I only have set up during the week from about 9 am to 2 pm and avoid the weekends which I understand to be vendor full by early morning. I choose a nice shopping weather day with low wind prediction. Vendors pay by the table and for 2026, it is I think $4 per table per day Mon-Thurs and $5 Fri. It's been a convenient way to sell stuff I'm decluttering from my home and the other vendors are friendly and helpful as are the customers. For customers, you may stop on day with varying number of vendors with varying types of stuff, so you can't count on what you'll find, and many vendors are gone by noontime.

When I went in the next day he was there yes but a different guy served me luckily who was really nice and let me exchange my squishy when the skin was peeling off. I recommend not going. I got a sweatshirt and a sweatshirt so if you would like to get something and the other store doesn't have the thing you want then go because the stuff is cute and everything the price was kind of good for the sweatshirt. The pocket knife wasn't too great kind of high. The screwdriver is kind of loose so it has to be very careful and then the squishy was about $10 and the skin was fill off of it so I got to exchange it and they have air bubbles now and a hole in the closet a little, but I can easily fix that but I still just don't recommend going because the owner is really rude

They had a great selection of shoes and a decent variety of men's and ladies clothes. Unfortunately, the men's and the ladies were lacking a variety of sizes throughout their lines. Their clothing prices seemed a bit high to me. The shoes were decently priced, if they had your size. There were a lot of miscellaneous home, office and holiday items, but I didn't find anything worth purchasing. They had a decent snack/food area, but the pricing was no deal and the things could be found in any grocery store. The store was a good place to waste time, not sure if it would be a destination that I would need to return to.

I should have bought it when I saw it at Marden's…read more They have my favorite whoopie pies, Labadie's. Growing up as a kid it was such a treat to go to Labadie's bakery. French bakery in Auburn, Maine. I think years ago, it burned down. And what happened after that I don't know. I think it was 2 years ago, I discovered that Marden's sells them. Now when I come to Maine, I have to go to Marden's to get my Labadie's whoopie pies. I think I bought about 10 to mail back to me in Austin. Whoopie pies were $1.50 each. Also picked up a windshield cover for the outside of the car. Winter is coming in Maine thought that would be a useful gift for my aunt and uncle's cars. Save a little time scrapping the ice and snow off. The windshield covers were only $9.00 each. Cashier was really nice. I asked her if she was closing the store or if she would be choking home soon. She said no, I'm closing the store but we close at 5pm today so not much longer. She was sweet.

If you grew up in Maine or been here long…read moreenough you likely have heard or seen their famous jingle and/or could even remember the "Marden's Lady". Over the years I have visited quite a large portion of the Marden's stores. I will say I believe this is one of the better locations and one of the largest I think. For selection I would say this location has such a huge variety of everything you could imagine plus so many items you wouldn't expect! You will go in looking to buy say a pair of socks or a rug and wind up walking out with a hammer, garden hose, snacks, and who knows what else. Along with the variety you can definitely find deals that are cheaper than anywhere else. I've found you can find some of the best deals on clothing here. Some other items are just worth passing on though oppositely. Have had no major complaints service wise here at all. Friendly staff although checking out may be a bit slower at times. Despite this and the fact some items really aren't worth buying overall a great store to stop at and browse for some good deals!

No good bag/purse selection, clothes weren't that great & overpriced for a place like this. Their ladies room wasn't up to par either. Don't forget to bring your own bag as they don't have any. The cashier was nice but only after I made conversation with her, she didn't seem to happy to be working there. I only walked out with a couple of things.
