While at first hearing about HomeGoods and TJ Maxx making a move from the Quarry Square plaza to the new Milford Crossing, I was happy to see a new store for both HomeGoods and TJ Maxx. At the same time, I was also extremely disappointed to see the other store (on Rt 16) close.
While this new HomeGoods is great, and has been great effort into making look just as gorgeous as the other, it's smaller and doesn't have the over-the-top selection like the old HomeGoods did.
The previous Milford HomeGoods was better than any of the other HomeGoods locations... it was three times the size and had more than necessary selection which equated into the biggest savings, most gem hunting, and most importantly most gem FINDINGS!
This new location was much smaller with less space to move around (and while I'm a fan of using space well, I don't like any place where I feel like if I make one wrong move I could knock over a lamp or something!), and much less selection.
I still did like the inventory and the service. Two of the associates came up to me and asked me if I needed help, and since I didn't know where anything was, I definitely needed help! I was able to find just what I was looking for, and of course, knowing HomeGoods, more! I always am able to find all sorts of cool stuff here.
Checkout was fast and friendly, and even with it being new, they still had TJ Maxx separate with walls in between, which I really like. While there is only one checkout area, they seem to have more than enough registers for the amount of foot traffic to keep things moving along quickly.... which is greatly appreciated, especially in comparison to the Plainville location which is always extremely overcrowded, has even less space to move around, and doesn't even have TJ Maxx and HomeGoods separated!
While I wasn't happy to see the other store close, I am looking forward to making this store a regular stop on my treks to Milford.... HomeGoods in general is a good store for gifts, gadgets and anything for the house, and with the constant great prices, you just cannot go wrong. 4 stars. read more
