T J Maxx

This particular TJ Maxx location is awful. I’m a huge TJ’s fan and I won’t ever be returning to this one. It’s overall run down, doesn’t have a good selection of items, the lighting seemed… poor. It was just a really bad experience. Wasn’t too fond of the employee’s either. For those new to TJ Maxx: If you visit this one first, don’t let it damper your overall opinion of the store quite yet. Other locations are pretty amazing.

I want to start by saying I love TJ Maxx. I would say it is probably my favorite store chain. I spend more money at TJ Maxx stores than any other stores I frequent. I was so disappointed in this location and would probably never return. I spoke to two sales people while in the store and both of their attitude/​behavior border lined on being down right rude and extremely unfriendly. I did give one star because I purchased a pair of shoes while I was there, so something good did come from my visit. I have no desire to ever return to this location. I got the impression the employees really didn’t care too much if they had customers or not, so I will shop else where while in Lexington.

This place is like a goodwill cross-​bred with an outlet mall.
I’d heard about it being a good place to get nice clothes for cheap, so with my wife in tow we went here to update my wardrobe a little. The Mrs. was also interested to see if she could find anything here as well.
The place was crowded, disorganized, and generally had the stuff-​scattered-​around feel of a goodwill or salvation army store (except pricier and a little cleaner). The merchandise was in large part factory seconds or stuff that clearly wouldn’t sell anywhere else. That wasn’t to say that there were some decent things there, but you have to separate the wheat from the chaff.
After delving through the racks, we found a few shirts and a belt that seemed worth getting, but my wife couldn’t find anything that didn’t have gaping flaws/​tears/​stains that was in her size and not a fashion disaster. Maybe another day she could have found something. The shoe department was more of a token section filled with cast-​offs.
Will we be back? Maybe if we’re really scrounging around for clothes and can’t find something good elsewhere, but it’s definitely not going to be the first place we look.

This store marks my birthplace as a Maxxinista. The TJ Maxx/​Home Goods/Marshall’s stores are places I frequent… mainly because you can find designer clothes for excellent prices and their selection changes constantly. This specific store usually has an excellent selection of handbags and dresses, though they’re generally (and unfortunately) light on shoes. Sometimes it can become a bit disorganized, especially depending on how crowded it is. This is also the type of place that you have to be in the mood to dig through a lot of merchandise for good finds, and while it’s sometimes hit or miss, it’s usually spot on. On my most recent visit I walked away with three dresses for around $ 15 each. Really can’t beat that.
