    First timer . Have been walking by this shop but never visited till now . It's actually a hugeeee shop for a thrift shop. They have everything .. - home decors , kitchen things , dress , shoes , etc etc . Price of many items was much more than I thought . U have to look through slowly to get a good product with good price .... Lots of junk items inThe store . It's almost like a garage sale but a bit more expensive... no trial rooms , no returns ! Slowww billing ... average experience..

    We were passing by and decided to stop by. This place is really big you have to come with time. There was a lot of clothes I found good activity books. I didn't find any clothes. It was okay overall.

    If you are a Thrifter, then you will love this store. I'll judge thrift stores based on size, scent, selection, organization, and price. First, scent. The store is huge. It is massive. As a result it would be very difficult for you to experience that thrift store scent when you first walk in because of the amount of airflow so it gets five stars for scent. It also gets five stars for size. Its a very large thrift store one of the largest I've ever been in which is pretty characteristic for 2nd Ave. thrift Selection also gets five stars. Every shelf is packed. There's multiples of each item in every department. The only department that was a bit weak was furniture, but that could depend on when you go. It's also pretty well organized, especially in the clothing section. However, I always look through all of the racks because sizes do get mixed up. Sometimes pricing is also fair and they do have color discounts. Interestingly, they have self check out. That is a first. They also have a points reward system if you think you will go frequently. I will definitely be back just for some treasure hunting. Bring your own bags the carts do not go to the parking lot.

    I had the opportunity to visit 2A Thrift Superstore in Laurel, MD. Large store where you find a number of treasures. I was immediately drawn to the CD section. Customers are encouraged to join the 2A Thrift Superstore loyalty rewards program. I received twenty-five percent (25%) off each item. The customer service here is great. I am looking forward to visiting 2A Thrift Superstore again in the near future.

    Nowhere near as plentiful and organized as the Alexandria, VA/Ft. Belvoir (8750 Richmond Highway Alexandria, VA 22309) location. It was pretty late in the day, so perhaps that was the reason for the chaos, clutter and poor selection. Would return again. Maybe. __ IG: @f.hux I #yelp and I know things.

    This is a huge thrift store and probably the largest in Laurel. They have an incredibly large used books selection, tons of games and toys, and a lot of photo frames, yet the size I need still eludes me, as this is how thrift stores go. On certain weekdays, everything is half off, which is awesome. I somehow don't seem to get out here on those days, though. Big spacious parking lot out front. Watch out for construction going on and cars whizzing by.

    I decided to stop by this place on Mother's Day and all it did was piss me off! They had three colors on 50% off; however I walked the whole clothing department and all saw three items on sale! The store was flooded with 98% of orange and green tags which were not on sale! This is sad! Also I saw dress marked 11.99 which is 5 year old dress that comes from Bocovs that I bought for $7 dollars on the clearance rack!! People need to boycott this place!

    Too expensive for a thrift store for products that is mostly used and donated to them.The staff can be outright rude and disrespectful.

    My recent visits have been good. The lines aren't usually too long. As with these types of stores,…read moreit's always hit or miss! I've been able to find some good deals. The customer service is good. Parking is plentiful!

    Marshall's located in Laurel, Maryland was once an unbelievable oasis overflowing with real name…read morebrand leather handbags, exclusive fashions that you would see in this store at the same time they were for sale at bigger stores like Macy's. This Marshall use to carry beautiful Kate Spade, bags and modern dresses from BCBG. Now it's all fashion for frumpy grandmas and old church ladies. This Marshall's use to be the go to place for unique quality shoes and delicious styles. The store was clean and organized in a way that made it feel like a more prestigious store. It always felt like this Marshall's was a far far class above TJ Maxx and totally far beyond the league of Ross Dress For Less which is set up like a disorganized thrift store. Unfortunately, whomever is managing Marshall's worldwide has done it a terrible disservice. They have reorganized the set up of this store so that it now resembles the bargain basement Ross Dress for Less snd every local thrift store. The shoes use to set up nicely like notable shoe stores with shoes visibly set on top of a row and all the sizes of that shoe in their individual boxes under the top displayed shoe. Now Marshslls has reorganized and set up their shoes in close rows like those old Payless stores where the shoes are not easily visible snd you have to go on a hunt row by row looking for shoes or a particular shoe. Also, they cut the tops off of the shoe boxes so you cannot store the shoes nicely when you get home. This shoe set up makes the store feel cheap. In addition to various other issues, Marshall's no longer carries dresses. Well they have maybe 30 dresses that look like they have been there for years. Most of their dresses are outdated and not organization. The handbag quality has also declined. Marshdlls no longer carries nice Italian leather and name brand bags. Now Marshalls carries cheap handbags like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger. All the items appear as though the buyer for this store is 85 or 90 years old and never heard of fashion. The place looks sad inside. It needs a coat of paint on the walls and someone who knows how to organize a store. They really need help staging this space. The bathrooms snd fitting rooms are also of concern. They appear as though they are never cleaned. Marshall's please make changes. Your store is declining in every way.

    I am saying this to protect other brides, do not come here if you value your dress or your vintage…read moredress! Susan is one of the most unprofessional and unkind people I have ever met, and I like previous reviewers try to support small businesses ( please see my other reviews.) Susan and her team managed to give my dress back to me with blood stains (yes blood, see photos) and dirt after claiming it would be sent to their professional cleaners. (A verbal contract in the state of Maryland is a legally binding contract as well as paper.) She also claimed quote "it is not unusual to get a blood stains" "they are easiest to remove" "we leave it on until the end" unquote. Would you want your dress left with blood stains and dirt and given back to you like that a month before your wedding? Also, as we all know blood stains are some of the hardest to remove especially from white and delicate fabrics even with good hydrogen peroxide. My dress was a sample dress and only came in with a few water stains, which of course I knew because the store I bought it from informed me and sent photos . She kept claiming it came like that when I have clear before photos that it did not, from myself and the bridal store. Her team also made my drop waist an empire waist, which is exactly what I said I wanted to avoid since I have a short torso. I only wanted to raise the waist a little bit. So, I asked them to lower the waist again. They did not. She claimed my dress was just sitting in the done pile. They did not even sew the buttons back on. I looked at this dress since 2021 and it was my dream dress, but I couldn't afford it retail and was so happy when I got it at a sample sale. My heart has been broken. All it needed was a slight clean for small water stains in the back, some hemming and letting out the waist a little bit. Instead they ruined my dress. When I brought it to my personal dry cleaners the same day as that last fitting it was so filthy they were shocked and thought I had already worn the dress on my wedding day. Between them and another alterations team they stated it would not be ready due to the extensive dirt and damage on time (my wedding was in a month at that point and is still being extensively dry cleaned.) It was not even in sellable condition. So I clearly asked for a refund, but it took so long I disputed the charge with the bank. The bank refunded me of course, but by then the refund finally came in. The bank fixed the double refund, however Susan repeatedly harassed me about it and didn't believe me even when I showed her my bank statements that the second refund was cancelled. She also claimed she just gave me the refund without me asking (I asked in an email) and claimed my dress came that way even though I have photo proof before I brought it to her and the first day there. She also claimed I was harassing and bullying her when she started the emails and wouldn't let it go that the second refund had been cancelled and denying that having blood on a dress in your workplace is an environmental hazard. I only asked her to pay $280 in addition to the refund for the cleaning fee since her staff dirtied it which seemed reasonable considering the circumstances but she decided to gaslight me and did not take accountability. I would not wish the pain I have felt the last few weeks before my wedding instead of happiness on anyone. Again, it is customer's choice, but I would not recommend coming here. And in case you think this is just a disgruntled customer's review, please review the photos and keep in mind I was very kind to Susan and her team up to this point and even gave them gifts. I nor any other bride deserve this treatment especially after kindness. She now owes me $1500+ $280 =$1780 ( the value of the dress and my cleaning fee.) She and her team have caused property damage, non rendering of services, emotional distress, harassment, and slander and she will not even take accountability or admit it even with the proof. I also found her to be demeaning and rude to her employees whenever they tried to say anything in front of customers and observed that she constantly orders them around at all my appointments. So, buyer beware.

    I was going to wait to write this review until after my 9/21/24 wedding, but felt it was imperative…read morethat I post sooner rather than later for the benefit of other brides. I will add photos of my dresses (if Yelp allows me to edit) after our wedding. I deeply love and respect small business owners, and understand the weight reviews have, so it pains me to leave this. I brought my dress to Susan and her team at their Baltimore location in mid-July 2024. My dress needed to be hemmed, taken in at the bodice, and straps shortened. I was quoted ~$1400. While expensive, I believe in Susan's mission of paying her employees a living wage and believed that this price reflected the high quality of their alterations. I also brought Susan a gown to be shortened to tea length, let out, and sleeves removed for my rehearsal dinner. I was quoted ~$1000. I picked up my wedding gown on Saturday, 9/14 after the prior 3 fittings in which I was expressing concerns with extra fabric in the side bust. In previous fittings Susan and her team attempted to add a dart to correct this problem, which caused the bust line to come to a point. I am grateful for their work to then remove the dart and try another approach to correct the issue extra side bust fabric issue. When I picked up my wedding gown, the problem of the extra fabric at the side bust was not corrected. Furthermore the cups were added to the dress without appropriately stretching the fabric around the cup, causing a bunching effect of the fabric. I picked up my dress, having paid an extra $100 for an extra fitting (per Susan's contract), and promptly brought my dress to another seamstress who, luckily, was kind enough to fit me in for a rush appointment less than a week before my wedding day. The bodice fit was easily corrected by this seamstress in one fitting. My rehearsal dinner dress was provided to me for pickup with a lining layer left raw, which I will now finish at home on my own machine. The horse hair hem of my wedding dress is not snug to the bottom of my hem, as it originally was, and in some locations, the hem doesn't appear straight. In one of my last fittings, Susan pointed out that the straps of my dress started to turn grey, which she claimed was from handling the dress a lot through alterations. She said I could get the dress cleaned if I wanted, but I declined. I understand how this was possible, but it seems that some measures should be taken to avoid discoloring wedding dresses while working on them. Susan repeatedly commented on the difficulty of working with designer dresses, and misidentified my dress fabric as crepe (it is silk mikado). I found it troubling that someone with her level of experience made these comments. I believe Susan was well-intentioned in her efforts to ease my anxiety throughout the process, and truly do appreciate the intention. Multiple times, she insinuated that I was experiencing "bridal psychosis", meaning that I was picking apart my dress given the pressures of being a bride. I agree - being a bride is stressful, and can lead us to second-guess ourselves. However, this phrase is inappropriate and gaslighting. My dress had serious problems, which another seamstress agreed with and promptly acted on. Furthermore, making light of mental illness in this manner is insulting. This experience left me more stressed than I have ever been in my life. I hardly slept or ate these last few weeks because in the two weeks before my wedding, I wasn't sure if my dress could be saved. I had nearby bridal shops holding samples for me, as until finding a new seamstress, I thought I would have to buy a whole new dress again. Susan stated her mission was to "take the stress out of dressing for your wedding." This is an admirable goal, which unfortunately was far from met in my case. Multiple times through my months of working with Susan and her team, I was asked to write a review. I'm deeply sorry it has to be this one. I appreciate the opportunity to work with Susan, Joan, and Joy, and genuinely wish them well and success with future brides' dresses. Perhaps I was just unlucky.
