(#1) As a result, I've rarely met TJ I didn't like, which includes this location next to Willamette Center. At one point TJ Maxx was in downtown Salem, but now this is the only one left in the city. Like many of the businesses in the same lot, it looks and feels new. However, unlike those businesses, TJ Maxx actually has a steady flow of people going in and out. There's no doubt, it's a popular store. (#2) Parking isn't an issue with so many open spaces and it's an easy place to be. Of the few times I've been, I feel this TJ's was solid inventory wise. I found a good amount of clothing for men's and was able to find a gift or two in the kitchen + home decor areas. I also scored a charger for my rental car and almost bit on some of their limited Oregon Ducks gear. No dice on the shoes (#3) but they do have some sizes in the 14-15 range. Service overall seems okay. They're good about letting folks use the restrooms (which were super clean) and keeping the changing rooms tidy. The cashiers are strangely a little slow and sometimes line form as a result. Given how often I'm in Salem, I'm certain I'll be back again. __________ (#1) Ok, not really. But the thrill of a good deal has never been more appreciated during these last two pandemic-laden years. (#2) And has more visitors than the mall itself. (#3) The plight of having large feet.

Coming here was just what I needed to continue the positive energy. Customers enter via two door options which create a welcoming feel. The ladies in front, behind and in between Style Home & C. are Maryanne(?) and her daughter. This shop instantly feels like it has the perfect balance of raw, edgy coolness and cozy comfort. Style H & C. also combines the rugged charm of exposed brick and weathered wood+metal accents. My two sweaters had wonderful price tags and can't wait for the cold weather in NY. There's nothing cluttered here and the minimalist, yet sleek style of this shop mirrors the look of the clothes offering traditional timeless fashion pieces with a twist, home decor and accessories mixed in. These ladies know what they got and that's an industrial style shop filled with charm, rugged wood, exposed brick walls- minus the hard hat.

It was clear they were friends, and their friendly warm banter was like a breath of fresh air in the ladies' retail world. That definitely makes one want to buy something! I made note that this store has some of my faves: Brighton, Hobo, and lots of classic clothing along with fun eclectic fashion items as well. We chatted and they gave me such a great sense of wanting to return, about a month later, I brought an out-of-state visiting friend there. The vibe was entirely different. A young-ish tall woman was the only salesperson on duty. She barely greeted us when we entered, paced around the floor with a pissed-off bored look on her face, fiddled with some stuff behind the counter, paced around impatiently some more, and did a stellar job of vibing us right out the door. There were a few other shoppers in the store and I noted they didn't stay long either. Totally baffling because my friend and I are your target demographic. We very likely would have done some serious shopping. Congrats on hiring someone who will make sure your store is empty, and safe from all those pesky and bothersome shoppers! Was it an ageism issue? Was she just having an off day? Who knows; who cares. We were made to feel so uncomfortable, I have walked by there numerous times and contemplated going in, but then thought, nahhhh, not worth the psychological beat-down (yes, that young saleswoman's attitude was THAT bad). Pity, because the other sales ladies were awesome, and I am in need of some new Hobo and Brighton items.

However, the Kohl's in the center had customers and employees with a clean and neat shopping experience. Now that JCPenney (and long before that, Liberty House) is gone, the "Marion Parkade" near Kohl's and cinnebarre became more popular due to its skybridge right into Kohl's. It was still easy to park and all kinds of cars are parked here. I felt very safe leaving my vehicle. If one parks in the other free downtown garage, you will be in for a short outdoor walk to enter the center. Today the food court was busy and a new Italian restaurant is coming soon to the first level where Honey baked Ham was. There are two large arcades on the second level. If you want to visit some local shops or Ross, those are here too. Many mall employees were on duty during my visit for security and housekeeping. Definitely still a mall for teens & early 20somethings. An older customer might find more interesting stuff walking south into downtown Salem's streets.

The boutique section is bright and springy, popping with yellows, lilacs, pinks and baby blues. Opposite of that are your staples; whites, blacks, browns, and grays in similar styles. There are stickers, accessories, and (grooming) products woven throughout the store. You'll be challenged to leave empty handed. I didn't!
