Posted October 16, 2009 how we do it

A Peek behind the curtain

As the nation’s leading off-price retailer, Marshalls has buying power.  This means that our merchandise strategy can be summed up in two words: opportunistic buying.  While other retailers buy merchandise several times a year, our buyers travel to market over forty weeks a year, sourcing from 10,000 vendors in 60 countries.  These wide and frequent market trips allow us to buy closer to need and be smarter about trends.  Also, because we are making deals up until the last minute, we are in a good position to negotiate a better price with vendors, and pass those savings along to our customers!
