If I could leave negative stars I would. Went in the store to browse with my family. Instead of just greeting us and letting us shop, the associates kept bothering us and making unwanted comments. My 13 year old chose not to wear a coat. They wouldn't stop talking about it. The older associate then commented loudly that my daughter had no meat on her bones. It is totally unacceptable to comment on another person's body, or what they are wearing. Nobody asked for her opinion. It was not at all appreciated, it was offensive. Extremely unprofessional. We were all so uncomfortable that we left immediately. Body shaming is never acceptable! Especially on international women's day. After more than 30 years shopping here I will never return. read more

I should have written this review long ago but this year I needed to go to Hands more then usual. The service is superb! I could not for the life of me figure out why I couldn't connect my power washer, any of it. I went to Hands out of frustration (even though I got it at Home Depot) the fellow working clearly knew what he was doing and spent probably 10 minutes and told me the connections were a little worped and rusted. Instead of trying to sell me a new one, he taught me that adding a little lubraderm to the joints would make them fit. And he assembled it for me. He wouldn't even take a tip, saying they are not that kind of store and asked me to add a little to the plate at church. Another time I needed some replacement screws and couldn't figure out how to match them exactly. A different person spent 5 minutes not just finding the right screw for me but showing me how to use the equipment they had at the store to do it myself. Another time I needed a replacement outside table. Yet another person spent a lot of time with me listening to what I wanted and my time frame (fast) to try to find me a table that had in stock. Yes, this would have been a pretty big sale for them, but he was really trying to understand my needs and alternatives to make me happy with whatever I purchased. Always friendly, epic service! read more

I bought wear over sunglasses for 27 dollars. Well, it didn't take long for the lenses to start popping out. This is an outrage for that price. I dare you to think you can get a good quality buy at Hands. read more

Definitely convenient when you're in a pinch and don't want to leave the island. Good combination of hardware and beach needs. Prices are crazy though and they now add a credit card fee on top of that. Definitely try to buy off island if you have a chance. read more

Absolutely disgusted by the woman working there yesterday. My plus sized niece bought a crop top shirt and after she left the store this woman had the audacity to comment "that shirt will never fit that girl" and roll her eyes. How dare she body shame a child.i told her it was my niece she was talking about and she was obviously embarrassed and apologized, but I will NEVER return to a store that has this type of attitude. Shame on you Hands! Do better. read more

Always has something in their selection you can probably use. Been in business a long time so there doing something right.

The employees at Hands are very helpful and knowledgeable. We described what we were looking for and they easily located it for us and gave us some helpful tips. read more

Used to be fun and filled with funny surprises for my kids plus home essentials. Now it feels like a nursing home and I didn't appreciate being openly mocked by the cashier for wearing a mask. Not my LBI. Happy to take my business elsewhere after 30 years. read more

If Hands doesn't have it, you don't need it. Here's a short list of some essentials available at Hands: Sandcastle tools All possible beach accoutrement Fun snacks All clothing required to put together an outfit ensemble Novels Paint chips Paint A soap dish Stationary Legos Beach-themed frames A full dinnerware set A complete patio set Flannel shirts All necessary hardware to build a home A grill Beach souvenirs for every life stage Pure joy Hands has been a staple in my beach-life for 15 years, but it's been a part of LBI's story for much longer than that. The employees are fun and friendly, and the store is clean, absent of stray sand, seaweed, or beach debris despite being a mere 2 blocks from the beach. I guarantee you'll walk out of Hands with a horizon-line-of-a-smile. read more

Now is the time to shop here for summer! Almost everything is 2/3 off! Nice selection of swim trunks and the cashier is adorable! read more

Hands Store - Department Stores Near Me - Long Beach Township, New Jersey

See all

just an FYI store is closing after 70 yrs everything must go sales right now 50% off most things but the longer you wait the higher the discount but also the greater the chance a particular item you want may be sold out for good read more

Went to Hands on 7/26 for a pair of summer sandals . . . sign on front door: 40% off on summer sportswear . . . asked cashier for 40% disc on summer sandals, as they're for summer sports wearing. Cashier said no disc; store mgr said no disc. My question: how are summer sandals for use in swimming and surf walking NOT summer sportswear? The discount on the item would have amounted to a mere $6.00 . . . is Hands that hard up for $6.00. Clearly, Hands mgr isn't interested in my return patronage! read more
