Tk Maxx

[Ann]

The layout in these stores drive me mad, everything all crammed together on hangers and nothing displayed nicely on models - I have yet to buy any clothes from here. There is lots of space to walk around each shop so wouldn't you think they would have a few more hanging rails to leave more space to push the coat hangers along? Does anyone else feel like this - or is it just me?

[DJHawkes]

yes, it is called density trading

[Ann]

Do you work there Dotty?

[Buenchico]

Ann:
Please don't ask Dotty where she works. She'll sell you a Kobo eReader, in the blink of an eye, if you do!

[DJHawkes]

lol Chris, no I don't work there Ann, I am in the industry though and have been since 1972

I have just seen this "related question" come up underneath my post and it seems ABers were saying exactly the same about TK Maxx in 2006 (well before I joined)

I like TKMaxx...I visit regularly,and always find good deals....more important than the layout any day.

[Ann]

LOL No I wouldn't be swayed - I still love old fashioned books .......

Maybe I would like it better if they had better choice in larger sizes 18 - 20.

[pastafreak]

There used to be several rails of larger sizes in mine-but they seem to've cut back.
Maybe not enough demand.

Theres lots of room because they want to attract all. People with pushchairs, disabled with buggies, also wheelchair users. There also is a shop 'Law' that there must be accsess for people with disabilities.
When you get older you will appreciate the extra room.

Watch out at TKMaxx - don't always believe what they say. Last winter they had a super-duper John Partridge all-weather jacket on sale that I fancied. The label said RRP £235, our price £99. At home, I checked out the John Partridge website and saw that their RRP was actually £175. Several websites were offering the same jacket at £82. I've since seen a few similar RRP discrepancies at TKMaxx.

TK Maxx has improved.Please don't forget this is a discount shop and it's all about turnover to make a profit. This is not a 'haute couture" shop although some very nice items together with very good prices can be got. Be a little patient. You are getting the chance to purchase some decent stuff without the usual high street mark ups.

go when it's quiet, when you have time enough to sift through, there are some bargains to be had if you are a little patient.

I do agree with Ann86, although I was pleasantly surprised when visiting the store in Colchester. It was easy to search the rails and I actually bought an item.

I like TK Maxx, the layout can be a little frustrating if you hate shopping (like I do), I tend to like the stuff they stock (mostly) but have found them to be quite expensive these days.

OH and I go to TKMaxx a couple of times a year, foraged through and found some real bargains in the larger sizes - I got my Regatta rain jacket for a fraction of the price. Their home section is good, too.

..and PS I guess clothes only get put on models when a shop is selling more than one of that item - TKMaxx often only has one of something. Models take up floor space and someone has to dress them - most of TKMaxx staff are on the tills not on the floor.
