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!

There is soooo much here. If you see something you want and you think you might want or need it,…read morejust buy it. 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.

The way she was acting was horrifying and definitely NOT NORMAL! She had an evil look in her face! I have never seen anything like it! She didn't know what she was doing and she got frustrated and acted like a lunatic towards me! And that's when I called for a manager. For this reason, I am cancelling my credit card and will avoid going to this place in the future. What a horrible experience that was!!! I really want to rate this place a big fat ZERO!!!

I love costco, ive had a membership in 4 different states and i think it is completely worth it and…read morei save a lot of money with it. That being said theres a few things that are uniquely and insanely annoying about every location. #1 there isnt a good boxing station. I do like that they use boxes, it makes a lot of sense, however theres not a good place to accomplish the task of putting everything into a box. So youre using like the picnic eating tables or an empty register to do it and youre always in the way. #2 the location of the bathroom is so insanely frustrating. It is ALWAYS beyond the checkout and with no clear path to/from it. So if you have to use the restroom before checkout it is such a process and so inefficient because youre having to go through the open checkout aisles. #3 no aisle labels + the location of where things are and what they carry is constantly changing. They have an amazing selection but it is not consistent at all. #4 the location of the carts is on the other side of where you come in, so the traffic leaving the out doors is always clashing with the traffic arriving to the in doors. They should put the bulk of carts on the side of the in door. Otherwise i love Costco, but these are systematic things that just make no sense that to me would be pretty simple to fix when they open new stores but the issues are always the same.

Getting a Costco in Maine has been an entirely new ballgame for us. Financially, I don't know if…read moreshopping here saves us any money because we buy literally everything we never knew we always needed (appliances, housewares, dog toys, clothing, snacks, outdoor games, electronics, gift cards, travel, and the list goes on). But, for the things we buy that are on our list, it's always a great deal. Favorite Costco (Kirkland) items: frozen chicken chunks and paper towels. I'm a Bounty girl but these paper towels are on another level. To review the specific warehouse: *it's insanely busy all the time, just as other warehouses we've been to *despite the busy-ness, it still feels clean and organized (not organized as in it makes sense because nothing about the layout makes sense) *people are vultures for the free samples. If you want to actually try something, get in line early *they move their stock around frequently. You can't look in the same place 2 weeks in a row because it likely moved *every employee we've encountered has been super friendly and helpful *not only do we get our dog meds at a massive discount but the pharmacist is so friendly! I am definitely a Costco junkie ;) Costco itself gets a 10/10.

This branch doesn't seem as busy as the one we went to in Florida, or perhaps even as busy as this…read morelocation used to be. That includes the gas pumps as well. I guess that is good for me but maybe not so good for them. Otherwise the store is very similar to what I am used to as far as selection and service. If you are familiar with them and are considering whether to become a member, the plus is that you can save a lot of money on some items, but not all. Back in Florida some items were less expensive at Aldi's;'s, but there are no Aldi's here in Maine. SO what we buy here easily pays more than the cost of membership. The gas is cheaper than most stations, though a station right down the street tries to compete with it, Not much more to say than that.

Plus, you have to move the carts out of the way to try to reach the items you want.. I came in with a list of 30 items I buy at DT on my regular basis. Only came aways from with a few items. Very dissapointing! The freezer is only half stocked. Forget the front left area to the left front entry. Usually, that's the seasonal promotion. Not sure what was going on there. Was it leftover Easter,? Seasonal graduation? Memorial day? Forth of July? That area was so barren-... I'm not sure what was happening. I only encountered 1 employee- the cashier, an older, intelligent woman, who was very nice.

I went to the dollar tree for a bag of dog food. They put a $6.50 bag in the $1.50 one. So when the…read moretotal was almost $7, money I don't have at the moment, I said oh that was in the $1.50 section, my bad I'll get the other one. The lady (old, white and disabled) scoffs/laughs and says no it's $6.50. I say again, it's ok I'm going to get the other one. Since I'm going back there, I pick up the bag to put it back, like I've done numerous times here and at other stores. Whenever the employee isn't comfortable with me put it back they say something along the lines of "I don't have to return it, the manager/employee will do it". She snatches the bag from me and says no I have to call the manager for that. I instinctively put my hands up showing I have money on me ready to pay and nothing else, I didn't even have my bag on me. I tell her I was just going to put it back for them and walked back towards the pet section . It was when she called for the manager to her register that I truly felt disrespected and wrongly treated. I left the store while saying to myself that its ridiculous that I was treated like I was trying to steal a bag of dog food, especially when Im in a pretty tight fitted pj outfit, thin jacket and no bags. I got to my car and started crying because she treated and looked at me like someone I'm not, a thief or criminal. She has always given me an attitude and I never understood why, I've been nothing but polite to her and the staff. I'm still polite to the staff and I try to be polite to her too but she continues to be disrespectful and extremely unpleasant. Now I'm left thinking that she is prejudiced and doesn't like me because of my race/ethnicity. It was really hurtful and I'm never going back to this dollar tree until she's gone.

I was starting to give up until I saw the sign for Folsoms furniture and thought, why not give it a try. I'm so glad I did because the store carried quality products, all made in the U.S. and the owner, John Folsom, had extensive knowledge on each piece. The store has been in his family since it was started by his great grandfather and it's obvious he takes immense pride in the business. His prices are very reasonable and the customer service was excellent! I highly recommend Folsoms furniture.

We haven't had to interact much with the staff, because we use self checkout, however, you can see them working hard, stocking cleaning and filling orders. The location is kind of on a chaotic corner, but the store is easy to find. The parking lot has plenty of parking in the front and side of the building. The clink bottle/can return bins are always available. We have never found it to be overflowing. We don't mind shopping here when we are in the area. I never hesitate to stop if we need to.
