TK Maxx

TKMaxx (and TJMaxx) is never the first shop that comes to mind no matter what I am looking for, but at some point in the process, it does pop up and I think, «Why didn’t I think of TKMaxx before?» In the U.S. I tend to go to TJMaxx for purses and random home items. I say random because I often go without a plan since you never really know what they will have in stock.
So when I was looking for some items for our apartment, I thought of TKMaxx. It is conveniently located in a shopping area with stores like Next, Argos, etc. and happens to be next to a Sainsbury’s and across the street from Morrison’s… and parking is free! The store is huge! There is a lot of room to move about and it isn’t cluttered. I wasn’t super impressed with the clothing selection for women or even the purses.
I tend to head straight upstairs to the home section. Typically I can find some great finds, but again, because the stock is never the same, it can be hit or miss. I have found some great things at low prices at this store, but there are some shelves in the store that always look bare. There are also some shelves that are a bit of a mess… I appreciate that it is contained on the shelf, but it can make it difficult if you have spotted something and have to dig around to free it… especially if there are some fragile items. I also really love this store for kitchen items!

Esta tienda es el paraíso y el infierno a la vez. Primero porque se encuentran artículos de marcas a precios suuuper rebajados. Lo segundo porque los precios están tan baratos que es MUY dificil resistir la tentación.
Es un outlet multimarca enorme, situado en una zona comercial del centro de bolton, al lado de Decathlon y la universidad. Tiene un amplio parking y es de dos alturas.
Venden un poco de todo, artículos y ropa para el hogar, muebles, ropa de mujer, hombre y bebé, zapatos, bolsos, etc. Hablando de zapatos, me encanta el hecho de que estén ordenador por tallas, en lugar de diseños, es mucho más fácil contrar lo que aun ni sabes que necesitas, pero que encuanto lo ves, sabes que no puedes vivir sin ello.
Mi consejo es NO venir si es que no vienes a buscar algo en concreto, yo nunca he podido salir con las manos vacías!

I remember how some women love the TK Maxx and are a fan of it’s ’ expensive brands for less’, but somehow it failed to ignite any spark in me.
The whole ambience of the place puts me off, maybe because there’re rows and rows of clothes kept all together that somehow it all looks quite old and shabby to me! I know, I know, that this perception might me different for hundreds but hey, I guess I just doesn’t have that ommph factor to me! But the pulling factor to it is obviously the huge bargains it offers to clothes that otherwise in their very articulate display might be too expensive for the wallet. So if you’re the kind that adores Tk Maxx, this branch at Bolton has a fairly huge collection and enough to keep you occupied for

I know that some people really love TK Maxx, for ever and ever, pinky swear. But not me. Oh no.
I dislike shopping at the best of times but the prospect of having to sift through hundreds and hundreds of items to find something that might be ok fills me with terror. My girlfriend is always trying to make us go into TK Maxx and I’m always resisting.
However, if TK Maxx is your thing, and it is for probably most of the population, go pay this one a visit as it’s massive and full of bargains. If you can stand the sifting, then you’re sure to find something you like.
I won’t be seeing you there though.

Tk maxx is situalted in Bolton Shopping Park on Trinity Street near Sainsburys. It has moved from Crompton Shopping Centre in the town centre.
Parking is Free and the car park is a good size and right in front of the store.
The front of the store is modern, attractive, bright and clearly shows the sign TK maxx.
Inside the store is huge and is on two floors. The store is bright, clean and well set out. It is spacious and there is plenty of room for sales without causing cramping within the store.
This has to be my favourite store, it has wonderful high quality names for a fraction of the price. including teen wear, womens wear, mens wear, shoes, bags, make up, perfume, home ware and more more more!
Prices are competitive and the brands are good quality.
There are changing rooms and these are spacious and clean.
The checkouts are to the left side of the store on the lower floor and are normally well staffed.
Staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The atmosphere is nice.
Other shops at the retail park include TJ Hughes (next door), Next, Boots and Peacocks.
A wonderful store and with great Free parking.
I highly recommend this store.
