I wasn't sure what to expect of Bealls because I'd never been to one of these stores before…read more Walking in you get the same vibe as a TJ Max. The store mainly consists of clothing for men and women, but also has a limited range of home goods and pet items. I was impressed with the range of men's clothing with the section being as big as the women's. You can find lots of brands that are at a lower cost than they would be elsewhere where (though also maybe a season or two dated ...). In all I thought it was a decent store and I'd go back. You never know what kind of gem you might find. There were not too many people working at the store but those who were seemed friendly enough.

This TJ Maxx is situated in a place with many different kinds of stores (it's literally next to an…read moreindoor swim school and a Office Max) but is conveniently located off of Bee Ridge Rd. in South/Central Sarasota FL. When you shop at TJ Maxx you pretty much always know what you get: a random variety of brand names and not-so-brand names items at a decent discount (items are prices below MSRP). The store has clothing, accessories, shoes, beauty products, and some housewares. I like finding unusual selections I most likely would not find elsewhere. Recently I purchased a hair serum/leave in conditioner that does wonders for my hair that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. :) The store is always clean and well organized and the associates could not be nicer and more pleasant and hard-working. There is ample parking in the plaza parking lot. I enjoy the seasonal items offered and enjoy perusing the shoe section as well. I have found some random pieces that make a nice addition to my house and wardrobe here. While you are in the area you might as well check out the houseware-centric sister store, HomeGoods, down the street. Happy shopping!

When you purchase too many treasures on vacation and must go in search of an additional…read moresuitcase--one comes to TJ Maxx. What I thought was going to be a quick in-and-out shopping experience turned into a slow shopping spree. Joke was on ME. So many good finds here! For example, back home we do NOT have high-end jewelry or even branded jewelry for that matter. They legit had GUCCI rings, necklaces, earrings and the best branded sunglass case I have ever seen at a secondhand distributor store. I may have to visit a TJ Maxx each time I go on vacations now, just to see the different products logistically placed for each area's demographic. Clearly my fashion and accessory choices reside in Florida.

I like malls. I always have. I also have a foundness for plazzas…read more The nice think about UTC is that it has AC. I talk walks daily. I don't mind being hot, but there are some Florida days that walking outside just isn't healthy. Gyms can be too stuffy or crowded. The UTC, except around the December holidays, is never that crowded. I park at one end, go in, walk through one anchor store, walk all the way down the mall righ through the other anchor store. I do this two or three times, than walk up the escalator and making the same end to end pass another two or three times. While walking with purpose I can see what stores are open, moving, have sales, are busy or slow. Then, after my walk with purpose, I will make one more pass, stopping at stores I may want to look in, or get a snack, or beverage. UTC is clean, cool, has usefull stores. Too many loud kids in the kids area is a drag, but oh, well.

I had such an exceptional experience with Jana in the sunglasses department at Dillard's at…read moreUniversity Town Center Mall in Sarasota that I felt compelled to share it with both the store and corporate leadership. I came in simply looking for a new pair of sunglasses, and Jana immediately stood out for her professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm to help. She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoughtfully suggest styles for me to try, all while making the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than rushed or transactional. What impressed me the most was her level of engagement and initiative. She could have easily remained behind the counter and waited for customers to approach, but instead she actively helped guide me through different options, offering expert suggestions and encouragement as I tried on several pairs. She made me feel confident and great in every pair I tried. In fact, she suggested a pair that I would have never picked out for myself -- and I loved them so much that I purchased them immediately. I walked out absolutely thrilled with my purchase. As someone who studied Fashion Merchandising in college and worked in retail for over 15 years, I recognize truly exceptional customer service when I see it. Jana demonstrated the kind of service, product knowledge, and personal attention that elevates the entire shopping experience and ultimately drives sales. Employees like Jana are incredibly valuable and truly represent the level of service that keeps customers coming back. I hope she receives the recognition she deserves -- she absolutely earned!

My friends say all the time, "oh I got this at Ross" in reference to a cute top or dress I commented on. But every time I go in there it's a wasteland. It's where ugly, unloved clothes go to die.... Alone. I do give one star because they have inexpensive bakeware items and occasionally a cute home decor item. Luckily I don't shop here enough to worry about the line situation at the register.
