Your crafting life as you know it is incomplete if you haven't stopped here yet…read more This store has fabric like you literally can't believe. Prints of Archie comics and flying saucers, of vintage seed packs and bikes on parade. And best of all, fabric capturing every part of Maine life - mussel shells, sea glass, lobsters, buoys, mountains, and more. And the fun doesn't stop there - they also sell prints and easy but beautiful kits for making lighthouses and other simple projects. And they'll give you advice on buttons or materials or anything else sewing-related. Not to be missed for crafters in the area!

Awesome Quilt Shop in Bar Harbor! So many options and Maine inspired fabrics! They even opened…read morespecifically on a Monday when they are normally closed because of our quilting group called ahead before our cruise ship stop in Bar Harbor. Definitely check it out when you're in port. It's a half mile walk slightly up hill from the cruise port. Or you can call an Uber to go up and walk back. So many scenic sights on the stroll through town!

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.

Beautiful store with some of the nicest gifts and crafts from Maine. All of their items are high end and just the pick of the litter. I especially liked the hand blown glass lobster floats. They were awesome. Wonderful selection of Maine books and children's books, as well as stationery. Some clothes and belts and sea bags by various Maine companies. Just wonderful local Maine goods for sale in a nice atmosphere for a great cause.
