Jembro is kind of like a better version of a 99 cent store. You can find clothing, furniture, some other household items and cheap shoes here. Once or twice I’ve seen some designer items in here greatly discounted. Most of the stuff is just what you’d expect to find in the discount clothing store, it’s not always the best quality, but the prices are reasonable so you can’t really complain.

This place was awesome! So much interesting stuff at a great price. I love how classy compressed cardboard furniture can look. If you’re in Flushing, this should definitely be a stop. It’s like the best of every dollar store presented in one store.

It always amazes me how long this store has been open. I used to come here as a kid for cheap miscellaneous items and they still sell all of that. It’s like a cheaper version of Target with lesser quality goods. The selection isn’t the greatest and the lines can get long, but it’s cheap. What more can you ask for?

Love shopping at this store. They have another store located in Jamaica and in CT. Easy access via the MTA subway. Take the 7 line to main street station which is the last stop and go upstairs. The store is located on Roosevelt Avenue and it is right across the street from Macy’s. This is not a department store like Macy’s and more of a discount store. Clothing items are no way incomparison to that of a department store. Best items to buy are undergarments, PJ’s, shower curtains, tee-shirts, household items, blankets, socks, etc… Noticed area for luggage which cost less than the department stores. If you are looking for bargains. This is the place to shop. As for dishwashing liquid and cleaning agents they are within the same price range as the supermarkets.

The phone number listed is a fax number. That’s the third toy store I’ve called in flushing with an incorrect phone number listed. What the heck people? Don’t you want to make money???

I’m not sure what ‘attacks’ others are talking about. There are some ghetto customers inside but usually they don’t bother you. I live 3 miles away from downtown flushing and I always go to this store to get my track pants, lounge wear, and few other household stuff. It is always a bang for the buck. There is a macy’s right across the road from this Jembro and still this store is always full with customers. Very cheap stuff but ofcourse the quality is of the same level too. I can use the sweat pants only for about 6 months and then it wears off(i prefer new ones every 6 months!).

Lately, this store has been hitting the down and dirty discount jackpot. Yea, so okay, some of its customer base consists of weirdos and ghetto trash. Well, what do you expect? it’s a discount store, not Nornstrom’s. And if you could afford Nornstorm, then why are you shopping at Jembro? Sometimes there’s a cashier who’s a ditz, and I’ve overheard the manager be a dick. Again, if you want the upscale shopping experience, then why are you on Main Street? This is coming from someone who’s constantly complained about rudeness from other businesses. My zip code states that I live in the city full of attitudes, so you know. Plus I’ve got an attitude too. Touché’. Although the attitude I received in the Flushing Macy’s…that one just stank.(See my Macy’s review) Attitudes aside, I’ve found the oddest things here. Did get a nice red comforter here once, and other assorted cheapo goodies. I’m quite sure once the novelty of this place dries up, I’ll probably move on to the next discount disco extravaganza.

i love this store for its great selection & prices on most items(except for sterilite storage — RIPOFF!). i like that they open the back and front entrances. however, the cashier with the glasses and funked out frizzy hair is retarded. she forgot to take the alarm device off the purse i bought, and a few days later, when i went back using the purse and asked her to remove the device, she wouldn’t do so without my presenting a receipt. furthermore, the biggest weirdos and ghetto baby mamas go to this store and harass other store goers and start fights. i have used pepper spray at this store against a looney-alcoholic hispanic woman who attacked me. a young fat latina girl harassed me there once as well. i have seen on several occasions people who get cut in line or pushed into another aisles by black customers who come from the nearby projects. when these incidents occur, the store employees, especially the retard mentioned above, usually just watches as if it were a tv commercial.

What !!! I am the first to write about Jembro, what a privey! Great place for comforters, drapes and bed sheets however a bad place for hygene! My bad, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I don’t always smell so fresh. Anyways, I used to love going there to see what rediculous toys they have, they always have some talking doll for a b list celebrity and at one time they had white kit-kats for Christmas. But the owner refuses to help his workers out and one day the line was 40 people long and some lady was literally pulling money out of her breast and complaining at the same time and the manager just gave everyone the FU look without helping out. Since that day I have lost respect for Jembro, that and the fact that they no longer allow you to go in both ways… a hello!
