Upon entering this place they were playing Christmas music on a speaker which was for sell. I thought this was cool, but a bit loud. I noticed they had a very cheap sofa on clearance out in the front, it was missing its entire arm, and I thought to myself who would buy something like this? In the store, it reminded me of a thrift store, except with newer stuff and unused. The prices seem to go up and down on items. A lot of their shoes look like they are coming from JC Penny because they are that Ann brand. They seemed way over priced for what they were. On the other hand they had these large washable rugs for your floor for $20. Some of the couches seemed nice and reasonably priced. Then all of the sudden I pick up a candle and it's $20? Why? I will most likely not be back, but it might be worth a trip if you're looking for furniture affordability, read more

Absolutely amazing experience! We came in looking for a couch and left feeling so taken care of. The owner, his wife, and his nephew were incredibly kind and hands-on--helping us load everything into the car without hesitation. On top of that, he even threw in a rug, which was such a generous surprise. When we realized the couch might not fit in our vehicle, the owner immediately offered to help us strap it to the top of our van if we had straps. That level of customer service is rare these days. Truly an awesome guy who clearly cares about his customers. Great prices, great people, and an overall stress-free experience. I will definitely be coming back. Please support this small business--you won't regret it! read more

I got a smokin' deal on a massage chair and couldn't be happier! This is the nicest family-run discount store since the new owners took over. This place is a total gem now, as Clayton area has really needed a better alternative to Heroic down further on Clayton Rd. You can tell the new owners care a lot about the place as it's so much more organized and cleaner than it used to be while keeping the deal bin vibe it used to have. I got such a deal that it led to a total impulse buy, LOL, but I just couldn't say no. I'll definitely come back soon. read more

Excellent! Walked in and saw the exact patio furniture that I had been eyeing on Amazon- but for some reason much cheaper! I will definitely be back! The service was also wonderful (they even carried my furniture to my car). read more

I love stopping by Marini's Discount whenever I'm in Concord. The new team has really turned things around. You can tell they have knowledge and experience in the industry, and they're doing their best to improve the shopping experience. The store feels cleaner, more organized, and much easier to browse now. The staff are friendly and approachable, and I've noticed the shelves are stocked with a great variety--household goods, kitchenware, seasonal items, toys, clothing--all at prices way lower than the big chains. I think some of the bad reviews are probably from people passing through who didn't really see the changes happening. From my experience, things are on the upswing, and it shows every time I visit. If you haven't been in a while, it's definitely worth giving Marini's another try--you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

I love this place. I always look forward going to this place. The new owners cares not only for his store but most specially his guests. The may they organize the stores means alot as it makes it convinient for the guest. I love coming here and i highly recommend this place. Compared to other discount stores. read more

Great experience here. Looked all over town for a massage gun and this was the only place that had one. The owner was very helpful and made sure it was charged before I left as well as gave me an additional discount. read more

Don't mind the signs still up out front from the previous owner, the days are different now. (See pics here.) I spent hours here and found a pile of fun funds for $1 each. Definitely going back. read more

Stay away! The new owners are WORSE than the previous owners. I recently purchased a portable neck fan from one of the Amazon return bins. The guy helping me told me "to hang on to the receipt in case it didn't work." I tried using it when I got home and the back fan was broken. So I took it back, as the man working there had suggested. He was annoyed, but appeared to refund the money back to my credit card. The credit showed as pending on my account the next day so I, (stupidly) threw away the receipts. Big mistake. The credit stayed as pending for another day and then suddenly disappeared. I called my bank and was told the credit had been "reversed," and there was nothing they could do. In general, this place is dirty, disorganized, and just one big mess. The return bins are supposedly Amazon returns but, given the owners' overall sleaziness, I have my doubts. Whatever is in there, it's nothing but junk. Digging through there can be hazardous as there are numerous loose and broken parts that could poke or cut you. If you do find something, please make sure to test it before purchasing. The other items in the store are way over priced for a discount store, particularly the self-care items like lotions, sunscreen, makeup, etc. You can find the same items for cheaper at Grocery Outlet, Walmart, or even at CVS if you have coupons. read more

What a hidden gem! I didn't know what to expect walking into a bin store, but wow -- it's like a treasure hunt every time. You never know what amazing finds are waiting at the bottom of a bin. I've come across everything from kitchen gadgets to brand-name beauty products, all in great condition. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and they keep the store organized and clean -- which makes a huge difference in this type of shopping. Pro tip: go on Fridays -- that's when they restock, and the selection is at its best! If you love a good surprise and don't mind a little digging, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Under New Management! The staff here is very helpful. Lots of cool stuff ! Great prices too!

The selection seems to be worse with the new ownership. It used to be a hit or miss before but now it's seems to really be consistently a miss. The items are really just broken items and the household items are over priced, higher than Ross or Marshals. The staff seems friendly but the inventory is disappointing compared to the previous ownership. read more

Love the attention to the customers. Staff is kind and always offers a fair price and great deals in the bins. They take their time to help us open sealed boxes to make sure we are happy with the product and to make sure there is no broken or missing pieces before we pay. I have never left this store with nothing in hand. They always have something worth making the 40 minute drive for. Super speedy replies on social media also gives me the sense they care about their customers. I will for sure continue to shop here and recommend to all my friends and family. read more

I saw a news article about this place and decided to check it out. When we arrived, we learned that the Saturday deal was $11 for anything in the bin. We quickly learned that, that certainly was not a discount. Most of the items that were in the bin were worth $5 or less. It had clothes, shoes, and other items you could buy at the dollar tree or the dollar section at Target. We saw an item that we liked and asked how much it was and they told us $11. When we made it to the register to pay, one worker said it was $11 and the other worker said "are you sure? Look at this item" and then they changed their mind and said it was $50. We also asked for prices of other items like the AirPods, which cost more than what I could buy at Wal Mart. We showed them the price we found online and they insisted on their price. We also got a mystery box, as the other reviewer mentioned, filled with trash (literally) and empty boxes of nonexistent items. There were other items too, but that's the gamble. Don't waste your time coming here. You could buy items for a comparable price elsewhere new and an option to return to the seller if it is damaged or doesn't work. read more

Scammers and liars. Don't buy anything here. I was assured that the patio umbrella I bought was an unopened item in working condition. Nope. Total lie. Crank handle doesn't work at all. Most likely that's why it's in this place - it's broken! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE. Buyer beware!!!! read more

I love going to Marinis. My best friend lives in Concord and has been bin shopping here for almost 2 years and about 1.5 months ago they got new owners. I stayed at my friend's house for 4 days and 3 of those days we went to Marinis! my friend told me that you can tell the new owners are really trying to fix things up. I even got to speak to her. I suggest you give them a chance. She was sooo nice and working hard to turn it around and get the word out. I got some amazing stuff. Lots of clothes that still have tags. $3 dresses and shirts. Before, you had to dig in the bins for the clothes but now they are all hung up to browse through them easily. I also got a brand new LED face mask for $6 that normally sells on Amazon for over $100. I got a bunch of things for my dog, a light up mirror that also has a side that magnifies for $19. I looked on Amazon and it retails for $40. I got a long parca for $10 that Target had for $60!! They've got great stuff. I took some photos of some cool stuff they have! Brand new Instapot still in original box unopened for $89! I hope this helps. Follow them on IG. They are constantly improving the store. Get to know them! They are good people who care about putting out quality items. read more

Marinis is a great store where you can find great finds from amazon and Target! You never know what great items you will find.

amazing store with such great deals! I've been coming here for a long time and with the change in owners this business has done nothing but flourish!! I find everything from pet supplies, clothes, furniture, supplies for my salon and tons of fun items as well! check it out they have deals 24/7! read more

Unfortunately the 1 star reviews are true. They used to have high quality items when they first opened up. I'm writing this review to warn others that the majority of items in the bins are either broken or have missing parts. There are very few items that are in somewhat good condition. The items on the shelves are not worth the money. My friend bought a speaker from here that didn't even work so you're taking a risk and spending your hard earned money on something that will either work or don't work. read more

They took the best and left the junk to unaware buyers. Not cool. 'Buyer beware' has never been more appropriate.
