Stopped by the Macy's Clearance Center in East Brunswick, NJ and was seriously impressed. The deals…read moreare outstanding -- racks and racks of brand names at prices that make you do a double take. If you're willing to browse a bit, you'll absolutely score. The store was organized for a clearance center, staff was helpful when needed, (was assisted at fitting area and walked to Men's room by a staff member); checkout was smooth. Found amazing discounts on clothing and accessories that would've cost so much more at regular retail. If you love a good bargain and the thrill of the hunt, this place is a good stop!

It is what it is. A mishmash of remnant clothing that went unsold in their frontline stores…read more Merchandise is certainly strewn with sizes mixed in making this last chance saloon very much of a needle in a haystack mission. If you've got the time and a little elbow grease, have at it, you might find something. The scary thing is, it's only marginally messier than your typical Macy's. Maybe therein lies the problem for the entire chain.

Dogs must be leashed, and of course, be respectful of merchandise and be sure to take your pup outside for bathroom breaks. The mall is small enough to easily go outside to the parking lot. Individual stores have their own policies, so check with a staff member before you go in. We stopped by to get lunch and enjoyed the outdoor patios of both The Twisted Crab and Bar Louie. We popped into GameStop, Bath & Body Works, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, and Panera Bread has an outdoor patio for the pups! In addition to shopping at some great stores and eating at some nice restaurants, you can use the mall as a convenient place to take your dog for an indoor walk. The mall hosts events too, so take a look at their website/social media for current happenings.

Macys and JCPenney are magically still around as the anchors. There are some stores, but nothing really to keep you coming back here. I mean, unless Express Factory Store is your forte. I'm not sure what will save the mall at this point, but it seems like some restaurants are keeping afloat here. There's a Panera, a Bar Louie, a Barnes and Noble, Red Robin..... The location is kinda tough. Just a lot of traffic, so it's a bit of a pain for someone like me to get there. In the same amount of time I spend on Route 18, I could easily be at Menlo Park Pall or even Quaker Bridge Mall.

However, the idea of stores is unique…read more There is a HomeGoods, Mandee, Torrid, David's Brida, Pier 1, Smashburger, Plays Bowls, and Hand and Stone. This shopping center mostly has feminine stores, as you can tell from the list that I made. I've been inside HomeGoods, but never inside Pier 1. I can never find anything I like at HomeGoods, so there's really not much for me to be desired. There's also a Five Below, which I can never find anything as well. Good variety for women, not really for men.

I also defy anyone to distinguish the 1980 version of JC Penney from the current one. For years, I've been reading about their "comeback" and umpteenth brand revitalizations while the store looks more and more like a Sears wannabe during the last days of Pompeii. Come on fellas buy a can of paint and sweep out those cobwebs. While I'm waiting for Godot, I'll content myself with an entirely new winter wardrobe at 1980 prices but wonder how much longer this legacy retailer can hang on. Four stars for the bargains.

The fact is, malls are dying. Keeping a legacy store open like Penneys requires a lot of gumption - and a little less inventory to make it work. I usually have great luck shopping their site and having it delivered free to the store for pickup, fwiw. Still, it was The Night Before A Trip and we needed odds and ends and Penneys in-store shopping came through bigly. My mom got a super cute plus size puffer coat - we LOVE when stores carry plus sizes in store. And I got a pair of silver loafers that are show stoppers. $24 versus the $100+ other retailers were charging. And in true anachronistic fashion, my mom also picked up a pair of black tights - plus size at that. Kind of incredible honestly. I'm not mad at it. The employees were super nice, too.

I asked the manager to order them for me, expecting a follow up on cost, delivery date, etc. instead I received the run around where he wasn't available to take a call or return one and was finally told that they were ordered and coming in shortly. I then received a call that the items I wanted were being discontinued and I could browse other items they received instead. A quick call to the manufacturer dispelled this as a lie- the pants were regular stock items and available in the size/style/color that I wanted. Seriously folks?!?

This location is located in a great location with an accessible parking. We mainly shop here for board games or little toys that we could get for ourselves or for the kids in the family. You get the same quality of items that you would get somewhere else too, probably for a higher price. There's so much of variety of budget items right from games, sports, toys, electronics, garden items to clothes. The staff are kind and you can never walk out disappointed.

However, this place does not cut for me. I find the staff okay, but may be friendly if you talk to them in their language.

The store though does not have anything that I'll need desperately. I can find all that stuff at Dollar Tree. It's not a clean store, but neither is the mall that the store is inside.
