It's gone through a change in ownership since my last review. While some of the items have changed, most has remained the same. The inventory has definitely grown and there's not as many "local Maine" items as there was. But it's all high quality, hand picked special things that need to find a home in your house. I just know whomever does the shopping to stock this store, is living their absolute best life when they go out on the hunt to source their products.

Well if this isn't the most charming store!…read more From their website: "Hatch On Maine is a clothing and gift shop offering an assortment of items selected with quality and individuality in mind. We love sourcing handmade and locally made treasures whenever possible. If you're looking for a new outfit, a present for a new baby and young ones alike, or a thoughtful gift for that hard to shop for person we are ready to greet you with a smile!" There's Maine-themed stuff, Maine-made stuff, ocean themed stuff, baby stuff, kitschy stuff, women's clothing, books, bags, candles, mugs, jewelry, and so, so much more. From my limited experience, they also really bring the holidays to life here, so if you were to visit around Easter it would be "dressed-up" differently than if you visited around Halloween. It makes you want to come back because... what seasonal gifties might you find?! A tiny chick-still-in-the-shell stuffed animal or an adorable bat print onesie? Depends on when you come. When I first came it was just to browse (I get the sense that if you wanted to visit, and reeeeaaaaally take your time just looking around, that would be totally okay!), but ended up buying 1) a really sturdy metal hair clip (that I was promised wouldn't break like all the plastic ones do) in white pearlescent and gold, and 2) *the cutest* retro, 90's-like, multi-strand necklace in pink cord, gold chain, and little cubes. Hard to describe, but it gives Taylor Swift Friendship Bracelet vibes. This warm and inviting place is one you really have to come see for yourself. Say hi to owner Hannah, she's positively lovely!

Marden's has been a Maine staple for such a long time. If you grew up in Maine or been here long…read moreenough you likely have heard or seen their famous jingle and/or could even remember the "Marden's Lady". Over the years I have visited quite a large portion of the Marden's stores. I will say I believe this is one of the better locations and one of the largest I think. For selection I would say this location has such a huge variety of everything you could imagine plus so many items you wouldn't expect! You will go in looking to buy say a pair of socks or a rug and wind up walking out with a hammer, garden hose, snacks, and who knows what else. Along with the variety you can definitely find deals that are cheaper than anywhere else. I've found you can find some of the best deals on clothing here. Some other items are just worth passing on though oppositely. Have had no major complaints service wise here at all. Friendly staff although checking out may be a bit slower at times. Despite this and the fact some items really aren't worth buying overall a great store to stop at and browse for some good deals!

The stock rotates constantly and there are always people there scouring for store for deals, whether they are buying for themselves or buying to resell. The store is as organized as they can get it, with things changing over so much, they pretty much just organize by the percentage of discount (center of the store) or by the typical "department store categories" The staff seemed to be ok. Very busy and focused - on products or moving customers through the lines efficiently. They definitely were all working hard from what I could see. The parking lot is always 3/4 full.

My wife and I needed to waste some time before another spot opened nearby and we decided to swing in. I will say they had some large name brand items that appeared to be cheaper than other places offer them. Although I do think part of the issue with here and other similar stores is the fact a lot of items are more or less junk in reality once you look past the commonly known brands. To their credit the store was well organized and offered a large variety of items ranging from houseware, clothes, seasonal items even some Christmas and Halloween stuff still. Was surprising that Halloween stuff was only discounted by 50% off considering how long it's been since the holiday. Service check out wise was quick and friendly. If you search around I think you can find some good deals but a lot of it seems questionable quality wise even at the "discounted" prices. As a lifelong Mainer I think I'd be quicker to return to Marden's than Ocean State. In the end, not too bad for a quick browse to waste some time.

It is surprising we haven't been here despite being on exchange street so many times. Some of the items in the window were what caught my wife's attention and brought us in the door. The staff were friendly and even asked my wife if she already had a spot picked out to place it for the raven book decor she was buying. Then went on to say it's a recent item to arrive and has been tempted to get for themselves too. This store has quite a selection of items, with a good amount of seasonal items currently with plenty of Halloween/fall things. They have clothing, crystals, incenses, and lots of nature inspired items. You'll see lots of mushrooms, plants, butterflies, skulls to give some examples. Prices did seem very reasonable for the most part. Overall the vibes here are an overall nice and inviting shop with items marketed towards open minded free spirited people. We will definitely return, my wife would buy many items from here! Check it out if you are walking around shopping at all nearby stores.
