Department Stores in Portsmouth, VA

“I love TJ MAXX...great selection of clothes, toys, and home goods to look through. I could spend hours looking and buying if I had the money to support it. The staff is so friendly and they stay open later than some other stores, if i need a last minute present i forgot about. They also have giftbags, wrapping paper and cards for those occasions too. Their prices are cheaper than most department stores.”

“Everything you might need. The uniform section usually doesn't have the more popular "average" sizes, but if you need 48 extra long trop pants, you're in luck. Plenty of medals in stock always. Other non uniform Coast Guard apparel, great as gifts for supportive family and friends. Decent snacks, some electronics. Oh and there's some alcohol in the back, you won't be able to miss it.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by this store. It is located in a rough, run down shopping center where most stores are dirty with unhelpful associates. Shoppers World, however, breaks this mold. The store, while showing are, was clean, well organized, and well stocked. The associates were friendly and helpful.This is a discount store so there is a variety of items, including a large clothing section. Think of a “Big Lots” type store. If you are looking for a discount store, I recommend this location.”

“Gas gas. Save 10cents on the gallon..food shopping store was so busy , no shopping carts,you had to go to customers car to get a cart. Lots of bargains. I do recommend thisocation for shopping needs”

“Whoot Whoot! Outstanding Customer Service from EVERYONE we encountered. Katherine, the cashier in the front area of the store, deserves a Sunshine award. She brings joy to her customers with full-force enthusiastic zeal. This store is super clean. I mean, not an aisle or item on the racks are out of line. The glass counter displays are glistening in the sun. Yes, this is a military store, and everything is ready for inspection. I was proud of the exchange. I'm impressed that they kept it in such great shape. I visited this exchange as a child, and that was quite a while ago - heehee. They sell clothes, electronics, food, small appliances, hardware, alcoholic beverages.”

“Csshiers were notvthe best in the World but the store was clean and layed oit fairly well. Not as good as the one i usually go to but for some reason that store was closed today.”

“The place has EVERYTHING but the con is that navigating through the store can be a chore. It feels cluttered and hard to maneuver. Items aren't always where you'd assume they would be, which can he frustrating.”

“I hadn’t been to this location in a month but when I do go there the employees are never rude to me like other comments but I can vouch that the meats are not as fresh as they need to be and the self check outs are always dirty but the one thing stopped me from going so much is the price switches they put it’s 19.99 but it’s 24.99 and by law they have to honor it and they don’t .prices and meats need to be worked on and you never see a mgt there at all”

“I needed a trailer hitch but had been unable to find one as it was not where Walmart indicated that it should be. But on the next one over.

Whenever I need seed for my African grey parrots I come here. Are fruits and vegetables always fresh my birds love that not to mention I do also.”

“There's a new Walmart greeter at Frederic Blvd Walmart, and he's awesome. He seems to be one of those "extra mile" people who goes above and beyond what is expected of a job. Most greeters would politely greet the customers as they push their cart with a crazy squeaky wheel through the sliding doors, or some greeters may simply manage a slight nod. But Ed attacks the customers with a greeting that lets them know he MEANS it. As a shopper who is accustomed to the casual smiles and nods, I temporarily jumped out of my skin when Ed shouted at me as I walked through the door. "HOW are you DOING???!! ... HAVE a great SHOPPING EXPERIENCE!!", he yelled, tossing in air punches like a little league coach. Once I peeled myself from the ceiling and accepted the change, I gave him a thumbs up. People aren't always happy when they have to go shopping. We are tired. We have already battled a portion of the day dealing with people who don't appreciate us. And I admit, I don't spend enough of my day appreciating people for what they do or just who they are. A simple smile from across the room is enough to keep our weary selves going through the day. Smiles are free! We are social people, and we learned this important fact more than ever during the Covid-19 lock-down. We are still practicing some of the restrictions we began over a year ago. Simple smiles today are difficult to recognize under the mask. I joke around with people, but half of what I say is misinterpreted because they can't see my facial expressions. Have you TRIED hugging someone six feet away? I feel like we're back in elementary school with classmates accusing me of having cooties, only now they pull out the hand sanitizer and bathe themselves in it after I hand them a pen. So, when I walked into Walmart today, greeted by Ed; and as I continued to shop, listening - and quietly laughing to myself - as he greeted new shoppers strolling through the door, I recognized it as a time to stop and appreciate people around me. Not just Ed, but the cashier who rang us up, the worker on the floor who apologized for being in my way, when I was preventing them from doing their job, and all the unseen workers who make my shopping experience easier by their hard work. It was an uplifting experience for a hum-drum day that started and ended with Ed. I guess you could say Ed put the beat back in my drum. On my way out the door, cart loaded with goodies that took no time depleting our bank of money that took weeks to earn, I noticed Ed was a no-nonsense type of guy. He doesn't appear to waste the company time taking water breaks; he brought his own. And as I walked toward him with receipt in hand, Ed shouts, "WHAT have you got for me?! LET me SEE HERE!" I handed him the receipt to prove I didn't steal the groceries. He didn't pretend to look at the receipt and count the purchased items to make sure everything added up (nobody falls for that); Ed simply took the receipt, glanced at it and handed it back with "HAVE a nice DAY!! COME back AGAIN!!" I WILL be returning, and each time I do, I'll be looking forward to Ed's greeting! Next time, I'll be more mentally prepared to keep my feet on the ground. Thank you, Ed, for a pleasant shopping experience, coming and going!”

“I've never shopped at Kroger before, that being said, I was delighted to see how many options they give you. The produce is fresh and well displayed. The isles are huge so you don't have to squeeze around other shoppers. My only complaints are the prices. They are more expensive than other grocery stores but have more options. I may go back, but in this economy my wallet will not condone it.”
