Excuse me I guess I will just take my business elsewhere.

I went in around closing time. I myself work in retail. When I entered the store, the staff working…read morewere leaning on the counter and didn't pay any attention to me. I asked if they were closing soon and she was very disrespectful towards me and said I had about a minute and a half before I needed to leave. She walked away from me while talking, being disrespectful with her tone of voice. I left without buying anything and my service towards them will be no longer with the amount of disrespect I received.

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.

The folks at The Framemakers are creative geniuses…read more I brought in a simple certificate to frame. I also had a conductor's baton that I thought would be mounted outside the frame. They took what I gave them and created an amazing gift. The baton was mounted IN the frame, beside the certificate with mattes. I felt completely safe saying "I don't know what I want done with this" and they were able to create something I was proud to give as a gift!

A real local business, with specialty items you may not find in the big box stores. I always took the place for granted when I lived in Waterville, but recently, after moving from the area, when I was trying to find some drafting supplies locally or online, I realized that I might as well call Berry's and have them ship the items if I was going to have someone else do it anyway. Sure enough, Michael had no problem throwing the few things in a pouch and sending them off to me - and cheaper than they were being listed for on the major online retailers.

I was sad to find they are allowing one of their vendors to sell a framed reproduction photograph of a KKK March from the 1920s. I understand when dealers are selling actual historic artifacts (I still think it's weird to profit off of racist histories, but I understand there are complex perspectives about archival value). This was not that - the back of the photograph showed that it was printed last year at Walmart, but it was being sold as a framed photo. It felt celebratory and exploitative, not historical or educational. When I asked the owners why they allowed that, they said it is illegal to prevent the dealer from selling the photo, and that it is "free speech." This is not true - antique malls are legally allowed to have guidelines that dictate what can be sold. I think it is incredibly distasteful and unethical that the owners are choosing to profit off of images of such a violent, disgusting organization. I sadly won't return, and I hope the owners will take accountability for their decisions.
