Videos and games are also at a good price. They may not have the latest and greatest but that is why they have bargain prices. This place is clean and well lit and easy to get around in. The parking on this side is a bit less crazy than the other side closer to Market Basket. This is in a strip mall with a few restaurants, CVS and other stores.

I found an expired shelf tag for an item I was going to purchase. The first cashier that started to help me told me I had to go to the other register because he didn't understand what I was asking. I expected to have the coupon honored as EVERY OTHER STORE DOES!! The 2nd cashier seemed preoccupied as she was also having a conversation with someone on her cell phone speaking to them in her native language. When I asked about the expired coupon She rolled her eyes and said Someone forgot to remove it I said ok, I took a picture are you going to take $ 3 off correct? She said no, no manager. If I scan it don't come off I can't do it I asked who was in charge that can fix it? She said no manager maybe tomorrow I don't know. I left the store without my items. The staff has certainly gone downhill since the beautiful renovation. Union Street you lost me as a customer. I'm deleting your app. I can get the same lousy service at Walmart

This is one of the best Marshalls around, so if I am out in the 'burbs I will make some sort of…read moreexcuse about "needing" something to make browsing seem like a necessity. Decent shoe selection - not huge, but very well organized/stocked - and they had exactly what I was looking for (unlike the huge DSW next door which did not!). The two GREAT things about this location is how clean/organized it is, as well as there being several of each size for the items that are dispayed on the end racks. Obviously the adorable sweater will sell quickly, but when it is prominently displayed and the last one available is the one on the display/mannequin, prepare for the reality of it not being the size you are looking for. This hasn't been the case when I have been here, and even with it being the week before Christmas, they had a lot of each item yesterday.

Your purchase does not go to charity whatsoever. In fact, following regulatory scrutiny over charitable messaging in the late 2010s, they actually removed any signage suggesting affiliation with the Epilepsy Foundation from stores...Tax avoidance aside, the inventory from an average person like the writer and reader of this review, is completely free. They just pay someone to: sort it, take a very cursory glance at eBay sales history (maybe even just listing price, which are two totally different things), print a price tag that's somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 that sale value, and throw it on a shelf. Fine. This is nothing new really. But, it has gotten pretty egregious over the years and it's hard to not be a little incensed knowing that this inventory is, by and large, gratis. This particular store is jam-packed with people. I had to park in a lot I didn't even know existed, behind the store, at 2PM on a Thursday. The din of hangers screeching against the racks, people walking around talking on their phones as if they were shorting stocks on used Bop-Its at a Bloomberg terminal, and people sitting at the back of the store eating apple slices out of baggies (this was a new one). It's an interesting, if not somewhat sad, vignette of the economic reality for many people right now. Seeing a beat up Nintendo Wii listed for $49.99 in the display case at the front is laughable. For a while now my favorite thing has been to just go to the front to smirk at what they deem high-value enough to put behind the glass. If you're someone who knows beyond the surface level brands, or whatever, you might have had some good luck in the past maybe snagging a Barbour shirt for a couple of bucks. Back then, only the household names would be marked up. Now, I'm pretty sure they look up almost anything. It's become pretty hard to find a good deal. Not to sound greedy, but that's kind of the whole conceit of thrifting, right? If it isn't the profiteering on their end making it difficult to find good deals, it's the torrent of people coming in with flipping in mind. I get it. Flipping is fun. But, half of that stuff you have in your cart is not going to sell. Honestly 80% of it won't and you'll end up hanging onto it out of stubbornness or just eventually returning it from whence it came. Board games are not worth selling, the weight and dimensions alone make the margins maybe a couple of dollars after paying for shipping and handling. Just because that celebrity cookbook sold once for $29.99 in June 2022 doesn't mean it will sell now. Despite that, likely because of TikTok, I see people combing the racks and loading up carts full of Jerry Maguire VHS tapes and old Bing Crosby Christmas records... Not an indictment of flippers, it's more of an indicator of the economy we're in. Where so many people are now willing to squat in the crowded aisles, scanning every book on the shelf hoping to find some obscure first printing of an electrical engineering textbook to list on ThriftBooks. Clearly if people are willing to do that all day, they must need the money, and there's no judgement on that. It's just a shame because it does really thin out the amount of interesting things on the shelves for people wanting to find something purely for their own enjoyment. I've been thrifting for a long time and I still love it, but this particular store always follows me home. I never leave feeling better than when I entered.

It was like walking into the G.C. Murphy's store in the town I grew up in western PA in the 1970's. The blend of modern and classic toys is well thought out. I imagine the children of Holliston, MA are lucky to have such a nice place to visit in their own back yard. The owners are very nice people and I enjoyed just chatting as we patronized the well storied store. It's been a stable of the community since 1863. Look for the heart on the floor. It has a beautiful story surrounding it. My wife was drawn in to the store by the easel sign outside the store advertising Pokémon cards. Any grandparents who have preteen and teenage grandchildren know what that is. Even more enjoyable and impressive was the proprietor's knowledge of all things Pokémon! I know nothing about such things myself. As well as the toys there is a really nice selection of candy to select from. Some, that took me back to my youth again as well! We purchased a nice supply of candy and a few educational toys for our 2 year old granddaughter, and some Pokémon cards for our grandsons. They also have a charming display of big time pictures of customers who found valuable Pokémon cards in their packs of cards. As, well as lovely pictures that show how proud of grandparents they are! It's worth a visit again for sure! The real value of this store is the Owners! They are the real Gems !! PRICELESS!
