Polish, situated in Bangor, is a consignment shop that has gotten quite the buzz. You can seriously find a whole array of secondhand items there, which is cool. Seems they cater to everyone: women, men, and even kids, plus they also have furniture! People are always talking about finding sweet deals on name brands there, and who doesn't appreciate a good discount? It's kind of the perfect spot to freshen up your closet or home without obliterating your bank account, you know?
I have heard from other shoppers that they love the selection and how organized everything seems. I can't confirm, but many others have noted that they find really high-quality, designer items at prices that don't make them hyperventilate. The staff apparently is also super friendly and welcoming, which, honestly, makes all the difference. A few reviews I noticed do mention some issues with their consignment practices; It is a mixed bag since they can sometimes be a little cold and standoffish. Still, I heard someone found a London Fog coat for under $16, so you might find something you want to buy.

#2 Express Factory Outlet
663 Stillwater Ave, Bangor, ME 04401
Express Factory Outlet in Bangor has some real potential if you're looking for something stylish. It's got women's stuff, but also a little men's section, which is a bonus that you don't always find. I've heard you might even come across higher-end fabrics there, which is kinda rare around here and I like that idea. I saw there's great options and some people finding prices that are just right—the clearance section being particularly good and well, who doesn't love a good deal?
Apparently, the selection is pretty solid, and people rave about the helpful employees; so answering questions and pointing you in the right direction are good. The fact that it's clean and organized is another plus, since nobody wants to dig through piles of clothes, right? Some people do think it's a touch on the pricey side, and others wished the staff would pay a little more attention, so that might be something to keep in mind when you go.

Maurices in Augusta seems to be a popular spot; word on the street is they have pretty trendy stuff.

People really seem to dig the customer service there; you hear about how the staff is super friendly and helpful, and you know how much that matters. Plus, I've heard they keep it pretty safe in there, you know with everything going on. They also have deals going on all the time, and the Maurices card can save you some cash, which is always awesome.

City Drawers in Bangor seems like a great spot if you need, you know, *real* help finding bras. It's a specialty store, so the focus is really on intimate apparel – bras, underwear, shapewear, all that jazz. From what I'm hearing, they offer professional bra fittings, which is a game changer, especially because how often are we actually wearing the right size? They have a men's section with boxer shorts too, for the guys, if you're into that. If you're trying to find intimates in Bangor and wanna treat yourself, City Drawers could be worth checking out, but just note there may be construction on the street.
The reviews are pretty glowing, it sounds like the customer service is top-tier, with employees such as Anji, Rebecca, Christine, Dee, Emma, and Alane being mentioned a lot. Apparently they're super knowledgeable and can make you feel comfortable. People are saying that these women aren't judging and really take the time to explain how a bra should fit, so you aren't walking around with the wrong size on. While the prices are probably more than what you'd pay at a big department store, it seems that most customers think it's justified.

Sometimes I swear I find things I didn't even know I was looking for.

People are consistently saying really nice things about Paul's customer service, though. Reading the reviews, you get the sense Paul and his staff really know their stuff and are willing to go the extra mile to help you find what you need, even getting the right fit. A few people mentioned being pleased that the prices was very reasonable for the American-made products, which is nice, and a lot of customers prefer giving their money to a place like this instead of a giant chain, which is completely understandable.

DXL Big + Tall in South Portland, yeah, it's definitely the spot if you're looking for clothes for men with bigger frames.

They've got stuff for everyone--men, women, kids--and it's not just clothes; you can find shoes, some camping stuff, even luggage if you're lucky.

Word on the street is the Eddie Bauer Outlet in Augusta is pretty great for scoring deals on decent clothes. From what I've gathered, they have a good selection, for both guys and girls and a bunch of outerwear. For the name brand, the prices can't be beat.
Honestly, people really rave about the service there, it seems the staff is super helpful and patient. Also, it seems like that loyalty program is where it's at, they're always running some kind of promotion. They tend to stock bigger sizes, which is nice for those of us who are a little taller than average and you can typically find the place is pretty tidy and organized too. A few people mention they don't carry petite sizes, and that the selection isn't always amazing, but generally, most folks seem pretty happy with it.

Old Navy in Bangor has, generally, a pretty good rep for offering lots of different clothes at prices that won't break the bank. You can find things for everyone from toddlers to adults, including petite sizes online which is really awesome, with styles ranging from casual everyday wear to dresses and jeans; they're known as a solid option for kid's clothes, too. It seems like shoppers really dig the sales and discounts they have, especially when it comes to jeans or scoring deals for back-to-school shopping.
People consistently give Old Navy props for its sales, reasonable prices, and big selections; I think that’s why it’s a go-to when families are shopping together and for back to school. Plenty of folks talk about the staff being so helpful and friendly, plus they usually keep the store really clean and organized. Their sales people aren’t pushy but can give you a heads up on the great 50% off sales. However, a few people have pointed out some things: sometimes, prices at the register aren't always what they expected, and returns or vouchers can be a bit of a hassle. I've also heard it said that it’s not always the best if you are looking for plus-size clothes and they have limited styles for baby and toddler boys.

People have said really nice things about the staff being super helpful and friendly, plus that they offer some serious style guidance; some reviewers mentioned Brooke, Alaina, Hannah, Kristin, Annabelle, and Maknzee specifically, which is always a good sign. Some even mentioned the staff would give suggestions on other vintage stores in the area. You will also enjoy the layout of the store, as it has been described as well organized and with a fun vibe. I've heard that it can be a little pricey, the music can be too loud and some reviewers say that the staff aren't always the friendliest, but overall the positive reviews outweigh the bad.

Portland Dry Goods sounds proper cool, a spot in Maine focusing on, what I'd call, curated collections of clothes for both men and women. Apparently they go in for stuff that can handle the outdoors, plus accessories, too. I've heard they stock brands like Filson, Barbour, and Carhartt WIP, and that they try to mix city styles with those Maine winter vibes, which sounds kinda interesting.

Lane Bryant in South Portland is a go-to if you're looking for plus-size clothing, bras, and even panties.

People who go there seem to say good things about it; like they have great prices, and the staff is pretty friendly which is always a plus, and that its super clean. Also it's pretty easy to find things. I heard that, because they're always getting new stuff, that every single time you go, it's actually different and you might even see designer things or gifts on the cheap. Apparently they also have decent parking, quick checkout, and those employees are helpful, though there has been complaints sometimes about long lines. I mean, what store doesn't have that issue? I guess they do get disorganized, but that's probably because people are shopping, and some people have said that the men's clothing section could be better, and that not all people get treated fairly from customer service, so I'd probably keep an eye out for that.

Though, I have seen a few people mention that it can get a little tight inside, and that returning stuff could be a hassle, but overall, the general feedback seems to be really positive.

JCPenney in the Bangor Mall is a pretty standard department store, and people say it stocks everything from clothes for everyone in the family to jewelry and housewares; plus, they even have a salon. I heard their portrait studio does good work, too, which is kinda cool if you're into that sort of thing. Overall, it sounds like you could probably find whatever you are looking for.
Word on the street is they always have sales and coupons, especially on clothing and shoes, but finding things can be tricky. Several shoppers have specifically mentioned Janice, Angelica, Carol, Racel, Ingrid, Kathryn, and Susan as being super helpful, so maybe look for them if you go. Honestly, JCPenney brings me back to going shopping with my mom when I was a kid, you know? However, some folks say the store needs a good cleaning because it can get pretty messy, and it seems like there aren't always enough employees available to help everybody out, so your mileage may vary.

Burlington in Bangor offers some pretty sweet deals if you're willing to hunt, especially on clothing, baby gear, and even a few home things. It's nice to be able to find some name-brand pieces for less, and honestly, sometimes their baby section prices can't be beat considering how much other places are charging for tiny stuff. I saw that a lot of people are happy with the helpful staff, a clean and well-organized atmosphere, and the good prices.
I hear you about the store feeling smaller now, it sounds a little less impressive than it used to be. The overall selection may not be what it once was and maybe they've been having trouble staffing the place lately. However, it still seems like a good stop if you are trying to save a buck, especially if you have kids. Just prepare yourself to look a little harder to find the hidden gems!

Old Navy down in South Portland? It's definitely got a huge selection, I will give them that. They have stuff for everyone in your family, I'm talking babies to adults, plus sometimes I see some pretty cute gender-neutral clothes. People seem to think it's a solid place to get affordable clothes, especially those jeans they have on sale.
I've definitely heard that they're good about sales, and the staff were often cited as friendly and super helpful. A lot of people also dig that the store is tidy and easy to navigate, which is a major plus when you're trying to wrangle kids. I get that they have online ordering with in-store pickup which makes things way easier, right? Then again, some people mentioned sizing is kinda inconsistent plus prices may be trending upward, which is just not a good look.

American Eagle's pretty popular around Augusta; everyone seems to be able to find something they like. They definitely nailed it with the jeans; they're supposed to be super comfy, which is saying something, considering I usually live in leggings. Plus, it’s a go-to for current fashion, I guess, even though it might be aimed at a younger crowd than me now... though I did see that one person said their daughter shops there so maybe not all young people.
I've heard the people who work there are really nice, and that's always a plus, right? I’ve read a lot of good things about the staff being friendly and helpful, that's such a game changer, especially when you're trying to find the right size. Apparently, the store is also kept really clean and organized, shelves fully stocked--maybe a bit *too* perfect if you ask me. I saw one person online mentioning snagging a thermal shirt for only $12 during a sale; makes me wonder if I should check it out. Some people complain about the prices, so hopefully there will be a sale.
