I should've known. This Marshalls in on Roosevelt Blvd, in a renovated strip mall, in a hit or miss…read moresection of the boulevard. It looks SO nice on the outside, so I decided to give it a look, despite what I knew to be true about the area.
Wrong.
Ugh. I actually get upset when my negative preconceptions are proven to be absolutely true. Upon parking, I walk up to the entrance and have to navigate around 2 men having an aggressive conversation at an above normal decibel level. I walk in, and not 2 seconds later, some young, scraggly dude walks past me and belches so loudly the employee unloading boxes gasps in disgust. I'm 10 seconds into my experience, and already I'm ready to turn around.
The next knock is that the inside is CRAZY crowded. Merchandise is just on top of other merchandise. Again, the outside of this store is completely redone, and it looks like it belongs in Marlton or some other uppity New Jersey suburb, but inside, it is super cramped.
The last straw was listening to the employees argue and yell at each other about when they were getting off, and what they WEREN'T going to do, etc, etc. I looked at the like 4 small racks of mens clothes and decided it wasn't worth it. I headed back to Jersey to do my shopping.
I love Marshalls, but I don't see a reason to come back to this one any time soon. It's a bit out of the way, and about 100 times less impressive than the one in my own town.
