Wow! This is one of the largest outdoor shopping centers I've been to besides an outlet mall. There…read moreis such a variety of shopping and dining options. There is a Barnes and Noble as an anchor store. The one by me is long gone. The Best Buy here is now vacant. They have many good food options. We were here for the Savor Bowie event. Seemed like 100+ vendors were lining the Main Street. Still, lots of of free parking option available in the back lots. Stores don't open until noon on Sundays from what I noticed. Many restaurants didn't have breakfast options except First Watch, of course.

You can tell that this place came into existence during the outdoor mixed used retail craze of the…read moreearly 2000s. You can find one of these in just about any neighborhood or city. They all look like cookie cutter examples from the original. The only difference, the stores held within. This location does seem to be fairing well when compared to other locations. Obviously not as good as outlet malls, but still holding its own. I was surprised by the amount of stores, but the lack of foot traffic. I came on a Sunday and there was hardly anyone here. Those that were coming were running into a single store and heading out. It doesn't seem that far fetched to have an area like this be busy. But I think that most people are straying away from shopping centers like this. The mix of stores didn't really compliment one another and if you wanted to go to other stores in the center you have to go away from the town center portion. I am sure that when it is warmer this is a more vibrant place, but places like this aren't that magically in the colder months.

I can see why Macy's are closing in droves. Instead of downsizing they would rather close up whole…read moredepartment stores. Once trip through many of them and you can see why. They don't have enough merchandise to fill the sales floor. I came in here in search of birthday gifts and wasn't very lucky. I gave up on that fairly quickly and decided to just browse what they had. When I say there was a lack of selection they still had items from Christmas on the shelves. Imagine seeing Christmas and Valentine items on shelves well into March. I did a bit more browsing and every single time I passed the fragrance items I was pounced on. I am not one that wants to be approached until I at least looked. What I wanted wasn't correctly put on the shelves. Without any prompting, an employee was right beside me attempting to get me to buy. When I asked the price, which isn't completely marked, I nearly laughed. Then when it did come time to check out here for the few items I did find, there was only one register counter open. With one associate working the counter. There was a line and each of the people in the line had either multiple items or returns to do. It was to the point that I wondered back to the main aisle of the store to scope out if there were any other area open. When I did this, an employee must have been coming back from a break and asked me if I needed anything. She pointed me to the desk behind me and I told here there was a line and I was trying to get out of there. She didn't even head back and take off her coat, she just jumped on the register. The only bright spot in this visit.

Absolutely a 5-Star interaction with Tia as I came to the store to purchase a carry on bag that I…read moresaw online and for a crazy great price! Tia was so very kind and patient with me as I inspected the bag, asked if there were any other bags available (wanted to get one for my girlfriend's daughter) and asking her to look up my Macy's card.

For me to stop here was kind of not needed at the time. I wasn't even really looking for anything…read morein particular, but since I was out, I wanted to keep myself busy by stopping at as many shopping plazas as I could. What a stupid mistake, especially since this plaza was a bit wonky. I came in here to honestly grab some essentials that I didn't necessarily have to have, but since I was out, why not get what I need and be done with it. Even though it was busy in here, I was still able to find what I needed and not feel rushed about it. However, when it came to checking out, there was a larger than expected line. I didn't mind, I was here for a reason, to waste some time and get some items. I had my airpods in and was minding my business. Get to the head of the line at the self checkout area and had the most pleasant discussion with the lady manning the area. She should be in a different line of work. Approaching people and just having a leisurely conversation with them. She had a gift which made for a nice end of a shopping trip.

I wasn't trying to spend a lot of money (which is easy in a TJ Maxx), so I perused the aisles a bit before heading to the men's section for shorts & shirts. To my surprise I found a lot of nice selections! I took 6 items to the dressing room to try on, and the woman there was very friendly! AND, I left with all 6 items! WINNING. I did notice they didn't have a very large selection of furniture, but I can't even recall a furniture purchase I've made at a TJ Maxx. I just like to look at what they have to get ideas. Checkout was quick. I once again declined to offer to 'save 10% on my purchase,' but it wasn't a problem. I also like that I can have my receipt emailed to me because... by now they know my email address. I don't know if that's good or bad. Check THIS ONE out!

Don't find myself coming too often since other grocery stores are closer to me and the patrons of Walmart scare me since they look and act like zombies.

It's well kept, just wish they had better shops.

As I am aware that every register can process returns, I asked how much time she needed to prioritize her tasks and I would be happy to wait. She then informed me that she was not going to argue with me and proceeded to walk away and continue her work behind a closed door. After closing the door in my face, without a resolution, I decided to write this review and look forward to formal store and district management to give me a call. This is awful service
