    I have a 2 1/2 year-old son who has very wide feet and it's been so challenging to size him. After…read moregoing to multiple shoe stores and order online,leading to many returns, we took the drive over after seeing the good reviews online. We were not disappointed! It was welcoming with very attentive service. They were willing to try on as many shoes as I wanted for my son to practice in and see how he walked. You could really tell how much they care about their customers and it was nice chatting with them about their own family members and grandkids regarding the shoes that they like to wear. It helped in making my decision for my son. I 100% recommend going here not just for your child, but for your own shoe needs. For a smaller store, the selection was wonderful. They had a lot of brands that I knew and some brands I didn't that felt great on my son's foot. I don't look forward to his feet growing, but I do look forward to taking a trip back to purchase his next set when the time comes.

    Very great service, went to pick out my daughter's first sneakers- he was very attentive!

We got a pair of kids sneakers, washable, $65.

    I've wanted to write this review for some time now but was hesitant because I LOVE MARCOS and I…read moredon't want to appear like I'm bashing the place. I'm writing this in hopes that the owner will read it and perhaps consider making some changes. I was born in 1971 and raised in Pequannock so of course Marcos was a huge part of my childhood. That being said, the interrior of the store is not much different than it was when I was a child. I'm a sucker for nostalgia and I love everything retro but...all the miss matched grungy utility mats on the floor are sad. The tattered old ugly awnings on the outside are sad. The boring window displays are sad. The woman who works behind the counter is sad and not very friendly. You work in a toy store for crying out loud It's not The Gulog! The staff in general is just MEH and don't seem very interested in helping anyone. I'm a huge advocate of supporting local business so paying a bit more is fine by me. I do all my toy and gift shopping here and I stop in when I need a break from the cruel hard world. I walk the isles and reminisce about a simpler place in time when I had not a single care in the world. I leave with a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. I don't want the place to change per se it just needs a few tweaks here and there. Fix up the outside for a more pleasing and welcoming appearance. Dress up the window displays for the seasons. Replace the darn awnings for crying out loud. Don't change the sign because it's a staple, just fix it up a little. Zhuzh the place up! Your business would improve if the overall experience was happier, more pleasing and inviting. How about introducing some kid friendly experiences like a story time, Lego and Barbie workshops, craft workshops use your imagination! You have the space if you just rearranged a little. You're smack dab in the middle of a wealthy town, people will come and they will pay. Give people a reason to shop there instead of at Amazon or the big box stores. All the long time residents have wonderful memories of Marcos and I'm sure they would love to see a facelift! We all have memories of riding bikes to Marcos with a few bucks in our pockets to find some necessary treasure. Heck, I'll do your window displays for FREE If you want! Every time I drive by or come in to the store I have a million ideas as to how it could be improved. I always say "if I owned that store I'd do this or I'd do that". I say this all with LOVE and I LOVE this store so much and I wish you many many more years of succes!

    Marco's emporium is a kids dream!…read more What is your little into? Superheroes? They've got marvel and DC. Barbie? So many pink boxes and accessories for dayyyys. Plus plus? So many versions, so fun fun. Hot Wheels? There are cars in every color of the rainbow. Legos? There is a giant glorious aisle of allllllll the Lego sets. Seriously, so many it'll take you 30 mins to look at all the options Dinosaurs. Roar! Sports? Basketball. Baseball. Kickball. Tennis. Check check check. Koosh! Remember koosh balls?! Yup, they've got them. Plus Paw patrol. Bluey. Ms Rachel. Little People. And a ton of educational toys. Oh and a huuuge selection of plush lovies of every kind: chickens, cows, alligators, bears. Tiger. Narwhal. Puppy. Flamingo. Hedgehog. Koala. Walrus. Looking for a way to entertain your toddler? Bring them to this part of the store and listen to them call out each animal/character. Prices I think are on par for what you would pay at any other *non*-big-box store.. and I've never seen anything 'on sale' but I think the selection of items is a big deal. There is a ton in Marco's that I've never seen in those aformentioned big-box-stores. Bonus: for the grownups - there is a section of gifts, cards, ornaments, painted wine glasses, foods/candy, etc. The seasonal section when you walk in the store is always so good. You really could just get lost in this store - there's so much stuff. Kept back a star bc for the few/random times I've been in the store (and another reviewer mentions this too) no one has ever come up to ask if I needed help finding anything. It's not a big deal.. but the staff is always just at the front desk/counter, so I guess I know where to go IF I did need help.. The couple of times I did interact at the counter the staff was very eh. Not super engaging.. which seems strange/slightly sad for a store stocked with 75% toys. The lack of engagement is something I'm willing to overlook bc the stock/variety and volume of toys is just so good.
