I initially came into the store to find a gift for a friend...
Long story short, I ended up with a gorgeous new lipstick red luggage set and a bag of my favorite dried apricots.
(Don't worry, I ended up getting my friend a gift card!).
I remember when this store used to be Bed Bath & Beyond, and I was so excited to discover that they turned it into a Marshalls. I couldn't wait to check it out. And it did not disappoint!
The displays were neat and organized and filled with all sorts of beautiful, tempting things to take home. It's a little bit smaller than some of the other Marshalls stores I've been to, but I think it was laid out well.
I wish they had more shoes in my size though. They had a pretty decent selection of shoes but nothing that I could wear.
Back to my luggage... It was the first thing I noticed when I walked in the store. They had a rather impressive collection of suitcases available in a wide variety of styles.... Something to suit a broad variety of tastes. I spent an obscenely long time deciding between two equally gorgeous red luggage sets before finally deciding on the one that I bought. The suitcases appear to be of good quality in addition to looking absolutely stunning!
They were also a really great price. I think the 29-in 8 wheel spinner suitcase was $79.99, while the smaller 25-in 8 wheel spinner suitcase was $69.99.
Unfortunately, I was short on time so I didn't have the chance to spend as much time in the store as I would have liked. I did notice that the bath & body section had lots of seasonal pumpkin and autumnal themed products. And of course, the store was chock-full of Halloween displays and decorations. Everything from candies to door decorations to interior decor... If you're into that sort of thing.
What I appreciated the most is how kind and friendly the staff was. While ringing up my purchase, the cashier asked about my upcoming vacation and offered some great recommendations for some of the places that plan to visit.
As I was leaving, another one of the managers stopped to compliment me on my choice of luggage and engage me in a brief but enjoyable chat.
As much as I appreciate an efficient transactional experience, I appreciate a engaging and personable experience that much more. It was a wonderful shopping experience, and I'll be returning for the vibes alone! read more
