Initially established as an Army & Navy store in 1956, Marshalls now has more than 1040 stores spanning 43 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Marshalls is the nation’s leading off-price retailer. So, what does “off-price” mean? When department stores order too many products, or designers make too much, our buyers swoop in to negotiate a deal — bringing their top labels to our stores for a whole lot less. So everyone wins, especially you.
