Just left Kennedy department store where I purchase 3 laundry bags. The cashier was so horrible no customer service skills. No manners. She took another customer in front of me never saying anything to me considering I was on line waiting before this customer. I am trying to be the better person and not think because this woman was Hispanic and I am black and she Hispanic felt it was ok. Please Kennedy management send her for some Customer Service training, I happen to be a customer service supervisor and it is most important that customers receive the best customer service possible. Thank you for reading. This review in order to keep your neighborhood store operational. read more

Well, this reminds me of a slightly larger version of the local hardware/home supply shop with a bunch of clothing tacked on. I guess the other comparison is like a micro version of a Walmart, just more expensive in every way. There's some clothing here for the local residents to peruse through, but I'd recommend getting your home supplies elsewheres - it's 20-30% more expensive than at the Targets within a mile or so of here. If you have no where else to go, you have no choice, I suppose, and you can find everything from storage, mops, cookware, microwaves, clothing, soap, and more here. The cashier's in the far back, by the way. Street parking is free Sundays and after 6p all other days. read more

This place has it all! Definitely the best of the discount stores on Central Ave. I use it for kitchen stuff mostly, but they also have a good selection of bathroom stuff and some hardwhere. Good example, the felt furniture strips you put on your furniture so you don't scratch your floors; get them here and not at home depot or target and you'll save a lot. I disagree with Hank C. about Target being cheaper, and I love me some Target. I think their kitchen stuff is nicer and better quality (so perhaps it's worth it), but Kennedy's is always cheaper for stuff like that. read more

Kennedy Department Store - After Hurricane Sandy - Department Stores Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I absolutely love this store! I recently bought a beautiful espresso colored dresser which was reasonably priced and is of excellent quality! This store has everything I need for my household and everything is priced so well. Definitely check out this store if you're ever in the neighborhood, I highly recommend it. And Priya is an excellent help and knows so much about this department store! read more

I just want to tell the store owner and/or manager that your store greeter, who checks the bags when customers enter the store, Danny, is the friendliest, most helpful person I've ever encountered going into a store-- and at 77 yrs old, I've shopped at literally thousands over a lifetime! He's a real keeper, and I hope you appreciate his terrific personality-he really stands out. (oh, and by the way, I am NOT a relative of his, nor a friend trying to say nice things! LOL!) And your store is a fun place to find really good, low priced items, too.... read more

How do you have a 10 minimum at a department store like it's a restaurant or corner store. Bye

Their register personnel needs improvement with a higher level of intelligence and attention to customer service.

I bought a two door clothing closet yesterday from Kennedy. I asked for it to be delivered, setup and remove the old one. The delivery guys showed up, and took apart the old one, wrapped it and put it in the basement. They were fast, and did a great job. So, of course I gave them an extra tip. Thanks guys for a job well done. read more

This place rocks! I got my curtains, bedspreads, wall decorations and much more here. If you can't afford that pricey home decorative look, this is the place for you. You actually find stuff here that looks expensive, but is very affordable. I love this place! As for the clothing, there are times you will find something nice, but its not the place to get stylish clothes. If you go there go for the home decorations and up keep. read more

My favoirte go to place for house accessories and at a fantastic price let me tell you. This place makes me not miss Brooklyn because I save so much money. read more

Great store to shop for household items, the employees are friendly and helpful especially Priya.

I LOVE THIS STORE....I find all my needs for the home and more. It reminds me of Bed Bath and Beyond less the high price tags. If you ask the staff they are happy to help you find what you need. Thanks Kennedy. Jill read more

Love Love Love this store! They have all the household items i need way cheaper than the big box chains. highly recommended read more

So!!! I just bought a house in Bayonne and was shopping for new furniture. Went to Kennedy in Central Ave but left with nothing. Their services are below 0. I went to the basement and saw multiple catalogs and furnitures that I wanted; little did I know that my money wasn't valuable to them. A guy came to help me, he seemed very nice at first but, was very discouraging at the end. Nothing was available and he didn't show any effort in helping me getting what I desired. During that time an employee came to tell him that they were calling him at the register.... he got a fit and used the F word and left me there waiting ....I just returned all the curtains that I had purchased like an hour before and left to spend over $6000 in furniture at Value City. Kennedy, you guys need better customer service! read more

This store has many household items at a good price. Furniture it also available not high end but descend. Curtains for the home and bathroom I will recommend. I usually shop around before settling and believe me their prices are very good. read more

So, I loved Kennedy, I did. I will still occasionally go there for things. My husband and I decided to buy a "Woodpeckers" wardrobe there. It looked good and the quality of press board furniture was really really good for the price. We were guaranteed that the quality was good. When we got home, all the pieces were busted and there were even pieces that were completely different finishes (white with the rest of the closet being black) and holes drilled completely wrong in the pieces that needed to be assembled together. Nothing lined up. We came back with our reciept and they refused to return it. Said that once we bought it we were on our own. They guy that sold it to us and kept saying it was made in the USA. As if made in the USA automatically meant it was quality and there couldn't possibly be anything wrong. We contacted the company and they sent us replacement pieces 3 TIMES and it was STILL wrong. So basically, I lit a match to 200.00 when I bought something from Kennedy because they were unwilling to help us, even when the vendor was incompetent. No closet. Still searching for another one. Their customer service needs to be better if they're selling junk parts. read more

I love this store, lots of variety, EXCELLENT PRICES, staff is nice. Huge Store. I must admit you can find GREAT DEALS HERE. Highly recommended! read more

As a local shopper I am so very pleased that Kennedy Department Store is still a staple in the neighborhood. I can alwasy find what I'm looking for. The staff is very helpful and they even hire senior citizens which completes the neightborhood warmth. I do however wish they could move the lines faster and not divided the customers based on Credit cards or cash. I have walked out on several occasions because of the long lines. But I'm always looking forwartd to returning. They do a great job , price wise and quality. read more
