Marshall’s Dept Store

Love, love, love Marshall’s! My DH laughs at me because when I go to price chopper next door I always stop in here before hand… I always find things I like as gifts for my kids, grand kids, & family members at discounted prices. They have a nice shoe department and housewares department too. I wish the store was bigger. They have a larger store in Clifton Park and another in Colonie that I occasionally go to and enjoy but it is further away then this one here in my town. I probably go to this store at least 3 — 4 times a month!

This is a standard-​issue Marshall’s, which is to say it’s the Ocean State Job Lot of cast-​off clothing and a few miscellaneous odds and ends, everything cheap but the stock quite unpredictable. Some major pluses for this particular location though: unlike EVERY other Marshall’s I’ve been in, and I do mean every one (maybe a dozen over the years) this one was very neatly kept without stock being flung everywhere. Only a few things were out of place. Maybe I just went on a good day, but that makes it a little more attractive to come back to. And the staff were actually pretty perky, not at all like the usual «I hate this job and can’t wait to be out of here» vibe I’ve gotten at other Marshall’s and similar locations.
I still can’t take Marshall’s above a three star rating because of the so truly random nature of the store that makes it difficult to shop at – it’s closer to a thrift store with new stuff instead of used than anything else I can think of – but top marks for this location in its category and perhaps the promise of a fourth star in the future if some miracle bargain befalls me on a future visit.

This is a fairly good marshalls, although there is a huge one in clifton park which makes for a hard comparison. I’ve found a lot of things that I like at this Marshalls, it has a really good shoe selection for both women and men, and has a great selection of home décor. I’d say for a smaller marshalls it really has the top of the cake for most things. I don’t really enjoy the bag selection here, I’ve never found anything I was really that interested in, although last time I went they did have more expensive numbers that were appealing.
Its usually very clean, and the staff is always very helpful if needed. Check out’s never take a long time. It’s definitely worth a stop in if your a bargin shopper.
