After our dinner tonight we headed over to check out the neighborhood TJ Maxx. G not being the lover of shopping, did head over to the men’s area to check it out. I on the other hand headed to sheets, and of course decorative home stuff. I also check out the clothing which was real slim pickings. We eventually met up near pillows to which I was greeting with, «I’m done, I will wait for you in the car», and my reply… I’m right behind you. This place use to be the Barnes and Noble store. I kind of wish it still was the bookstore. Of all of the TJ Maxx stores that I have visited this one is sort of blah. I think the best thing in the whole store was the kayak. Holy mother of Kayaks… a kayak in a TJ Maxx. I kind of wanted it just because it was there. Next you will see surfboards and ski’s. The New York Yankee onesie was kind of weird also. That I did not want. If you are looking for an array of things, this is not the TJ Maxx for you. So RIP Barnes and Noble stores. We will miss you.

I find a very nice sports clouding in a very good price! It seems to be my favorite place to shop. Very nice customer service!

This used to be a Barnes and Noble, and I was pretty sad when they closed down. But then again I haven’t bought a book in B&N since maybe high school, that’s probably also the last time I read a whole book. They have a lot of clothes, kitchenware, and many other household items at a very discounted price. This is one of the larger stores with 2 levels. I come here for earphones/headphones purchases. Worth a visit!

In a stroke of genius, TJ Maxx is now essentially right next to St. John’s. This is a college student’s dream come true! Need a fairly priced clothing item, sweet treat, discount soap, et al. Just drop by! Need a part time job? Apply! The only issue that this place has is that more cashiers need to open up more often. The line is insane this Saturday at 2 p.m. However, this issue quickly got resolved as the manager paged for more cashiers. This will great for businesses in this area! Gan Da Sushi, Acquista Trattoria, Green Lotus, et al. New York City will certainly get more money from me constantly feeding the meters outside. There is cheaper street parking if you wish to save a little money — just walk a little! This place will make a killing in this area, which desperately needs a place like this. The local businesses are tangential beneficiaries now, too!

So the old Barnes and Noble by St. John’s finally closed down. And now there’s a TJ Maxx in its place! So glad I don’t have to make the trek out to Long Island or QCM anymore. This location is decent. There’s paid parking lot available and there’s also plenty of residential parking around here. Inside, both men’s, women’s, & children’s clothes, along with home goods and toys are downstairs. So is the dressing room. Cashiers and jewelry and some other goods are upstairs. I love TJ Maxx because I can find great deals on clothes at very reasonable prices. I see people paying full price, for example, on Under Armour coldgear, when they can get the exact same item at a TJ Maxx for 1⁄3 or half price.(of course, you’ll have to be lucky sometimes if that particular store even has what you’re looking for, but still. there’s a good chance they do). This location has only been open for 2 – 3 months. so far so good. Clean, well maintained. Most of the clothes are organized in proper size order. Not bad!
