4 reviews for C-Mart
I wish I can give C-Mart a higher score, but for some reason I had images of grandeur. Somewhere along the lines of the famous Rose Bowl flea market had come to mind. Unfortunately, that was not even close.
They do have some pretty nice furniture for cheap, but it's very hit or miss. The clothing was definitely abysmal, at least for the men's section. I'd rather go to Filene's Basement. Overall, not a bad place, but the 10 miles I drove to get to Landover, MD was definitely not worth it.
The best thing to come out of a Sam's Club since Petit Quiche in bulk! Located, in an old Sam's Club building, centered in an area I believe to be the mysterious and fabled PG County, you'll find C-Mart! Walking through the doors, the smell, temperature, and aesthetics sweep you away to such glamorous places as "Flea Market," "State Fairgrounds," and perhaps even "Food Bank." I know...if I were a small, meth-faced, member of the Black Eyed Peas, I would have broken into G-l-a-m-o-r-o-u-s. I would also be dating Josh Duhamel, therefore I'd have better things to do than go to C-Mart but that is beyond the point. ADHD rears its ugly head.
If I lost you earlier...GOOD! I am still having an internal battle about reviewing this place because I don't want you designer-grubbing Washingtonians to beat me to any of the C-Mart "treasures." I also don't want you to know that my Gucci suit may or may not be from C-Mart. Okay, in at least one case, it is. SERIOUSLY! $600.00 for a $2200.00 Gucci suit! Dolce, and Prada, and Helmut Lang, OH MY! Walking through the "Ladies" section, I passed a Zac Posen skirt for a sensible 200 smackeroos!
In all, we bought 6 pairs (Paul Smith, RL Purple, Michael Kors...Not KORS of Belk descent, Michael Kors- the real dealio!) of pants, suits, and a Juicy bag for my sister. Booo-ya! Love me some C-Mart. C is for CRAZY good deals, C is for CORNY reviewer, and C is for CUT - what I'll do to you if you take any 40R jackets or 32/32 pants in the Prada, Gucci, or Dolce varietals.
I felt rather torn writing this review.
ON THE ONE HAND...
C Mart does have a nice selection of designer duds and furniture to dig through. The store definitely is feast-or-famine, and you can probably go in once a week to find different treasures. When I went, I found an incredible Betsey Johnson skirt for less than $20. Hooray for me!
ON THE OTHER HAND...
If anyone from the Pennsylvania/Ohio area is familiar with Gabriel Bros., there is definitely that vibe going on. Don't expect a caring attentive staff, and be prepared for anything.
FOR EXAMPLE...
when trying on a pair of pants in the dressing room I glanced down as I was taking them off to discover that someone had tried them on before me. I believe her name was Aunt Flo and she had left her signature in the crotch of the pants lining. I wish I was lying to you, dear reader, when I tell you that someone who tried these pants on previously HAD THEIR PERIOD IN THEM and PUT THEM BACK ON THE RACK. Alas, I am not. Not-so-hooray for me.
So to somehow conclude this disgusting tale, C Mart rates high in having bargains, but when you go double up on wearing panties. And for god's sake, check the pants BEFORE you try them on.
this location is now closed!
