T K Maxx

I absolutely love TK Maxx! Yes it is disorganised and chaotic… However every-​time I step in the promise of finding that special something inspires me!

Do not be put of by the exterior design of this shop. Inside there are plenty of hidden gems to be found. If you are patient enough on a weekday when there are not alot of people and more cloths in stock you can find alot of good stuff for very low prices.

My advice: don’t be put off by the hugeness and scruffiness of this shop. you need to go there when you have a lot of free time on your hands, as there is some real rubbish in here. but, if you look hard enough, you will find some REAL gems! there may still be some stigma attached to shopping in TKMaxx, but the bargins you can find will ashtonish anyone.
So keep digging!

Great for bargains if you are prepared to hunt, dig and gather ! you will need oodles of stamina and staying power to go through the rails but you will be sure to find a gem. Hot untidy dressing rooms and the shop is very hot anyway and trying to get through other shoppers can jangle on your nerves (unless of course you are a really cool and calm person). Not all things are as cheap so be a savvy shopper and know your prices.
Insufficient mirrors to hold something up to without going to the changing rooms. Not all staff are helpful– they are throughly fed up (and look fed-​up too) with having to constantly pick stuff off the floor, return mountains of clothes back to the rails and being asked questions.
Bargain hunters this store is made for you!

TK Max is vast having swallowed up the shop next door, it is now on several floors and levels. Crammed full of stock in a not too far from the jumble sale arrangement meaning you have to go down each line and hope that all the sizes are in the right place (often not). About as much choice as you could wish for and best not to go in looking for a particular item — but best when you find the perfect item you never knew you wanted after browsing for much longer than you expected to. Prices are not the bargains they used to be but in some ways this is reflecting the higher prices of the items that they were initially sold at. Used to be a store that collected unsold stock from shops but I suspect some suppliers now sell direct to TK Max.

So popular, this branch recently doubled in size; TK Maxx is not a venue for the faint-​hearted. Best to visit when your energy reserves are not flagging; patience and perseverance can often pay-​off in the bargain hunting stakes.
There truly is something for everyone here; all are catered for. In clothing from tiny sizes to the most accommodating: men, women and children, top designer and throwaway fashion. Treasures and disasters. A shop of contrasts. If your timing is right you can snare a real winner. Current examples include Armando Pollini suede boots at just under £80 instead of £300; Diesel jeans for around £20. In the household department I once found a beautiful Limoges porcelain plate with real gold decoration for just 50p.
Not a place to come for optimum customer service; you can however explore at your leisure, although the crowded aisles can sometimes feel like an obstacle course. Come here when you have time on your hands and an open mind.
