About
More than 40 years ago Mickey Marden started a business with
one simple philosophy: buy great stuff and sell it cheap. That's
it. His only rule was "Don't buy anything you have to feed."
He thought of himself more as a treasure hunter than a retailer.
You see, he found goods in some unlikely places and in ways
regular retailers would consider unusual: bankruptcy courts,
train wrecks, salvage losses, floods, earthquakes, small fires,
and the overflowing warehouses of the country's finest
manufacturers.
When he started, he was working out of a small Fairfield auction
house. People bought the goods he'd bring in. They told their
friends, and those friends told their friends, and pretty soon he
opened his first store in Waterville. Today we sell bargains from
Sanford to Madawaska!
We're always expanding, but we stay focused on what got us
here: bargains. We've got a lot of merchandise at great prices.
Our intention is, item for item, nobody will beat our price, and
that's the truth.
We also sell everything with a money back guarantee. Some
have said, "They do business the old fashioned way." We just call
it doing business the "right way."
If you're already a Marden's shopper, we appreciate your
business. And if you've never shopped Marden's, we invite you
to stop in for a treasure hunting experience!
