This is one of the newer HomeGoods stores that are under the TJ Maxx/Marshall's brand umbrella that have started to come to Buffalo. It is in the old Borders store across from Red Robin. It is spacious, bright and has a wide variety of items. They feature a lot of lamps, decorative pillows, kitchen goods, and small occasional furniture. Pretty much anything to decorate and function in your home. They also carry specialty foods, pet supplies, rugs, organizational items and other such things.
I commend them for keeping the store fairly well organized and clean, especially the clearance sections which can often turn into a mess pretty quickly. Even for later on a Saturday night, I saw associates restocking, sorting, and trying to keep it tidy.
Selection was ok. Some areas have so much stuff, while others not a lot. It is sort of a crap shoot with these places. I came looking for some potholders and new sheets. I saw a lot of the same potholders that I saw at TJ Maxx. Either they weren't my style or only were rated up to 300 degrees/only good for right handed holding. There was a large sheet selection, if you have a queen or king bed. There was not a single set of Full sheets either in the general department or smaller clearance. I saw other things I like if I was in the market for them. Just the nature of these stores. I got a couple of smaller items though for a decent prices. Most of the clearance merchandise looked pretty good too. Sometimes broken/damaged items are relegated here, but this store's stuff was just off season or not selling.
If you are considering a gift (maybe for a baby/bridal shower or a new homeowner) one from here is good for all HomeGoods/TJ Maxx/Marshall's stores so it gives a person a lot of places to look. read more
