T.J. Maxx

Cyndy’s Bottom Line: Love this location primarily because of the customer service and merchandise.
Leanne is the best! She is very professional, cheerful and so helpful! Leanne is so helpful to my Mom who is a shopper that moves slowly.
The inventory of merchandise seems larger here.
Great location and parking.

If you are in search of a great place to find deals… look no further. They have it all! My favorite is the home décor. It’s just like Ross, but BETTER! Everything is better quality and much more organized. I love that I never know what I’m going to find and when I come across something that I love, the price is always right.

I don’t think y’all understand when I say this is my spot!
Haha I’m known to frequent tj maxx. Even my ex says, «Ugh… all you want to do is shop at tj maxx.»
Why not? This place is bomb and the pricing is great too especially for the quality of items.
I can’t comment on the layout too much because I’m so familiar with it that I know it like the back of my hand. When you walk in there’s the seasonal items and best sellers, behind that is womens clothing. To the right of women clothing is higher end clothing. Much classier and much more expensive. To the right of when you walk inside is women bags and purses then past that to your right some more is luggage and traveling necessities. After you pass that in the aisle (far right of store), you have the jewelry section, then the body bath and make up section, then shoes. After the shoes aisle, you have kitchen stuff. After you pass all this, (if you are in the aisle) you are in the back of store. To your left is dog stuff and lingerie and to your right is home stuff and decoration. You can find cleaning supplies, laundry stuff, books, etc. When you keep waling down this aisle if you go straight you will pass the furniture then the bathroom stuff then discounted items to your right and mens’ and kids clothing to your left and you will end up in the dressing room. To the right of the dressing room (far left end and back of store) is the bathroom.
Yes. I’m that obsessed with tj maxx. You can ask they carry an item and I can tell you the probability. That’s pretty good considering they change items every week.

Parking: Lots of it! There’s a parking garage attached to TJ Maxx’s entrances or you can park anywhere in the Ward area.
Service: Unbelievable! I usually come here early in the morning (I browse as I wait for Nordstrom Rack to open), so this is usually when the staff is stocking the shelves and what not. The staff is always saying «Good morning» and asking me if I’m finding everything OK. Once someone brought me a cart because I was holding an item. Nice :)
Pricing: Pricing is good– higher than Ross in my experience but the quality and brand is usually better. They have a small section of designer stuff near the upstairs entrance.
Final Verdict: I don’t always find good stuff but when I do, it’s usually a BUNCH of good finds… especially around Christmas time.

I actually look forward to going to TJ Maxx, not for the clothes since it’s limited, but for their home goods and beauty section. They got some good stuff! I bought a lot of my Christmas gifts there. Great prices. It’s also nostalgic for me. There used to be a TJ Maxx at the strip mall near Aloha Stadium in the ‘90s, so I was happy to know they reopened. The cashiers are also friendly too. Even though I shop for clothes more in general, I am more exciting about walking into TJ maxx than I am at Nordstrom Rack next door.

This is my «getaway mini vacay» I would literally spend hours here just to feel better that I could actually imagine I could afford nice things living here. As you know living in the islands your stuff is either gonna be covered in dust or you should just buy stuff from Craigslist from all those nomads moving out of the island. Btw I’m one of those nomads it’s probably because I’m really an Aries. Anyways, I bought most of my cat stuff here because 1) it’s very affordable 2) it’s good quality 3) Walmart won’t beat the prices, never mind that the products itself are aesthetically chic! This place can be equivalent to Ross or even Target (with the exception of brand names product). There is plenty of parking very wide space and it’s near Ward warehouse in case you stay too long until dinner. Anyway you can get anything from shoes to kitchen items and even furniture! Of course just like Ross if you decide to NOT buy an item now it would probably be gone tomorrow or worse the minute you put it down! They have a very good refund system, keep your receipts, return in the same condition you bought it & customer service will take care of you! That’s only assuming you’ll return your stuff because you’ll love it too much (guilty)!
I don’t shop here for shoes or purses although there are plenty very very nice ones (brand names too), hope you get to enjoy the home items shopping like I do!

I love this TJ Maxx because they always have what I’m looking for. I also shop at the other TJ Maxx in pearl city but this location has tons of parking and is near all lot stores and entertainment places. It’s convenient location makes it the place to be but besides that the good deals here is the main reason why I shop here.

Great place to hunt down some nice deals. TJ’s has some very good quality items and if you can hit them at the right time, score some name brands. They have a good selection of housewares and luggage. All of their employees are always very friendly and helpful. Nice change from some of the other similar retailers.

I am partial to TJ Maxx’s stepsister, Marshall’s. Say what? Oh sorry, there are no Marshall’s here! I always make it a point to stop here and check it out if I go to Nordstrom Rack. So I thought I got some good deals at NR and wasn’t expecting to buy anything at TJM. That’s until I took 5 steps inside and saw the clearance table with shoes. Most of them were $ 5 each! Yes, five dollars. Some of the brands were Nine West, Sam Edelman, Aerosoles, Olu Kai, and I forgot the rest. I saw a pair of sandals that caught my eye and to my amazement, they were $ 5 and they were Sam Edelman’s! Expect the unexpected lol
In the past I’ve bought lotion, hair care products and lots of other things for very good prices. Granted some items have changed packaging or are discontinued but they are still usable.
I’d definitely call this a bargain hunter’s paradise.

With the abundance of Ross as the preeminent discount store in Hawaii, I’m so thankful to have a superior option in T.J.Maxx. The Ward location is one of the nicest I’ve been too, and they just keep improving the layout and organization.
Located in one of the newer parts of Ward Center, it’s on the 3^rd floor connected to the most convenient parking garage of the complex. Entrance is a snap either by parking right outside or taking one of the many elevators or escalators. There is also a ground floor entrance with stairs that opens onto a nice sidewalk and fountains across from Nordstrom Rack.
This store has a great selection of mainly clothes, home goods, exercise equipment, furniture, food, and toys. I come here to look around at things for my apartment. Prices are excellent, especially for Hawaii. Staff is friendly and there are always plenty of cashiers to make check out easy and fast. I always end up buying something because it’s just such a great deal!

Wow, wish my local TJ Maxx was this big, clean and loaded with great merchandise!
We needed another suitcase to bring back our goodies so we decided to stop by here. They have a TON of great suitcases. Decided to look at the backpacks for the kiddos since school is starting soon on the mainland. My picky son found his backpack & lunch box here. One less thing to shop when I return home!
We returned to the hotel and discovered the handle to the suitcase didn’t retract smoothly. Turns out there was a dent in the handle. TJ Maxx gladly accepted our return and allowed us to exchange for a new one even with the tags off. Great customer service. Again, i would be super broke if this TJ Maxx was near me…

I come here to kill time. Does that sound horrible? It sounds bad to me, but it’s true. This place always overwhelms. There are so many things here that I just can’t concentrate. Needless to say I am a regular here because among the many items offered here, I always buy stuff from the pet section. Compared to stores that are specifically only for pets and pet accessories, TJ Maxx has their prices beat! I buy pet beds, dog shampoos, toys, car seat covers (I hate that my dog sheds so much in the car) here. All purchased for considerably less. Thank you, TJ Maxx for that.

Customer Service is fantastic over here! When I was just thinking to myself about how much I needed to get a cart while carrying three sets of heavy curtains, a lil worker bee magically appeared and asked if I needed one. Then, as I was approaching the fitting room, not needing to try anything on (just checking out the bedding merchandise), the two ladies working that area said «Good Morning!» So welcoming! When I checked out, the lady at the register was really nice. She also mentioned that if for any reason the curtains did not fit or look right, I can bring them back as long as I bring all of the hangers and tags back, they will fold them back up.
Overall, my first time shopping experience here was pretty awesome! I will be back! Especially for more home décor!

Pro’s: Love the selection of clothing. I love the clearance section. Got me a pretty pink dress top for only $ 5! Plus, ample parking in the structure.
Cons: Employees on the floor are not as friendly as the other T.J. Maxx’s on the island. .and I’ve been to the Kapolei, Pearl City and Pearlridge stores. LOL. Not one employee greeted me, asked how I was doing or if I needed any help.

Great place to shop with many happy employees that greeted you throughout the store. I always walk out with stuff that I don’t really need but couldn’t pass the deal! I’m in love with their home selection especially all the décor. They had some great clothing for my soon to be teen, but not much selection for baby boy.
I would come back to shop again ;)

T.J. Maxx is kind of hit or miss for me. I don’t find much clothes there for myself although they do have a lot of designer stuff (it’s like an upgraded version of Ross). But I do seem to find some pretty awesome snacks! They have a lot of gourmet goods and health snacks like paleo cookies or gluten free bars. Those things can be expensive so it’s nice that they are a little cheaper here. Shoes are also a hit or miss. I’ve found some nice ones but couldn’t bring myself to buy it. I’d prefer Nordstrom Rack when looking for shoes. They do have a great selection of stationary/​notebooks/​cards which I don’t usually find at Ross or the Rack. Customer service is pretty great here and always very friendly!

I love T.J. Maxx to begin with and I have tried to avoid this location since I have lived here… and now I know why! This is by far the best location on Oahu in my opinion. They are all good, but this one seems HUGE and more variety. Definitely a store where it challenges you to come in without buying something. It’s a very well put together store and really puts me in a my «happy place» when I roam the isles.
A really big pro is the parking at the Ward. This store has its own level in the parking garage which makes it super simple to park & shop.
No con’s other than it’s hard to get out of there without buying something!

I love shopping here, because it is DOG FRIENDLY if your dog is well behaved and on a leash.
When I heard that T.J. Maxx was coming to Kaka’ako, I was absolutely ecstatic. TJ Maxx has always been one of my favorite places to peruse and shop while I was living on the mainland. They have the most beautiful clothes at unbelievably cheap prices. That’s pretty much all I ever used to go to TJ Maxx for, but now that I have my own apartment, this is my go to spot for all my home needs from kitchen stuff to decorations. This is where I got to get all of my sheets, and mainly this is where I get a lot of my dog’s toys.
I love this store specifically, because one time over summer my debit card was taking forever to come in the mail and my current one had expired so I had to resort to using my checkbook. For some reason the machine was having a hard time reading my check, and I was seriously at the checkout counter for an HOUR AND A HALF, but that was because my BANK was being ridiculous. Not because the sales girl didn’t know what she was doing. Eventually, the manager had to come over of course to help out. She ended up writing a gift certificate for me to get 10% my entire next purchase, but really she did NOT have to do that, because none of that was their fault! My bank was just absolutely ridiculous! I kept telling her that she did not have to do that, but she insisted on me taking the certificate for the time that I spent there.
Then she noticed that I had a doggie bed in my cart, and asked me about my dog. That was when she told me that they are DOG FRIENDLY there, and ever since then my shopping experience has been through the roof! I love everything about this place from the location, to the cleanliness, to the selection of EVERYTHING, to the people. I also love how convenient this place is for when you need to buy a last minute gift. My boyfriend and I came here to shop for a friend’s baby shower, and we got like six different things including the gift bag, a baby shower card, AND tissue paper for the price of just ONE gift from a place like Gymboree! Best place ever.

I love discount prices, therefore, I love TJ Maxx. There’s something about TJ Maxx that makes it more fun to shop in than it does a Ross.
I would probably categorize TJ Maxx between Ross and Nordstrom Rack, as far as quality and prices go. You can find some things that you might find at Nordstrom Rack, but not at Ross, and you could find some prices that you might find at Ross but not at Nordstrom Rack.
I just enjoy walking around TJ Maxx, looking through all the clothes, electronics, and houseware items. It’s newer and cleaner than Ross is, and I just feel comfortable in TJ Maxx.
I like that they have a pretty big section for men’s shirts, as well as men’s bottoms. I wish that they had a section for men’s shoes, as they only offer women’s shoes, but I feel like the types of housewares that they have make up for that void.
I was actually able to find a pretty nice aloha print shirt last minute, which was American Eagle brand for 15 bucks! Talk about a deal!
Prices are great, selection is great, TJ Maxx is great. If you want to go on a discount shopping spree, put TJ Maxx on the list!

Positives:
–free parking
–convenient location next to Nordstrom rack so you can compare prices
Negatives:
–too expensive for what you get
–low selection
I don’t really like this place. Pretty expensive and not even that much selection. Can get better stuff at Nordstrom rack for cheaper or at least Ross for cheaper even if it’s not quite as good. I was unimpressed.
Bottom line:
I don’t shop here anymore.
