Today I went to Marshall's in Avon to buy baby items as I did yesterday as well spending over $300…read more I am 9 months pregnant and super excited. However, when I went to the register to make my purchase today a grouchy old lady with a huge stick up her a** had the nerve to tell my twin 9 year old sons to not touch the candy bags on display if they weren't going to buy them. I quickly wondered why she would ASSUME we weren't going to buy them and I asked her if she was in a bad mood. I followed up by saying that I've never heard that people can't look at candy bags or show their parents for possible purchase. She said that many customers won't buy an item if it has been touched. WOW! Is all I can say. The nerve. Everything is touched in their store! Candles are smelled, pillows are squeezed and the list goes on. This lady had some nerve and even the manager behind her told me it was fine if my kids picked up and looked at the candy bags. I mean what's the point of having tiny gum-ball machines right next to the register if NOT TO ENTICE children?!!!!! Anyhow, people are just rude and all I can say is that if you're damn near 80 years old and working at Marshall's just chill the F*ck out. You don't need to act like you own the store and try to make up these crazy rules to try and assert your non-existent power. Maybe CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT THE JOB FOR YOU. If you do have grandkids I pray for them because you do not know how to talk to or treat children.

Marshall's is a discount retail chain; they purchase overstock/out of season items from…read moremanufacturers and sell it for a lower price. There are 1236 stores in the US and Canada. I'm a fan of this Marshall's; it's big, clean, and organized. It is very similar to the HomeGoods (which is owned by the same company) in the same plaza. I love their clearance racks which can be found at the end of the aisles. A great place to bargain shop. I've always loved TJ Maxx and Marshall's is essentially its sibling. The following types of products can be found at Marshall's; footwear, clothing, bath, bedding, home decor, furniture, beauty products, jewelry, housewares, toys, giftware, and per supplies. I loved their candles and random skincare, and soaps. The clothes were pretty decent if you dig around the racks. The employees were friendly. Overall, a fun place to shop and you can find some treasures; as their slogan says, "Your surprise is waiting and never boring, always surprising."

The shops are in various types of buildings; historic houses and more conventional buildings. Getting in and out of the lot was easy because of the traffic lights; this is crucial especially on the busy route 44.

There are approximately 45 stores and restaurants; there were plenty of parking and even a playground. I find myself here quite often so I figured I'd give it an update. It's a beautifully maintained shopping plaza that reminds me of Garden City in Cranston, RI. On a beautiful day, it's a great place to walk around. They also hosts special events throughout the year. I enjoy dining at Mercato, 110 Grill, Flatbread Pizza, Panera Bread, and Jefferson Fry Company. My kids love Barnes and Noble and Walter's Boundless Playground. If you need to do your grocery shopping, there is a Shop Rite. There are plenty of shopping that can be done at Kohl's, Old Navy, Dick's Sporting Goods and more. There is a new candy shop called The Nutmeg Sweet Shoppe. If you want to attend a cooking class, book a spot at Sur La Table. There are a variety of businesses and many more businesses are being added. It's located on Route 44 and going in and out of the place can be chaotic sometimes, but there are traffic lights. Overall, it's a great place to shop and dine.

This is a great plaza, despite the traffic leading up to it. Unfortunately this area is building…read moreup, adding more and more lights, more and more lanes, and sometimes getting in and out requires patience. Once you pull in, there's an immediate four way stop sign intersection that can require the most patience of all, because taking turns is an unknown concept to some people. But once you're in, there's a good distribution of restaurants to stores. Shop Rite, Panera Bread, Barnes and Noble, Ben & Jerry's, Kohls, Chipotle, the Paper Store.... A lot of these places have been around for years. When a shop does go out, a new one comes in pretty quickly. There is a lot of parking available, although some is further than others. Kohl's has a large lot to itself entering on the second floor. The holidays can get chaotic in all parking areas, so if you must join the fray be kind.

The Hoyt Cinema is a great place to see a movie. They have Luna Pizza, a Chili's, a Bed Bath and Beyond, a drug store, a card store, a gym, and a few more tenants. We have seen some turnover during the years. Oddly, 2 ice cream places including a Stone Cold Creamery have folded over the years. One of the major recent changes was the replacement of Borders Books by Home Goods. Plenty of parking. Nice easy access. You can get in and out fast, and just about always can get what you need somewhere.

There are 11 buildings that are original to the farm and currently being used as one of these businesses; there are a total of 17 buildings.

There are other restaurants that I'm looking forward to checking out in this plaza, Somewhere in Bangkok and Villa Mulino to name a couple.

Kohl's is known for its value and selection of brands for the whole family. They also have great sales and coupons; the more you purchase the more coupons you get. Also, it's a convenient place to shop because they offer online shopping, in-store shopping, and they have an app. You can even do Amazon returns there. I've always enjoyed shopping at Kohl's because the prices are usually good. I'm a bargain shopper so you will find me at the clearance racks. The best time to go is during the holidays (fourth of July, black Friday, end of summer, etc.) There is something for everyone and a great place to shop for gifts too. I like this store because it's two levels, organized, clean, and has great parking. There are escalators and an elevator. It's conveniently located in the Shops of Farmington. The service was good. Overall, a nice store and I enjoyed shopping there.

We made a quick visit here for some women's clothing and did not explore the entire store, so let's…read morecall this maybe an "interim" review. We like Kohl's in general. They carry good merchandise and their prices are usually quite affordable with abundant sales. We liked the clothes we found, and even one likable dress that wasn't on sale was not priced too high. It's a good sized store, so you'll do some walking to get to the men's and children's sections. There's also a second floor easily reached by escalator or elevator, and you'll find everything here from clothing to electronics, from jewelry to shoes. We did have difficulty find help, however. When we did, they were helpful, but there didn't seem to be a lot of them. There's also a large Sephora store within Kohl's that seems to cater to grown-ups. Lots of parking outside -- a good stop for us at the Shoppes at Farmington Valley.
