This poor mall. I know they peaked in the 80s and 90s and it's just sad to see it now. There are…read moreempty stores, including a few of the big ones, and some stores just sell nothing I find worthwhile. There often seems to be more staff there then customers and I wonder how it stays open at all. The stores are kinda either very expensive or just selling cheap stuff.

ABC Warehouse (which I learned is not Alcohol Beverage Control), Office Depot, Ulta, Fresh Thyme, TJ Maxx, Old Navy and more. The center is easy to access with traffic lights at some entrances. Decent traffic control inside with clearly posted pedestrian crossing markings in front of the larger stores. Lots of parking and lighting. [Review 11231 overall, 1007 of 2019.]

No matter where you go they are always a disaster on the sales floor. Employ people throughout the day who's main job is to clean crap up in a certain department. Overall I've found more stuff in this kohls then the one on westnage. Less people easy to get to.

It doesn't seem right that I came to Kohl's instead of Meijer's Thrifty Acres here in Western…read moreMichigan, I'm usually a When In Rome kind of guy. But both Meijer and Kohl's are suffering from being short handed, and I have a Kohl's credit card and some Kohl's cash. It's a bit messy because it's a couple days before Christmas and a storm is coming and they have about half the workers they need. The ones that are working are doing a great job, and the prices are very good for the quality and I needed these gloves and socks, and I wanted the pajamas. Did you know that pajamas were invented in India? It's a Sanskrit word. If pajamas aren't civilization, then I don't know what is. I seem to have digressed. Kohl's is okay.

A decent shop at TJ's today. I did walk the rest of the store but spent most of my time and…read moreattention in the very small men's section that is to the left as one walks in. A few racks of stuff are well stuffed and items are labeled with sizes. It was nice to see that they do get 2x's here.

Clothing (mens, ladies, girls and boys), housewares, some kitchenware, luggage, shoes and even some packaged food items. [Review 11235 overall, 1011 of 2019.]

Whenever I have time to spare, I pop into TJ Maxx to browse and always come home with something…read morenew. This store is pretty big and laid out well. It can, however, get bottle necked in certain aisles when people have carts and don't scoot over to let you pass. I also like the fact that they have streamlined their check-out so you don't have to jockey for a register. It absolutely runs smoothly and no one gets upset because they are behind someone with a return or a lot of items. If they check-out line does get long, I hear them paging for other sales associates to come to the front to help. One thing I have noticed in my past visits are how friendly the sales associates are. I had at least 4 say "Hi, Thanks for shopping at TJ's" when they walked by me and the cashiers also seem to be happier asking me how my shopping experience was, did I find everything, etc. I don't know what training TJ Maxx is giving their employees, but it appears to be making a huge difference. You never know what you will find at TJ Maxx and that is one reason I really like this store.
