EAST BRUNSWICK: Brunswick Square mall recently became pet friendly and we love that you can shop…read moreindoors with your dog! Dogs must be leashed, and of course, be respectful of merchandise and be sure to take your pup outside for bathroom breaks. The mall is small enough to easily go outside to the parking lot. Individual stores have their own policies, so check with a staff member before you go in. We stopped by to get lunch and enjoyed the outdoor patios of both The Twisted Crab and Bar Louie. We popped into GameStop, Bath & Body Works, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, and Panera Bread has an outdoor patio for the pups! In addition to shopping at some great stores and eating at some nice restaurants, you can use the mall as a convenient place to take your dog for an indoor walk. The mall hosts events too, so take a look at their website/social media for current happenings.

This mall has seen better days. You kinda feel like you're back in the 80s/early 90s walking around…read morethis place. It's got that dated feeling in there. Macys and JCPenney are magically still around as the anchors. There are some stores, but nothing really to keep you coming back here. I mean, unless Express Factory Store is your forte. I'm not sure what will save the mall at this point, but it seems like some restaurants are keeping afloat here. There's a Panera, a Bar Louie, a Barnes and Noble, Red Robin..... The location is kinda tough. Just a lot of traffic, so it's a bit of a pain for someone like me to get there. In the same amount of time I spend on Route 18, I could easily be at Menlo Park Pall or even Quaker Bridge Mall.

You cannot drive on the road unless you play chicken with oncoming cars. You cannot walk out of the coffee shop or store without weaving between the vehicles because they're in front of the doors. No one enforces anything until someone gets hit. And I have seen a lot of near misses. The stores pay a lot to be there . And they get no safety for their patrons. IT iS RIDICULOUS. And I'm there often unfortunately.

I was brought up shopping at Marshalls, but, after years of tediously having to hunt through racks…read morefor bargains and endlessly waiting on insane checkout lines, I had given up the hassle and stayed away. However, I was recently in the area of this location and needed to kill some time before dinner, so I decided to explore. Upon entering the store, I immediately noticed the picked through mess. There was low stock in various departments, as evidenced by the few remaining handbags hanging pitifully on the racks and the complete lack of a dress section. The store also had more one-off items, particularly in the shoe department. There were almost no endcaps highlighting their more designer items or those with extra stock and sizes. With all of that being said, I did wind up getting a sweater and did find the fitting room attendant and cashier both very friendly. Maybe their patience was due to the fact that the store was pretty empty for an early Sunday evening, but, regardless, it helped take some of the angst out of the experience.

I always find one or two hidden gems in here. They're always slow at the register and the floor is often pretty dusty or sprinkled with glitter that gets on the bottom of some of the merchandise.. but as I said, this should be viewed as a "I just need something cute, cheap, and/or last minute" type of spot.

I really agree with the comment below - Finale does not carry the same products as H&M and…read moreForever21 BUT they do carry seasonal fashion trends. Certainly not the best quality. I do not recommend purchasing ALL of your clothing here. After wearing the clothes for a few times, the fit definitely changes: often for the worse! But it's a great place to get something that will likely only be in-season for a little while or to get something for ONE particular night. As a matter of fact, I'll be purchasing my New Year's outfit there! Plenty of sparkly goodness going on right now. Please note, while I did give it 4 Stars - these stars must be taken with a grain of salt. It is certainly a 4-star cheapie store. If I were comparing it to my favorite stores, it would not rank so high. But as far as cheap thrills go, this place is great. Also, the sizes do run small. But that doesn't mean you won't find something that fits. You need to look around!
