With the holidays quickly approaching, there's plenty sparkly holiday gear, as well as "Ugly" Christmas sweaters. There's a nice variety of holiday decor for your home. Depending when I go, the line to checkout can be pretty long, but they have several cashiers working, so it's a pretty quick process.

The items are the same quality as the regular store, but at a much lower cost. A brand new J. Crew Factory store just opened last week in West Hartford's Corbin's Corner. The store has a great layout, and plenty of great summer pieces, for men, women and children. Most of the store is currently on sale for 40 - 50% off. Since this store is brand new, the exterior is still under construction, but It's what's on the inside that matters. The sales associates are friendly and answered all my questions. I've already been here twice since they opened last week. I'm glad to have a factory store nearby now. It's a good idea to come in frequently as new stock comes in often.

My husband and I stopped in while our running errands this past long weekend and we were so…read morepleasantly surprised by our experience. Not only was the store clean and organized, but we were able to find so many great items for both my husband and our 3 year old son. I was elated to find several matching shirts for them to wear over the summer, which I look forward to seeing them in together. Prices were great and having the teacher discount on top of it was excellent. When we went up to the register, the young lady behind the counter (Lauren A) was patient as we troubleshooted which email my J.Crew account was linked to. We ended up sharing some small talk about my husband and I being educators and she was very sweet in engaging about our jobs, summer break, and which grade levels we worked with. She was so positive and genuinely happy/helpful. This wasn't exclusive just to us either. We overheard similar interactions with her and other customers in line before we approached. She was just a kind person, who seemed dedicated to her job. We will definitely return!

So glad this town has a TJ Maxx, it's a staple and if you're unfamiliar with this store, take a stroll and see what they've got to offer, you won't be disappointed, unless you're a XXL like my husband, and in that case it's hit or miss.

I got all these great All-Clad pans there. And the clothes, I don't even know where the faults are, but they fit well and wear forever. I just don't like to waste my money on cloth that all it does is covers your body. TJs and/or Marshalls (any TJX affiliates) is exactly what the Dr. ordered. My mom swears by it, and you will always see her there rummaging through all the cooking stuff and books. Say ho for me, since she lives there now. I think she made a pillow fort in the bedding aisle.

I enjoy shopping here especially in the clearance racks…read more They have really unique snacks and I'm always looking for funky flavored ones. On my most recent trip, I purchased the peach rings with tajin, mango chili taffy, fat free coffee flavoring, supplements, and home decor. I noticed that the aisles were really cramped especially walking through with a cart; it will not fit two carts so if there is another person in the aisle, there might be a cart accident lol. Cashiers has been pretty friendly so far. This is the closest HG to me so I'll be frequenting it.

You can find it all at HomeGoods. The prices are better then anywhere else, and quality is often higher on substantial items. My home is filled with many items that came from this store. They have big things like dining table with chairs to small things like decorative napkins. The staff who work here will help you load your car if it's a larger object that you've purchased. This HomeGoods is packed with all kinds of great finds. You'll for sure find something new for your home.

In the late afternoon on 2/12, I was in the store. The 2 women working were horrible.

The dark haired pillowy woman with the plastic face, aggressive eyelashes and inflatable lips feigned interest as well as she rolled her eyes. The two would shoot each other looks and practically giggle. What are they, 12 year olds? Definitely too old looking to be high school girls and should act more appropriately. They also gave the impression they were better than those shopping there. Really, after all they are just sales clerks. Carter's used to stand for more than just clothing, it used to also stand for the personal attention as well. Employees like that usually find themselves terminated, but at the very least should not work together if that's what they present for customer service when they do.

You can find great deals in the clearance section, and I often buy clearance items in larger sizes for when my daughter is older.

We came away with a handful of purchases, so you could say we were pleased. And generally, we were. The stock is good, the saleswomen very helpful, and the atmosphere is welcoming. We were disappointed that a few more items weren't on sale, but that sort of goes with the territory. Given that this store is not an outlet, we found many of the prices reasonable and, as mentioned, were happy with our pretty purchases.

I would typically shop here when I'm purchasing gifts for my mother-in-law, who is a huge fan. Other than that, I don't go too often since it's not really my style and price range.

I've been shopping at DSW for years, and overall it's still a solid place to find quality shoes…read morewith a wide selection. On my latest visit, I found exactly what I needed without too much hassle, which is always a win. That said, it feels like the discounts and deals that DSW was once known for have scaled back a bit. It used to be easier to find deeper markdowns or snag something under $50, but now you have to dig a little harder--and even then, the deals aren't quite what they used to be. The clearance section felt more picked over than usual, and the pricing structure can be a little confusing at times. Still, the store was clean, organized, and the staff was helpful. If you know what you're looking for and keep an eye out for rewards or promotions, you can still score a good deal--it just takes a bit more effort than it used to.

To preface, this review is not towards the Plainville store, as they have great customer service…read moreand friendly staff! However, I tried using a sale discount online about a month ago, but it excluded ASICS. I find it odd a shoe store would exclude a brand, but that's ok. ASICS are the most comfortable to me considering I have a heel spur, and one foot that had surgery. Just to offer my opinion to consider including ASICS, I sent a message to their customer service via email. The following day, I received a nice response from Yelena, acknowledging my inquiry and to please send them the pair I was interested in, along with my size and they would be happy to honor the sale. A few days later I replied along with a screenshot and the size. I reached out twice over the next couple of weeks and never received a response. I then sent a regular letter via mail requesting feedback. Zero response. I wasn't looking for exceptions to begin with, but why offer if you aren't going to back it up? I'm not sure how you simply ignore a customer, but that appears to have taken place here.
