People are criticizing this store on some pretty warped expectations. Think of Gordman's as a brick and mortar version of overstock.com. It buys overstock from other stores for really cheap and then resells it at a extremely reduced price. They do carry some of their own things but largely this is what they do. This means you get a whole gamut of product types and it also means a lot of their stuff are things that people don't want to buy. However, you have to think of the experience more like going to something just a step above a rummage sale. But this is a rummage sale where the clothes are new and you can find brand names that are typically exclusive to places like JC Penney, Kohls, Macy's, Boston Store, etc. You can find treasures amongst the trash and get it at about half the price you would pay at a department store. Once you adjust your expectations, Gordman's will be a go to place on your shopping list because when you find even a few gems, the savings will make it all worth it.
Finally, this is the perfect place to buy kids toys. Kids destroy their stuff so paying a premium at Toys R Us does not make any sense for most people. Gordman's has a great toy selection and it is really affordable.
