Alright im fairly new to the Marshalls/TJM lyfe but live in a wealthier suburb of socal but work takes me to the backwoods often.

By far, I have had much greater luck finding higher quality items in the smaller/less affluent towns. I think the reason is the local clientele doesnt know/want to pay for the higher-end brands that aren't as widely known, while residents of the wealthy suburbs are more likely to know the brands and can pay up.

As an example, in the Marshall's by one of my favorite anytowns, I have found:

Omorovicza

Necesaire

Sulwhasoo

Missoni

Maison Margiela

Nest

Laneige/Biossance/Olaplex/Tirtir not locked up

On the contrary, I never find any of the above brands at the store closest to me (wealthy suburb), or it is behind a barricade with barbed wire.

For clothes, it's different. There's a runway store close to me but it's in a slightly less affluent area [still nice], but their clothes are probably worse than the location closest to me even though the one closest to me is NOT a runway store.

Anyway, today it happened again where I left the runway store empty handed cause I didnt feel like I needed anything that was there, and was reflecting. Anyone feel the same?

Hello,

I am in the process of looking for my next place and have been searching high and low for a decent spot, and keep seeing a lot of availability at "The Summit", and to a lesser extent, "Sancerre", which are right next to each other. I've toured a few of the spots and they look good but I am wondering why there is such a plethora of inventory when it seems everywhere else is not available? Has anyone lived here, or can provide any insight?

Thanks!
