Should have bought it. . . No I shouldn’t but I do and that’s what makes mardens great. All you need and all you don’t need but buy anyway, because it’s such a great price.
Bought 3 pairs of earrings originally $16.00 marked down to $10.00 and marked down again to 99 cents. Tiny pumpkin earrings, tiny acorn one and tiny maple leaf earrings.
Love this Mardens.
While it's definitely small compared to Scarborough , Sanford, And Lewiston, the Staff is always friendly, and you can find some amazing deals any day of the week
It's so wonderful to see the gray store looking so clean and organized! I stopped going because it was so messy, and now, it's a place I'll go back to because it's looking so much better than it ever has!
It's always so unorganized. I realize its an outlet type store but if they just cleaned it up a bit ot may come to customers minds more often.
You can find unique things there and prices are not so bad.
I always love a good Mardens deal. The Gray store is smaller but has a good selection of tools. It is one of the last small town stores left. My wife and I went in to return some pants last night. She said “I’d like to return these”, the kid working just replied “return or exchange” and the people working there acted like they were annoyed they had customers at 5:30 (half hour before closing). She said whatever is easier on the return even though she had already specified, no big deal.
She was patient, even apologizing to the people in line with blank stares. The employee had trouble counting change. She was patient, said to the older worker maybe it’s generational?. The woman working got mad and blamed the register instead of empathizing. All this for an $8 pair of pants..jeez.
Not a great experience which is kind of sad because they are usually so friendly at Mardens. Maybe it was a one off but left a bad taste.
Shopped here once. There were lots of bargains and a good selection of tools / hardware. Prices were VERY reasonable and staff was helpful and knowledgeable.
Shelves were being restocked while I was there. This is a well supplied discount store.
If I'm in the area again Ill stop in to browse.
I am sure there are some good buys to be had here and there depending on stock but walking around yesterday I found the majority of shelf items were priced similarly to most stores, and higher than sale prices are often at these other stores. I think they were more of a discount store in the past but their popularity seems to have allowed them to shift to less discounts overall.
Yes prices have risen everywhere, but Marden's is still by far a good place to shop. Fabric prices have been sad for me as that is my favorite department. Although, Prices are still lower than specialty fabric stores. Now I have to shop and compare. BUT what they say is true ..I should have bought it when I saw it at Marden's!!!!
Is great place to get work closed. Prices are cheap and the selection is pretty good. It's definitely a lot better than a dollar store.But the prices are very similar.
As they say, I should've got it when I saw it. My lucky day for cat litter! When back for more and yup gone. Part of the fun is you never know what you'll find from 1 store to the other. Always fun!
There is a girl in their named Wendy she was amazing. Greeting people and dogs and children the way it should be. Not just all business not to mention she helps you find things. This is what small hometown comfort should look and feel like she went out of her way!
Great deals always. Bought Fiskar brand garden tools at a minimum of 50% off each item. Great variety each location. This one could have better lighting
Whether it gets five stars or one star depends on what you are looking.for.
Mardens is a surplus outlet.and has great stuff sometimes and nothing you want other times. But if you see something you want, buy it.then because it won't be there later...
Love this store! I was able to find the matching scarf to my coat that I wasn't able to find anywhere else I had looked prior to this store! I love their winter selection and my man, of course always scopes out the tool room...is what I call it ??♀️? ty for being awesome for so many random things that we cant always find elsewhere...this is the place to go for many things in many categories, they have so much inventory it's amazing!
Love this place. You never know what you will find at a drastically discounted price. Name brand clothes at a fraction of the original price. I bought a $27.00 hanging Petunia plant for only $11.00. Big and beautiful.
You can get great deals or pay too much. Its salvage so you need to know your prices and evaluate what it has been thru to show up there for sale.
Fun place with real bargains. Just keep your eyes open.
This location is smaller than the South Portland and Lewiston locations, but still has the good quality goods for cheap prices. However, there are some rude employees. If you don't like your job, definitely don't work in customer service.
