| - This place is no joke- imagine if TJMaxx, Marshalls, and Ross all joined forces into one mega-store. It already exists, and it's Burlington. I didn't realize this was another discount-markdowns store, but I did have an inkling of an idea that they stock more than just coats.
Apparently people are crazy about this place- it's fairly common for all of the (several) open checkout lanes to have long lines snaking into the middle of the store. The lines move fairly quick, but there are just always that many people around, it's nuts.
Like a thrift store, stock varies but some departments are reliably great: jewelry/accessories (cheap, lots of selection, not my style but good for gifting), shoes and purses (they even have a locked security cabinet with "high end" brands), home goods (especially framed prints and candles). Don't even get me started on clothes, there's a massive amount to look through, you're bound to find something you like, and prices are reasonable. Less impressive departments include athletic equipment/workout gear (it's only like a rack, honestly), cosmetics (many open containers), specialty weird food/gifts section (discoloration and questionable expiration dates), and furniture (exclusively end tables and small shelving units, small section).
Other than the ridiculous lines, my only other complaint is lack of organization- some items are found in multiple areas of the store, so to get a true idea of whether they have something, you may have to canvass the entire store- ain't nobody got time for that.
