A.J. Wright

It is what it is. Other reviewers have complained about the gaudiness of the merch, but that is one of my favorite parts of shopping there!
I love the housewares section, where I can find glittery black Jesus and glittery white Jesus side by side, made from the same mold. Lots of normal, practical housewares at a discount– dishware, glasses, that kind of thing. Lots of tacky home décor I will never want to buy (fake palm trees, fake wrought iron room dividers, faux-​distressed plaster urns), but it’s fun to browse. I enjoy shopping here.

If your taste is low key, there’s not too much this place can do for you. the Men’s section is GAUDY – if you ever want to know where you can find shiny plastic sneakers with a Louis Vuitton print on ‘em, you now know where to go. On the other hand:
1. They have REALLY cheap housewares. Not a bad selection of glasses, cookware, bath mats, sheets, etc. Some of its pretty tacky, but all-​in-​all, not bad.
2. It makes a lot of sense to buy socks, undershirts, and warm-​up clothes there. It’s hard to get tacky with socks and undershirts, and they have a huge selection of warm-​ups.
3. Swing by if you’re from out of town to check out the jerseys. As a former Wisconsinite, I’ve found Brewers, Packers, and Bucks gear there at one time or another. If you’re team isn’t popular around here and you want to save some cash, give it a shot.

I’m shopping at Target seeking sweet clothes for a «White Party» coming right up, P. Diddy style. $ 35 for a white shirt? $ 25 for pants? They don’t even have anything in white!
I really didn’t want to go to AJ’s. But it was a last resort decision. It had to be done.
And hot dog, am I glad I did! The store was a P. Diddy, Baby Phat, Enyce, glam haven! Row by densely packed row, I was in a mess of ridiculously unorganized selection. Clothes were half hanging on their plastic hangers, strewn on the dusty floor, ordered in no particular size. They had sweet white kicks, K. Swiss style, cropped white hooded sweatshirts, white Dickies for the boyz, white patent leather bags… And of course, everything was ultra cheap, well, in the $ 10 – 25 range. Best of all, I found exactly what I was looking for.
The perfect find for your end of summer White Party.

When it comes to competent staff… AJ Wright fails. I’m convinced that everyone who works at this store has been sentenced to community service for gang related crimes.
That being said, AJ has some awesome deals on shoes… well, shoes are what stood out because I’m slightly kick-​obsessed… but nearly every department had some better than TJ Max deals.
It’s ghetto… but the styles aren’t quite as homeboy as Burlington Coat Factory…
If you’re a bargain shopper… definately check AJ Wright before going to the mall for a new outfit.

I’ve made the mistake of walking in to this store two times. This is something I will not be doing again.
I think this is where the hood-​rat rejects from TJ Maxx and Marshall’s go to die. Seriously, how many patent leather sneakers does one store need? Apparently three aisles. In a variety of nausea inducing colors. Also available in nausea inducing colors. Pants. Lots and lots of realllllllly large pants in «spring» colors like mint, lemon, and death.
If you are a fan of Ecko or hoodies with prints that will cause seizures than this is the shop for you. Otherwise stick to the Target next door.
Maybe one day they’ll close this dive and make the Target in to a Super Target. That would be dreamy.

I really want to give this place 2.5 stars. It’s like a cheap version of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, which is odd since the latter two are cheap themselves. That doesn’t mean the stuff is anywhere near the niceness and quality of the latter two.
I can imagine the purchaser/​buyer saying, «Oh, look at that stuff that no one wants. Let’s buy it all and put it in a store. We should call it AJ Wright.»
It’s like all the rejects of the clothing world have came and landed here. Which in turn brings the rejects of society. One look at the clothes and I know I will NEVER buy anything here.
However, there are some spectacular deals on houseware goods. I’ve managed to snag wall sconces for 20% of what I’d pay in Bed Bath and Beyond.

Meet Tj Maxx’s degenerate cousin AJ Wright
What you can get here, for cheap:
socks
hanes white t’s
Mitchell N Ness Jerseys
mens underwear
Authetic team hats
possible disease
So in short, if you are a guy that likes sports and need socks and underwear, come here with germ wipes

hmm. i was at target today and i thought let me see what this aj wright store is all about. it’s weird. it’s like a tj maxx or marshalls, but something is a little off about it. i can’t quite put my finger on it. a weirdness that doesn’t make you want to linger too long. it was nothing that it did purposefully to compel me to hasten away from there, it was just something in the air.
on a high note, i scored a super-​heavy decorative wall mirror for a mere 16.99.
