Maurice's is one of the only clothing stores geared toward young women and teenagers in Keene. With that being said, Maurice's definitely outshines the local competition, such as Urban Behavior and J.C. Penney. However, compared to other major retailers in different areas, Maurice's isn't anything special. Maurice's has a decent range of casual, professional and special occasion clothing. The prices are fair and the clothing quality is as well. The one major complaint I have about this store is the over-attentiveness of the sales staff. Having shopped at Maurice's on a regular basis since they opened, I have gotten to know the personalities of the people who work there. While there are two or three sales girls who are friendly and helpful, there are a few other sales associates who really take their sales job to another level. It feels as if the overly attentive associates follow you around the store, suggesting clothing that would look good on you, telling you what is on sale or promotion, suggesting particular accessories, asking you what you are shopping for, etc.---it never ends! I have actually not gone in to the store before because I saw a sales person I find particularly annoying through the store window. read more
