TJ Maxx

Very clean, somewhat organized TJ Maxx. The holiday shoppers are out in force, so I imagine it is typically less hectic. Either way, the staff was very friendly and I was in and out of the checkout line within 5 minutes.

This is a fun store to shop in and the people who work here are very friendly. I find the quality of the store items to be far superior to Ross. AND the shopping experience is much more pleasant.
The prices in the jewelry area are really good for the product types and quality!
Check out their leather boots!

I Can usually find a little something here at a reasonable price. They get 5 stars for the clothes and 2 stars for their customer service. I am glad to see the new HS grads working but their level on concentration is lacking. The sales young adults were yelling at each other about their personal business while customers were waiting in line. My cashier had trouble staying on topic and I had to repeatedly ask for one of my items that she rang up and did not give to me. She had to go through the receipt and cross each item off before she would finally give me my last item. Oh I only bought 5 blouses!!! Really?

As I was looking at clothes my 4 year old daughter escaped, I immediately went after her. Joe, one of their managers, came after her as I was getting her out of racks. His tone of voice was just mean and it scared her so she started to hide in the rack again right next to us. As I calmly started to explain to her, his voice rose and he started to tell her not to go in the racks. I told JOE, «that’s enough! I’m right here.» I grabbed my children and left. Yes there were cute things, but how rude, he had no class and must have no kids. I understand not having kids run in the store, but I was RIGHT there to discipline my own child and I was! Some store associate oranager had no business yelling at my daughter right in front of me!

I come in here every 3 months or so. Seems like it has really gone downhill lately. Poor selection of clothes, jewelry, shoes, accessories. I was trying on a sweater and noticed it had a hole in it. I didn’t want the sweater, but I didn’t want someone else to buy it not realizing it had a hole, so I showed it to the salesgirl. Her response was, «Our clothes have a lot of problems. If someone wants them we discount them.» And back on the rack it went.
The one thing they have going for them is that they sell the best reusable bags in the county. Huge, strong, and only $.99. Seriously, I have carried two watermelons in one.

If you’re really bargain shopping, go to Ross. This is more of a convenience discounter, and there aren’t many good deals. Every month or so I come back in to look around and see if I can find a bargain, and usually leave empty handed or with a piece of damaged clearance.
For those of you who are big on your labels, this place will be great. Excellent selection of handbags, house ware, baby clothing, and toiletries, eh selection on everything else. This location gets the high-​end clothing, and is very trendy (they divvy up merch to these stores based on the relative income of the shopping population… chic SLO mommies, thanks for pooping my bargain party).
The one thing I have learned living out here is that second-​hand stores and thrift shops are actually pretty great — I guess a lot of people out here actually cycle their wardrobes based on the season. I’m still wearing clothes from middle school (I was a big kid), if that tells you anything.
Next time I want to window shop, I’ll come here.

TJ by the SLO Costco. luggage handbags womens and kids shoes. no mens shoes. lothes for everyone. jewelry, kitchen gadgets. linens, imported décor sfuff headphones.

Prices are cheap enough. Limited men’s section and only low quality clothing. Great store though. Nice bathrooms

This TJ Maxx is a newer store, so cleanliness is still sharp. As for the split of merchandise, the bulk of it goes to women’s and kids styles, with a few odd pickings for us guys. What’s not clothing is a mish-​mash of home décor items, often with reasonable prices. While there’s nothing extraordinary here to make it a «must have» stop, it can’t hurt to pop in and out when paying a visit to Costco or BevMo right next door.

This is by far the nicest Tj Maxx I’ve ever been too, and they’ve had the best products I’ve ever seen in a discount store. I got a pair of $ 100 Ed Hardy boardshorts for $ 20, a $ 200 Ed Hardy swimsuit for $ 30, and my boyfriend got numerous pairs of Ed Hardy and Affliction boardshorts all in the range of $ 100-​$ 150 for $ 20-​$ 25 each! You just can’t beat this place! It has products that you’d expect to see in an upper scale store.
The layout of this Tj Maxx is also wonderful and so very clean! It’s just the best Tj Maxx probably in California and if you like getting great clothes and other misc household items and a VERY good price, you should give this one a try!

This is the upscale Ross. Excellent prices (though not quite the bargain that Ross is), beautiful new store, very tidy and organized. There’s also a bit more room to roam, so you’re not stuck in crowded aisle. Their handbag selection is wonderful, and while prices are not inexpensive, they offer huge deals on designer bags. Very few inexpensive ones, but what they have is upper-​end and beautiful. Shoe selection seems a bit skimpy, but well-​priced. Nice jewelry section, lots of very attractive home décor and kitchen/​bath stuff.
I love shopping here!

I love TJ Maxx and this store is perfect example of why. They had a great selection of bags and wallets, a phenominal wall of scarves and a great beauty section with tons of salon shampoo’s for less than half the retail price. The shoe selection was large but I didn’t find much in my size (9 – 10). Still the lingere section was great as usual and the housewares are awesome too. The clothes selection was smaller in comparison to TJ Maxx’s I have shopped at in the bay area but nevertheless was neat and organized and I still found a few things.
San Luis doesn’t have a department store and this is as good as it gets for us.

There is always a good variety of clothes here, from the high end clothing to very cheap! However, when something has been marked down to 2 – 3 dollars, it is clearly a return and you must check the item for any damage/​holes/​stains etc. These items are final sale!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this store. They are always so helpful and really do have the designer stuff for the best prices, keep it up!

This place sucks very small selection for guys! Mostly usc stuff and differs and angels. Lol

My fashionista pulse always beats fast as I enter a TJMAXX, anticipating the bargains galore. This store is new and it feels pristine, with good lighting and fresh spacious dressing rooms. The bathroom (a rarity for shoppers in San Luis) is also large and well maintained.
The clothing in this store seems a bit conservative in cut and color compared to some of the more urban locations, but the handbags are phenomenal, and the small selection of shoes features some very high end brands. I got a pair of Donald J. Pliner riding boots for $ 90, one third of the retail price. In keeping with the country nature of the county, the housewares section is excellent, and I totally updated my cookware from the kitchen department. Their linens are good, if somewhat plain, and they do have some small furniture.
Clothing leans toward sporty, simple colors, and they have a wide selection. Ample parking, and speedy check out service make this the high end discount store of San Luis Obispo county.

I am the Queen of bargain shopping and I loved this TJ Maxx! This store was very clean and organized. The bathrooms were very clean.
There was sooo much to choose from I had a problem putting stuff back. There was a ridiculous amount of items on clearance all throughout the store, not sure if its always like this or this was an end of the year clearance. The dressing rooms were clean and looked brand new. They had the family sized dressing rooms if you needed them.
The shoe section was sparse but the purse area more than made up for what was lacking in shoes :) I left happy with a little less $ in my pocket.

When it comes to looking for name-​brand merchandise at a great discount, chances are Ross stores come to mind. After all, it’s widely advertised as a place where you get more for your money on great brands.
Enter T.J. Maxx. This store moved into a location that used to be Linens-​N-​Things before they went bankrupt. It’s basically like Ross, except that the aisles are neatly organized, some signature items are given their own racks, and it looks like fun on the inside if you’re into bargain shopping. The jewelry section is worth checking out (for instance, when I was there, I was surprised at the amount and selection of Swiss-​made watches that were available).
However, it is like Ross in one aspect… it has the long lines at checkout. The system is computerized (it has a robot voice that tells you to go to lane «x» when it’s free), but even then, there were only 2 employees at the checkout, which made the process somewhat slow.
So, if you are looking for a great alternative to Ross, go to T.J. Maxx.
