TJ Maxx

I knew it was a bad idea when this TJ Maxx moved from its old location to its new spot in Algiers…(Bad for my wallet… good for TJ Maxx). It seems I can NEVER just pick up lunch and return back to work without stopping to browse and see what kinda treasure i can find.
Well today was no different. Stumbled in and found this gorgeous yellow Jessica Simpson luggage set! So excited. I get everything from here… dishes, favorite green teas, sunglasses that Michelle J from BR always inherits, clothes for my niece, and perfume… basically EVERYTHING.
Its a one stop shop. Stores still in new condition, employees always on hand, but they are still working out some kinks I guess because things are always in a different area of the store when i visit.
The only thing that i can say is a bummer is that parking lot is soooooo far away from the actual store. So there’s no such thing as a good parking spot. And who needs that with this summer humidity.

My first day in New Orleans I went to the nearest TJ Maxx store which is 5 .2 miles away from my hotel. Being a stranger in town, I asked the cab driver how I could back to my hotel and he told the store can call a cab for me as that was in a different Parish. (They use parish for counties)
The cashier, looks like she is from the Philippines, was very nice. I asked her if she could call a cab for me. She called one of the floor associates. This guy looked surprised when he was asked to call a cab for me.
He went and called another associate who also called another person.
The cashier kept telling them the phone number was in a book in the first draw. None of them made an effort to even look. At this point there were 3 associates at the front with this cashier who was busy serving customers.
After standing there for quiet 10 minutes waiting for an answer, one of them told me to use my cell phone and google the number and call the cab.
She continued to say they don’t call cabs for customer.s.
It wasn’t their refusal to call the cab. but rather making me wait for that long and neither of them making an effort to even ask whether I was from there or not. Or even if I had a cell phone.
Poor customer service. My first encounter in New Orleans and this is what I get?

Close to my house and most importantly, ORGANIZED! Now if I can just stop obsessively buying cute dish towels, candles, and picture frames… thank you TJ Max for feeding that beast :)

I was pretty bummed when TJ Maxx moved from it’s previous location near my house, alllll the way to Algiers. It takes me 10 whole minutes to get there!
Since I found myself in the area, I decided to stop in and check out the fancy new digs. The store is located in an entirely new complex and everything is fresh, new and organized perfectly. The store is HUGE, so I can’t really blame them for the location change. TJ Maxx has everything from clothing to purses, jewelry and housewares. Since it was nearing the end of October when I stopped in, naturally all of the Christmas stuff was on full display– from wrapping paper to holiday scented candles.
I’ve always liked TJ Maxx because the items here are well priced and actually nice and not of cheap quality. The staff was also super friendly and were sure to ask if I needed help, which was extremely appreciated. Although I didn’t buy anything, the check out lines weren’t too long and all registers were open.

I woke up like this! Flawless,
Every woman should feel moved to say those words when they get out of bed every morning. It sets your mood for the day to be filled abundantly with all good things.
Well, today, I woke up like this. took a drive to the new TJ Maxx and had a great time shopping the unbothered racks and empty rows. It was like ahhhhhhhh… I can breathe, clothes. Wonderful. No worries about the lady pulling your shirt or scoping out your situation to see if you will buy that Kate Spade. No I did not buy her but was darn tempted. I really like the labels of handbags. You never know what you will get. I bought the cutest everyday bag. Also, career wear has alot to be desired but great start. I would like to see more pencil skirts and blazers in this section.
The swimwear section was non existent. Come on, son, dead of summer and we don’t have any threads to wear on the beach? I know yall will get it together.
The furniture seemed contemporary but I did not have time to price it. I also liked the little girls clothes…
The sale associates were very nice and just seemingly happy to be there. I was impressed that this store came out with a BANG… KEEP THE STAMINA TJ MAXX.
Great Job,

Brand new store in Algiers Plaza! The interior is gorgeous, spacious and filled with all different types of name brands. I only went in to check on the perfume but they have really cute clothes and shoes too! I noticed a lot of Kenneth Cole in general. They also have a jewelry case filled with beautiful necklaces! I must come back when I have money to burn: D
