I love the art they had up but it was out of my budget for now, but I will be back. They pack up everything so nice and check out is easy. They are open on the weekends too which is nice. What we wanted was in stock. It is my understanding that some items have to be ordered, but we did not do that so I can no give an opinion. But we love the store.

Review #982 2026-048…read more HomeGoods is located on the north end of Torrance Promenade; the store replaced part of defunct Kmart. Owned by TJX, it's a sister company to T.J. Maxx & Marshalls, selling home accessories, furniture, linens, cooking products, etc. HomeGoods used to offer online shopping but removed it a couple of years ago (10/2023) to refocus on the "treasure hunt" in-store experience due to low e-commerce sales & ever changing inventory for that surprise find. Their inventory of "home goods" is usually larger, better, & competitively priced in comparison to its sister companies. HG also stocks snacks, treats, coffees & teas, etc., but their prices are slightly higher than T.J. Maxx & Marshalls. Over the years, I alternated between this location at Torrance Promenade & the one in Torrance Crossroads on Crenshaw Blvd. (refer to Review #821) for deals on bedding, blankets, cookware & kitchenware, etc. I prefer shopping here for cookware & kitchenware because it's better organized than the hodgepodge at Torrance Crossroads. Parking is equally challenging since they're next door to Marshalls, particularly on weekends. My recent visit was looking for a nonstick fry pan replacement. Marshalls stocked only ceramic frying pans... this popularity surge was due to their marketing as a non-toxic, eco-friendly, & safer alternative to Teflon, ceramics' nonstick properties durability is short by 1/2 or more of the estimated lifespan. I was so happy to find an All-Clad pan... both versions: ceramic & nonstick were available, & I stuck with the nonstick (pun intended... LOL). Since we recently adopted a 2nd cat, I checked out their cat supplies but didn't find anything that could withstand Butter's high energy, macho tendencies. He's quite friendly & isn't destructive towards our furniture, yet he's more rough on his toys. His l'il sis, Snow, rivals Butter's play enthusiasm since he joined the family, & ripped a modular track with ball within a couple of weeks. Though the cardboard scratchers are nice, I think sisal poles or boards may work better for both their personalities, especially since they influence each other's behaviors. I normally don't see any staff on the floor, but if you need help, you can always ask a cashier to page someone for assistance. If you're looking for an alternative to expensive retail home décor & furnishings, HomeGoods is the place to be for competitively priced "home goods" for your home.

So- I just stood behind them to return an item. Those 2 groups checked out, I was next, and the girl with half black half gray hair smirked and said- you need to go behind everybody else on the other side of the register... (that happened to start lining up quickly). The folks I was lined up behind did not do that, and nothing was said to them. We were all returning items. I explained that to her and she just stared blankly with no response. So, I walked to the other side to now stand behind a giant line and of course a nice gentleman said- go in front of me-you were here first. This girl was a full on rude and frankly just wanted to be. I am definitely going to other locations where customer service is better.

I would have to agree with another review that stated Steven was the best salesman there…read more Unfortunately, Steven is no longer at the store. I returned there recently to attempt to purchase an additional piece of furniture. When I entered the store, nobody offered to help me and I had to go on a scouting mission on my own to find the type of table I was looking for. Before I left one of the sales people was helping me, after I approached him. He was supposed to call me last week about purchasing an additional table, and after a week of waiting, I still haven't received a phone call from him. The three stars is only because of my experience that I had with Steven. He was an exceptional sales person- very personable - and that was the reason why I decided to do business with this company.
