Customer service is pretty good. Lots of parking. No AC in the building. That should be a priority to fix for the employees.

They also carry a wide assortment of Raye's Mustard (supposedly the only stone ground mill in America) and gonna try some double "burgermot" (how I like to jokingly pronounce it) tea.

I was talking with my sister and he immediately told us hey girls loudly he told us that and then he goes.

And I'm certified to use knives and I own now for because I bought it the next day because I really wanted it in the other store didn't have it in my name, but he was really rude. When I went in the next day he was there yes but a different guy served me luckily who was really nice and let me exchange my squishy when the skin was peeling off. I recommend not going. I got a sweatshirt and a sweatshirt so if you would like to get something and the other store doesn't have the thing you want then go because the stuff is cute and everything the price was kind of good for the sweatshirt. The pocket knife wasn't too great kind of high. The screwdriver is kind of loose so it has to be very careful and then the squishy was about $10 and the skin was fill off of it so I got to exchange it and they have air bubbles now and a hole in the closet a little, but I can easily fix that but I still just don't recommend going because the owner is really rude

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.

However, we've pleasantly been surprised by some of our clothing purchases and other, random necessities. They have an underrated selection of furniture, primarily couches, chairs, and tables, and I would easily by a few items for my finished basement if I lived closer. If you're a bargain, hunter, and looking for a place that can be a rewarding experience, you should consider a visit to the store.

Their shoe selection wasn't the greatest. I didn't go to the hardware department as I didn't need anything in there. The beauty product selection was skimpy. I've been to the Marden's in Biddeford (twice) & the one in Waterville and out of all 3 I have to say my favorite one is the Biddeford location. A lot of the stuff in here seemed like a lot of junk. No good bag/purse selection, clothes weren't that great & overpriced for a place like this. Their ladies room wasn't up to par either. Don't forget to bring your own bag as they don't have any. The cashier was nice but only after I made conversation with her, she didn't seem to happy to be working there. I only walked out with a couple of things. I definitely wouldn't want to come to this location again & would tell my Mom "let's go to the one in Biddeford!"
