Marden's — Local services in Scarborough

Minutes after walking in the store I had to check my weather app to make sure I didn’t just miss a cyclone that blew through the area. Every aisle consisted of a dizzying combination of crushed and water damaged product trying to be resold, empty containers of stolen product and reshopped items just strewn around like the local monkey zoo was hired as the restocking team. Based on the setup of product and hazards just sitting in the middle of aisles there’s a fairly strong chance the store manager is dead and the crew has been trying to keep the store running without telling anyone for quite a while now. It’s amusing that despite the absurd amount of “black globes” riddling the ceiling that normally would contain cameras to aid in asset protection, I easily found over 200$ worth of stolen product empty containers in my short visit furthering my belief everyone has really given up hope on this store. Until something changes, if you’re a kleptomaniac treat this review as a 10/10 must visit asap. Still unsure who’s more at fault the lazy entitled middle age white women who shop here or the management team who ignore their store’s cleanliness under the guise of “WE GOTTA GET THE DEALS OUT FOR OUR CUSTOMERS” but if something doesn’t change soon this will be the easiest transition into a new Scarborough Landfill...

So, we generally enjoy our shopping experience but today... Me, my husband and our daughter went in with a list of things to check for, literally had only grabbed some snacks and noticed some coffee. The few bags on top of the other cases were kind of mangled so my husband went to open a case underneath. An older man yelled at my husband telling him to stop. That customers aren't allowed to open the cases. That if he wants the coffee there are already ones out... Mind you, nowhere does it state that customers aren't allowed to open the cases. He then continued to stand and stare at us as we left. We left immediately, purchased the few things we had in the cart. I know that Marden's doesn't care but we won't be returning. Didn't enjoy having to explain why we were yelled at for opening a box to...

I ❤ Marden's. Over the years I've found absolutely amazing out of this world deals at multiple different Marden's(Biddaford, Scarborough, ect.). You have to commit to the "Scavenger Hunt" style of shopping, but is is most definitely worth it!👍👍👍👍. Hard working, friendly and helpful staff. The return and exchange policy are fantastic. If you purchase clothing that is dirty or stained and are unable to get the stain out you can return the clothing. Just make sure to hang onto the tags that came on the clothing, receipt and arecwithin the return policy time line. If you dont have receipt and item you want to return has been marked down in price you will definitely not be reimbursed price you originally paid for item. Above ALL remember " Should have bought it, when I saw it,...
