T.J. Maxx & HomeGoods is a very nice store that combines both brands in one location, offering a nice balance of both. It provides an ever-changing selection of high-quality, brand name and designer fashions, along with a lot of nice merchandise and odd things. Customers note that if you see something and like it, you should buy it because it likely will be gone if you return later. The store can be crowded around the holidays and on summer weekends, leading to a wait in line, but any other day is good without too much waiting. The location is described as very pleasant and peaceful, with Ocean County being worth the drive. Experiences with staff vary, with some employees being very helpful, polite, and fantastic, while others can be rude and make customers feel unimportant. The store has also been helpful in returning lost items to customers.
