I am going to go ahead and give this thrift shop 5 stars simply because whenever I am in town, if I…read morecan't get in there I know I'm missing something. This is a thrift shop but does not carry furniture or large items. Most of the store is women's clothing in all sizes from Petite to Plus. There are small children's and men's clothing areas. There are also children's toys, books, purses, jewelry, shoes and some accessories. There are also several small areas with linens, collectibles, small appliances and kitchen wares. One negative is a Keurig I purchased with a tag that it works, but it didn't. It turned on but that was it. I imagine they checked it came on and assumed someone would not donate a non working item. But I paid $15 and consider it a donation to their charitable contributions. OK so the clothes are pretty much exclusively in very good condition or new. They do mark up designer brands and new items with tags. I paid $25 for a Michael Kors dress with tags, and $8 for a new child's outfit. They have easily accessed dressing rooms and a speedy check out process. They offer a frequent buyer card with $10 off when filled. The store is crowded but very well organized. Clothes are hung by type, size and color. So if I am looking for a white long sleeved shirt size small, they are all hung in one place. One positive/negative is their amazing store window displays. They decorate the windows seasonally with the best of what is donated. It is incredibly enticing to see all the wonderful items that might be available inside. The catch is that NOTHING in the window is available for purchase until after the season is over. The Christmas windows items will be available January 9th at 10 am with the line forming early. So if something you have been wanting appears in that window display you will need to be on hand at a very specific date and time, like an estate sale or auction. Because I don't even live in the area, I pretty much don't even look at the windows since I can't buy anything there. I see from other reviews the store windows cause lots of angst for shoppers and for staff apparently. But since I know the deal I just accept it. One review from 2019 talks about a children's play area. I have been shopping here 10 years at least, and there is no children's play area. There is an area of toys for sale. When I was in last week 3 small children were tearing up the toys in there and screaming into a Frozen karaoke machine. When they put it down for a minute I scooped it up and bought it for my granddaughter. Yes, it is an alcove but every toy, book and game is priced so obviously for sale. Who in the world leaves a 2 and 4 year old unsupervised in a thrift shop toy sales area? So consider that if you read it below and wondered about it.

I've been trying to find the time in my hectic schedule to pay this shop a visit which is no easy…read moretask as they keep strange hours and close daily at 3pm. Some unexpected time off from work allowed me the opportunity yesterday, but my visit was disappointing. I honestly was expecting much more from this store especially since other Mennonite run thrift stores in the area are superb. First off let's talk about that parking lot. It's a congested, tight mess. Once you get in IF you find a spot good luck getting out. Don't even attempt it if you're not good with backing up or in a huge vehicle. There is street parking but it's also hard to secure and metered. Secondly I was surprised by the lack of current styles and the high prices on adult clothing. Being that Lititz is one of the coolest small towns in America one would think the donations would be too. Most of the ladies clothes looked like it was donated from nursing homes. Quality was ok but the styles were just plain old. Kids clothing was better but very limited. Overall I felt all of their departments were limited except for books. Toys and kids clothing was priced well for thrift but I felt everything else was high. Than there's the ladies at the counter...bless their hearts because they're probably volunteers but....they don't listen for crap. A long winded customer in front of me was engaged in conversation with the TWO cashiers. I was only half listening but heard her mention no less than three times that her grandchildren were twins. When she whipped out a picture both of them replied "are they twins"?????? Were you listening?!? So when it's my turn to cash out I handed the one an item I didn't want and asked if I could give it to her. She acknowledged that I didn't want it, only to ring me up! Both woman were probably only a decade older than me so you can't blame old age! I did buy a blender which I thought was a decent deal. It had a note that stated that it worked but anyone that buys second hand appliances would want to try for themselves. It's not uncommon for something to "work" but have motor issues (thus the smell) so I asked if I could plug it in somewhere to see. Cashier #1 was like but it works and acted like I asked her for her firstborn child. A second employee had the same reaction. No one was accusing anyone of lying I just asked, politely at that, if I could see for myself. Their reactions, especially surrounded by other customers was embarrassing and unnecessary. Given the lack of things I would want to buy, the size of the store, the prices and style of adult clothing, their inconvenient hours, the hot mess of a parking lot, and overall lack of professionalism in their employees this is one thrift I'm gonna pass.

How did I not know about Adamstown, PA?! The self-proclaimed "Antiques Capital USA,' stretches…read morealong route 272 for about seven miles. My favorite stop was the Adamstown Antique Mall. Contrary to reviews, I found the shop's personnel to be friendly and accommodating. Prices -- set by individual booth-owners -- are sometimes better than competitive. Likely due to their semi-rural location, merchandise is different - more interesting - than the urban antique malls I'm familiar with. I have a number of collections. Since I've downsized, I don't actively look to buy. BUT, if I find a deal, I take it. See the Roseville pottery I posted? The piece is pretty big, in perfect condition. I paid $44, including tax. (Elsewhere it would go for well over $100.) The last full week of most months, dealers throughout town host "Extravaganzas" with deals galore ... or so they say! I'll let you know, when I return in the spring.

I was lucky enough to find one, and be here during open hours, and was able to browse. This is a cute little store, that sits up off the sidewalk. You have to take a few stairs and enter the store itself. It reminds you of a time when neighborhoods depended on storefronts like this. I didn't have anything in particular that I was looking for in here, but I made my way inside to browse the store. I did a quick once over of the clothing and found myself in the section of the store that offered home goods. That was until the vinyl caught my eyes. It wasn't much, but I checked every single vinyl they had to see if I might want it. There weren't any that tickled my fancy, but it was nice to look. I continued to browse the rest of the store. Chatted with the lady working that day and made my way back out.

If it was, I would NEVER thrift again! This place is a claustrophobic nightmare! First, you walk up a flight of stairs. According to previous posts, it's supposed to be different booths but I feel there is no way to discern that. I felt if I bent down I would break something or push something over and have a domino effect. It was just junk; rusted tools & stuff most people put in the trash. Could you find a gem? Maybe, but my people with me today seriously doubt it. I'm sorry to the owners. They have so much space & with little organization it maybe could be a great place to shop? Not sure. Most of what I saw was old, rusted, or dusty/dirty though.

The reason I'm giving this place two stars is because the lady who works there (petite young girl with long brown straight stringy hair) was so rude to my daughter. She scolded my daughter by telling not asking her to touch a display that had the door open. For the record my daughter had no intention of touching, she was showing her dad. The lady jumped in and told her not to touch it. I was thrown off by the way she spoke to our child that we just left. Definitely won't be back which is a shame because we love thrifting as a family.

I found out about Revive from a Facebook suggested page. I was surprised there was a thrift store…read morein downtown Ephrata that I knew nothing about considering I'm up there frequently. As per their Facebook page they are described as the owner had a dream to purchase property, have her own store, and provide affordable housing to women in need. This store is considered for profit, however she states that she uses the funds to renovate the upstairs apartments in hope to help women escape bad relationships by providing affordable housing options. I support her vision. I was lucky enough to visit the store a few weeks before Christmas when the parking meters were covered. Normally there's a fee for street parking however I'm not sure if it's because of the season or covid that street parking was free. It's a bit hard to secure downtown and difficult to back out of since the spots are slanted but not impossible. Inside the store has an overwhelming amount of stuff. Not quite hoarder level but there's alot to take in. The property is a series of small rooms, you walk thru one to get to another, with lots of nooks and crannies. It is a challenging space to set up for retail and she does what she can to make it organized. It is hard to walk thru some areas and definitely leave the stroller and big handbag at home! Some areas have nice displays and she does have a good eye for showcasing more precious items. Overall there's every department that a larger thrift store would have, just separated a bit. What surprised me was everything was yard sale prices - like .50 cents and a $1! While some of the clothing items were dated I did find some nice kids pieces that I couldn't leave without for .50 apiece! Many of the house and glasswear pieces were vintage and still priced at yard sale prices. I honestly don't know how she makes any money. On the porch was a free clothing pile which I didn't investigate. The owner was very friendly and let you walk around and explore on your own without being intrusive, but was available to help if you needed her. They are cash only so be sure to bring some and definitely allow yourself some time as this is not an in and out kind of shop. Worth adding to my thrifting rotation whenever parking is available.
