Advantages: you can find some good bargains, wide range of 'designer' labels Disadvantages: beware the lesser labels priced higher than they should be
Guys, Looking for genuine Designer clothes at ‘streetmarket’ prices ? – Look no further than TK Maxx. Get in there, get the gear on and become an instant ‘Babe Magnet’.
The first time I remember visiting a TK Maxx store, I was amazed. The store itself – at the Galleria Shopping Complex in Hatfield, just north of London, was BIG and the racks of clothes spread far and wide. But they were a mess. It was amost like ... ...were ‘designer’ labels on offer at rock bottom prices, but frankly some of the stuff looked second-hand and at best looked very ‘out of date’. It looked like a dumping ground for all the ‘big name brands’ to offload their past season’s outfits. Not just last year’s but some shirts and jackets looked like it was the previous decade! Right, so fashion changes and I’m hardly anyone to talk about ...

Advantages: Fantastic range of clothing available Disadvantages: No loyalty card scheme in operation
One of the best things of shopping in places far away from you normally shop is the discovery of new stores. In June 1998 my wife and I took the train to Croydon for a day’s outing. I had been to the Whitgift shopping centre before but this time we came across T K Maxx.
Subsequently we have discovered T K Maxx stores in Ealing, London and in the Princes Quay shopping centre in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire.
The first thing to strike you ... ...area of floor space available. Hand baskets are available but I prefer the mini trolleys, which look quite cute. There are signs, which say that over 10,000 items are brought in every week.
The store in Hull is where I shop the most. Really there is something for everybody in the store. On entering the store the first items to catch your eye are discounted everyday items eg sunglasses, cosmetics, wallets, watches, presents for Easter, perfume etc.

Advantages: Huge choice, cheap Disadvantages: Not many sizes of same garment
One of the great things about shops like TK MAXX who sell past season clothes is the price of the products, kinda like Cheshire Oaks were I can find a pair of Versace jeans for £60! If only TK MAXX would stock the same brands as other retail outlets then it would be the best value shop around.
Generally I would say you would save about 20% on the recommended retail price on most products.
The reason TK can sell their goods for such low prices is ... ...they aquire for a cheap price. Therefore passing the savings onto us! The goods are not faulty factory rejects either which means that they are even better value. Its also good because they stock designers such as DKNY and GUESS, and top sports brands such as NIKE.
Their range of products is quite large, they cater for all age groups, babies, teens, men and women. Providing a large selection for each age group. The kind of garments that are available ...

I am six feet and four inches in height. To the "liseur moderne", that is one metre and ninety three. It is possibly this feature which has led to an aversion to clothes shops, shoe shops and any other bloody shop where size matters. Sigmund Freud would hold that it happened in infancy: maybe my mother took me to Mothercare in a pram, only to be confronted with sharp intakes of breath and shakings of the head when I was measured for a blue romper ... ...shoe shop and remove a suitable left shoe from the rack. It is Saturday and half the population of Southern England shares the floor space with me. Through the maelstrom I push and approach Donna. Donna is new. I know that she is new, because her name tag is written in crayon. I ask for "this in a twelve please". Donna, bless her, looks down and no longer sees a shoe - she sees the hissing remains of an unexploded bomb, or an unexpected body interred ...

Advantages: Affordable brand names, huge selection Disadvantages: Badly laid out
On entering the Cardiff branch of TK Maxx there is a sign which states "Once you've discovered our prices on famous brands, there's no turning back."
Well, this is true to a certain extent, as long as you have the patience to sift through rail upon rail of clothes to find that little gem of a bargain you are hunting for. This is because the layout is by size, not by brand, colour or any other category which might make more sense.
But the bargains ... ...clothes are last season's designs, something which doesn't really bother me, especially when it means that they tend to be about 1/2 the RRP. I bought a pair of Rusty shorts for £12.99 (RRP £35.00). Other brands on offer include Billabong, Quiksilver, Nike, Adidas, DKNY, CK, Kangol, Speedo and Firetrap. The selection is huge. Yes, there is plenty of rubbish, but if you have 1/2 hour to spare you'll almost certainly find something.
TK Maxx's catchphrase ...

Advantages: Cheap, branded clothing Disadvantages: poorly displayed and arrangement of products
...be a TK Maxx shopper? TX MAXX can hold some of the best bargains in designer names for men and women. The prices are low and real bargains can be found. But be warned! Only Men with lots of will power and patience should enter this store, those with a phobia of shopping when with thier girlfriends should stay away. The reason for this is because TK Maxx is set out like a big jumble sale. Clothing is split into types (ie tops, trousers, shoes ect) ... ...long rails all tightly crammed together. Most of the stuff is either in extra large or looks like the back end of a rainbow, however there is good stuff in there if you keep searching. I had to search for a good half an hour untill I found somthing I liked, but it was worth it. I got a funky DNKY top for £16 when the recommended retail price was £30. So as you can see it is possible to find stylish clothes at affordable prices, but you have to be ...

Advantages: There is a multitude of Items in TXMANXX(shop) Disadvantages: This is a new store in East Kilbride, and it on two floors with a lift. The clothes are a bit of a jumble
Wehave just got a new shop in East Kilbride, inside
there is a range of goods. On the ground floor there is a range of kitchen wares,tables,large globes of the world. There are lots of kitchen wares,knife and fork stands and table ware.
Also there is lamps,very classy,and kitchen cloths.
On the other side of the store,which is quite large, there are mens wear, not too well arrranged.
They just seemed to be thrown into the pile, not too appealing,but ... ...installed a lift which is very handy as there are a lot of disabled people in East Kilbride.
