Marshall’s Department Store

Walked up at 9:45 PM to stop in for 15 minutes before they were scheduled to close. I paid to park my car and got to the doors to find them locked. If you say you close at 10, then close at 10. If you like to close at 9:45, then please state that you close at 9:45. Who’s decision is it to close early? Sounds like poor management or lazy employees to me.

Bought a pair of gym tights without trying each on, one of them was way too small. They were kindly okay to change it even though I lost my receipt, great customer service guys!

I know this place is cheap, but that’s about it. The layout is 1970’s Kmart linoleum floors and clothes racks all over the place. Nothing special about the selection. Only go if you really really don’t want to spend a lot.

I was so happy to see Marshall’s in Baltimore since I recently moved from Bel Air. I can’t help but compare the two locations. I know this one is still new but I so hope that they start filling their shelves as time goes by. The shoe section is not as full and neither is the kitchen section. They do have great deals on great brands, including clothing. I like to get my workout gear from here since its marked down so much. Even though this location is small, I can still get lost in there.

If you’ve ever been to other Marshall’s locations, this one isn’t really that different; the shelves are a lot more organized than the ones in the suburbs, but give it time — it’s brand new here and it hasn’t been discovered yet by fierce shopping fiends such as myself. Well, until now, anyway.
This location is above the Panera and Fogo de Chao in the Lockwood Place building (where Filene’s Basement used to be and underneath where Best Buy once was). It’s a good location; it stocks a lot of name brands at dirt-​cheap prices, and if you love shoes? Honey, you’re in heaven here — they have whey call a «Mega Shoe Shop», and do they ever. It makes Famous Footwear downstairs look positively tiny.
I loved Filene’s Basement and went there quite often for my work clothes, but Marshall’s looks to be a good replacement. Enjoy this location while it’s still well organized and clean, because once it’s well known… the bargains will be here, but the organization won’t be! (Not that this is a bad thing — it isn’t. Think of it as a fun treasure hunt. You WILL find deals at places like this if you look hard enough.)
Happy shopping. :D
