Upon entering from the mall entrance, I was met with a purple Frankenstein Hello Kitty, which by the way, I've been on the hunt for! I was very close to purchasing it but I noticed it had some flaws, so I didn't end up going home with it. This location has a lot of inventory, noticeably more than many other locations. If only this one wasn't so far out of the way for me, or I would totally come here often. Free parking & sales associates were very kind + sweet!

I only read this and maybe because it's getting all things from different brands but if you have…read morethem all from really nice brands, you get really good things but sadly people break into a lot of stuff because it's so cheap to actually expensive in real life like an $80 thing, but there is only two like that's crazy and they do that here And I don't love it so much because it's just like why are people breaking into the items I know they're cheap but they're like so good if they're not open they're broken that happens a lot. Maybe when you find those things but you find the good things that are like on lockdown TV purses necklaces jewelry you'll really get the best things there because it's cheap, but it's good brand

I was a manager here (Burlington & Belmont- RIP because Belmont just closed down), and my my my, it wasn't easy or fun. I applaud the associates here because everyone is very friendly. I know they'd rather be with their loved ones on a lovely weekend, but they're stuck here- mainly because we all need money to survive. The selection of merchandise seems ok. I mainly just pass by or shop the cold weather in the winter. One plus for working at Macy's is the deep discount you get and being able to use the employee discount at Bloomingdale's.

I was informed that they are never supplied with the "GWP" products at the Saugus location by the fragrance counter associates. Never wasting my time or money at Macy's again. Lesson learned.

stopped into Kohl's today to use their "convenient" Amazon return service and had a very…read morefrustrating experience. They were apparently short-staffed, so they simply closed the Amazon returns counter and put a sign there saying it was unavailable. The problem is there were no signs at the entrance or on the windows letting customers know before walking in. I had to carry all of my return items through the entire store only to find out the service was closed once I got to the back. If a major service like Amazon returns is unavailable, customers should be informed before entering the store. This was poorly handled and a complete waste of time. Kohl's needs to do a much better job communicating with customers.

I shop there when I need candles - they have a great selection of quality candles. But every…read moresingle time I go, weekdays or weekends, there are long, long lines at checkout with only two cashiers on. And today the cashiers also had to answer the constantly ringing phone! It's a shame, really, for one of the last remaining brick and mortar department stores to treat customers this way.

We made a reservation to take pictures with Santa on Christmas Eve and had the absolute worse…read morecustomer service and experience. We made our reservation for 1:45pm and arrived around 1:20pm. The photographer Amanda asked us what time our appointment was and when we told her she barked back that we were late. Mind you there was another dad in line with his 6month old with a 1:45pm time slot as well. She took him and his pictures. When she returned she asked us again what time our appointment was and we told her 1:45pm she looked past us and asked the next 2 parties behind us their time and they where 1:30pm and 1:15pm. She took them without acknowledging our reservation. When she came back she told us they ran out of time and we couldn't take pictures. She could not explain why she skipped us when we were on time for our reservation. She said to take it up with corporate but would not give us any number or who to contact. She yelled at us and berated us for waiting until Christmas Eve to take pictures. We had 4 small children and the grandparents with us. The kids were crying after her interaction with us. She called security over and we explained the situation to the officer and they told us she would take our pictures when they returned from break. She made us wait over an hour after our reservation to take our pictures. We made sure we were first in line for our pictures and after returning from break she skipped us again and took another party in line behind us. We reminded her that was not what was discussed with security and that she said she would take our picture after they returned. By the time she took our picture the kids were tired and the baby was crying and not cooperating. It hard to not feel discriminated after our interaction with Amanda. She pulled People behind us who were not people of color and when watching her interaction she is not friendly at all. We get it's the holidays and it's busy but that's why we made our reservation and arrived on time because we respect peoples time. But to be mistreated with the children and grandparent with no explanation or apology feels very targeted. Amanda Gallagher the photographer was unprofessional, racist and a horribly incomplete person.

Man, I can't remember the last time I went to Square One Mall... it's definitely been a whileee!…read moreCame here to check out the Gatcha claw machine store and it was seriously like a blast from the past, walking through memory lane inside. Many parts of the mall looked like it was stuck in the early 2000s & it was sad to see how vacant this mall became. There's really not much left here, besides the large TJMaxx, Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, & Macy's. All the stores looked very outdated, with the exception of the TJMaxx... that was the only store that seemed to have all the stuff you would normally find at other locations. Hopefully more stores are on their way & turn this mall around.

What can you say about Northgate Shopping Plaza???…read more Being a Revere Guy, Northgate has always been my go to place for shopping. It was there before all the fancy malls were around. So it has a special place in my heart, or it's just a bad habit acquired over the past 35 years?? Either way Northgate has evolved quite a bit since the 80's. Northgate now houses a lot of stores including 2 supermarkets, a gym, McDonalds, Taco Bell, a few anchor stores and much much more. The parking lot is extremely large with more than enough spots for everyone even on the busiest of shopping days. This is a one stop eat, bank and shop stop. I give Northgate Shopping Plaza a Solid 4 Stars

I found out this store about a decade ago. it's a well kept secret even though it's a huge building…read moreon route one in Saugus right next-door to Kowloons. They even have a driveway that connects both parking lots so I usually exit Kowloons exit rather than Ocean States. After finding a parking spot, you have to check out potted plants, and seasonal goods in front of the building. If you want to purchase some, you have to bring them inside purchase. Once inside the building, it's almost like a maze. There's so many different ways you can go through this building. Suggest you plan to explore. They have something for everybody everybody. Basically they have everything you could possibly think of under one roof. Linens, garden accessories, clothing, food, house, supplies, even rugs. For me, I head right over to the food section. I have a lot of fun here. As a foodie, they have all kinds of different specialty foods mostly from around New England, but some from the world. I enjoy reading packages that I've never seen before some healthy some not. They have some nice healthy organic items mixed in with miscellaneous therapy, sugary salty items. I tend to buy a lot of my canned fish here. They have kippers, herring, tuna and sardines, all in good virgin olive oil water no additives. I stock up on these as they are an excellent value. A few other products that I usually purchase while I'm here I'll be organic pastas made from vegetables. Also some of the tomato sauces and marinades excellent selection available. Be prepared to stand in line as they only have a few clerks one or two open at a time even when the store is busy. Please don't complain because I believe this is what keeps the pricing low. Kudos to Ocean State for self checkouts. I applaud this. As for cleanliness, it's probably a five on a 10 star scale. When you go here, just assume you're shopping in basically a big warehouse. Employee wise the clerks and managers always seem to have a pretty good attitude here I've spoke to a few of them and they seem very nice always polite willing to help the customer. I've only had interaction with them at a cash register, but they all seem pleasant to me. A bonus make sure you sign up for that emails because they have what they call crazy deals. This is huge people. They have special items when you purchase them they give you the same or a dollar value back on a card. if you shop correctly, it's very lucrative for your pocketbook. For example, they have one small area in the back usually has about 10 or 20 items on it. If you get lucky enough and you want to purchase these items every time you spend $10 on these items they give you a gift card for $10.. These are always food items in the back they call it eat for free. Last time I was in the store I got lucky. They had three types of tuna pouches in this section. I was lucky enough that one of them. The only ingredients were tuna, spices, and virgin olive oil. Usually for an ingredient reader like me I don't get lucky on this table, but this time I did. Turned out to be a great day at Ocean State for me as they also had a few will get a soups with great ingredients on the table at the same time. I don't think it's a record however I spent $170 and I left it with an $89 gift card. Good on future purchases and the gift card is good for anything in the entire store. I would say, read the flyer and see what crazy deals are available and make your way over to the eat for free section. Maybe you'll get lucky. ENJOY‼.
