My Mom, bestie & I stopped in here when we headed up to Embden, ME. My Mom has been in here before…read more(many times) & had told me this location is one of the bigger ones. My bestie had never been to a Marden's before. This location is bigger than other locations that I've been in but I feel what makes it bigger is their furniture section which is HUGE. They also have a pretty big crafting material section too. I did see some brand name shoes in the shoe section. I picked up this super cute black with white striped backpack that I used as my carry on bag for my plane ride back home which after using it I was in more awh with it. Great price too! I saw a bunny in a shopping cart that was friendly & two doggies with their owner....must of been bring your pet to Marden's day?? lol Bathrooms were clean as they have some out front & in the back. I was surprised that they really didn't have a big beauty product section for shampoo's, conditioner's, body wash, etc. I did find a cat treat toy that I had found at a different location when I was home visiting in April that I told my bestie she had to buy for her cats & I got one for my co-worker. My bestie found a pair of VANS that she purchased for a great price & loves. I wasn't super impressed with this location. It also seemed that someone may have been caught stealing because when we were leaving their were undercover security & police causing a commotion. Marden's are ALWAYS WORTH stopping in!!

Growing up hearing the commercial jingle, "I should have bought it...... when I saw it..... at…read moreMardens" - It's a Maine thing and that jingle holds true. If you see a deal that you really want....don't hesitate, buy it, because it WILL be gone within a week or so. This location is VERY easy to find. A repurposed Kmart building, I believe... It's right off the highway, in fact you can see it from the off ramp to the right. There is plenty of parking even when it's crowded. I have never been to this location around the holiday, but I have driven by, and it is always packed! This locally owned retail chain, sells overstock, liquidation and salvage items. We have seen things from Amazon as well. It's usually so random, although they have seasonally appropriate items as well. When we have the time and energy, we like going through the clearance aisles...yes, they have clearance aisles in a discount store. The clearance aisles are only organized by the percentage off and so it's chaotic. Bring patience and a sharp eye for deals. We have gotten electronic peripherals and accessories. We also bought some great yard deals. While we didn't buy them, they had Robotic Lawn mowers with batteries for sale. This store is quite large and have things like furniture, appliances....so much stuff. If you are a patient bargain hunter, that doesn't mind being around people, you may like this store. Worth at least one visit.

Great deals. I love thrifting and love having this close by! Since I don't have kids I can't speak…read moremuch to the kids' section but I popped in and looked and it looks great, and my coworker who does have a child loves it. As for me, I just shop on the adult side. It is hit or miss as with any thrift store; some days I won't find anything but other days I have found a fantastic cute shirt, brand new shoes, and an adorable vase, all very inexpensive. It is so satisfying to save money and up-cycle! Also their consignment process is easy. You can get store credit or cash once your items sell.

I was very disappointed with my experience at this antique and nostalgia shop…read more During our visit, I found a beautiful wicker writing desk/secretary priced at only $75. I thought it was a wonderful deal and immediately went to tell my husband, who agreed that I should purchase it. Our vehicle was already full of furniture and other purchases, but because this piece was relatively small, I believed it would fit on top of one of our cabinets. Wanting to be absolutely certain, I went back inside and politely asked if the owner had a measuring tape available. I was told that she could not take the piece apart because there were too many customers in the store and that I would have to come back another day. I explained that we were only visiting the area and lived quite a distance away. By the time I returned outside to speak with my husband, the last customer was leaving. From my perspective, preparing the piece would have involved simply removing a few items from it. I left feeling disappointed that there was no effort made to help complete the sale. My husband and I own an antiques and collectibles business ourselves, and we strongly believe that customer service is extremely important. We have always tried to go the extra mile for our customers because they are the reason a business succeeds. The shop had interesting items, and I truly wanted to purchase this piece, but the lack of customer service left a negative impression. Sadly, this experience cost the store two potential repeat customers.
