Unfortunately, as much as I tried they fell flat for me. I feel like it's someone's unorganized storage of ebay listings...and it could very well be. I don't think they know what they have in there and nothing appears to have any kind of organization with the exception of Christmas and artwork. I found a piece of artwork I did like, but was deferred by the prices (ebay prices, higher than thrift, more in line with an antique store) and the fact that it was stored so unresponsibly that it was damaged. I was greeted upon entry, so the staff (owners? who sit in a little room off the entrance door) were friendly. Everything else was a miss, from the lack of cleanliness, high prices, weird configuration of the parking, weak floorboards upstairs, and just the fact that the majority of what they sell is high for item and condition. Most items did have condition issues, with the exception of some newer (Target?) items on the first floor which were priced at retail. I suspect they came from a pallet purchase. If you're looking for deals there's much better places in the area.

I always find great ideas, decorations, and gifts for the holidays. They open in September (around Labor Day) and close Christmas Eve. They reopen during Memorial Day Weekend for a sale too. You can still buy their Christmas Trees from their farm (and original store location) in Orangeville, PA. The location is in an old feed mill, providing a great rustic atmosphere. Country at it's best. Two floors. Not handicapped accessible for the second floor, but use stairs.

However, despite being a loyal customer, I have been treated with disrespect and hostility by staff. Issues I've encountered: Items being resold unfairly. Being labeled a "nuisance". Staff smiling in your face, then turning rude, irate, and dismissive. Being told, "If you don't like it, you can leave." No paying customer--let alone one who has supported this store significantly--should be treated this way. If this is how they operate, they should reconsider their approach to customer service.

This, of course, delighted the NMA who howled with laughter as he showed it to me via the magic of FaceTime. Fortunately we ladies are resourceful. I had some clothing I tossed in a tote bag last minute "just in case it got cold", others leant me a few items. I admit though I wasn't wholly sad to go buy clothes, because it meant a trip to a thrift store. I love thrift. Thanks to this wonderful Yelp community and my handy-dandy Yelp app we located this Salvation Army thrift store in downtown Bloomsburg. There isn't a Salvation Army Thrift near me so this was the very first store I've been to from this organization. Parking was street, meters, not challenging though to find a spot in front. The store looks like a charity thrift store, which is really promising. Stores that look like boutiques or retail locations also generally have pricing to reflect the 'upscale' impression. Not totally unusual in those stores to see clothing priced above what it was when it was new. Right. This was well organized, rows and rows of clothing, signage on each row with category. There were also decor and home goods and such. My quest though was to find clothes. Jackpot! Got a really great pair of leggings, black stretchy pants with PoCkETs, a lovely dressy Dana Buchman knit scalloped top that I could not resist I don't care if it's hand wash and block dry and a cool pullover top. I lightly cruised the home goods and found an awesome little carved horse that I have on my desk. The staff at checkout were super nice and friendly, I unwittingly had a few sale 1/2 price items bonus and I walked out with cool stuff for $11. This store is OG thrift, roots thrift, classic thrift and I love it for that. They're about filling a need in our community, not maximizing profit that goes to "programs". I'm down with that. I'd visit again when in the area and would choose to go to another of these stores when I come across. *Note: The Air B &.B we stayed at had a washer and dryer, which was used before wearing anything. Always wash your purchase. One of my friends also got some scores in clothing at the store, pants for her work that she needed for like $1 each. She was thrilled. Always wash your thrift items, even New With Tag. Pro tip.
