They are…read moreconsistent in what you will experience. 1) scent: really have I experienced that thrift store smell whenever I go into a 2nd Ave. thrift store. This one is the same. So they get four stars for that. 2) selection: the store was well stocked, and I found a few things I was looking for and a few things I wasn't but realize I needed 3) size: I called is a superstore, but compared to the store tomorrow it's about half the size. It wasn't as small as some of the Goodwills but I don't know that I would call it a superstore. 4) prices: as 2nd Ave. always does. There are two colors that were 50% off so if you can find those you'll get some great deals. Otherwise the prices were decent. It seems as though many thrift stores have raised their prices, but I wouldn't say the prices were outrageous or unreasonable. 5) location: it was relatively easy to find, and had a sufficient amount of parking. 6) service: I appreciate the self check out that they offer. And the staff was responsive and helpful when I was looking for a couple of items in the store. Overall, this is absolutely worth a stop, and I will likely be back.

What stood out most was the selection of cookware, most in really good condition. The displays were thoughtfully put together and added a nice touch. Some of the prices were a bit high, but I saw that they offer discounts on specific days. They also have self checkout , which surprised me, but staff was also nearby in case assistance was needed.

There actually are two stores here; one handles slightly more upscale items for around $25 each. Especially for people perhaps losing weight and in an intermediate size, the price is right! Sizes are marked but definitely try things on, as they can be mismarked. Plenty of changing rooms exist, the staff is helpful and on Saturdays, donations of clothing are accepted.

What I can tell you is this -- I came here looking for decent suits and I found *many* of them. Racks and racks full of suits. I tried on around 10, I bought six of them. In that group of six, only *one* will need alterations. That's right -- five suits bought and ready to wear for right around $100. I've been to a bunch of thrift stores in the DMV. Really, look at my other reviews. Bottom line -- if you want real variety in men's suits, I haven't found any place better yet. Yes, maybe some thrifts have *nicer* suits on a per capita basis, but at this store, you'll have a lot of options and if you have a relatively common body-type like mine, you can come away with a full closet if you want it.

Thank you and God Bless You Maria. Now as far as the rest of the shopping experience: I have frequented this location maybe 10 times in the last 4-6 months. Their store is very clean and organized; I like that they keep well abreast of seasonal/holiday decor and seem to have a pretty diverse selection of items, specifically kitchenware, arts and crafts, stationery supplies, and clothes. They also have sections for tools/utilities, electronics, home goods, furniture, and books, but those selections haven't seen too much variance since I've started shopping there. Their prices, as others have stated, are not always thrift store ideal (I personally prefer 2A Thrift down the road, if we're comparing costs), but if you're willing to dig around, you'll almost always find great quality items that make most of the prices truly a steal. Plus if you can time the extra discounts, they have 30% off if you are age 50+ on Tuesdays, 35% off for Military, Police, Firefighters, Nurses, and Teachers on Wednesdays, and 30% storewide for their card holders on Thursdays. Word to the wise: their 7-day return policy ONLY applies to clothing (mens, women, and kids). ALL OTHER SALES ARE FINAL! They offer batteries and outlets to test out electronics so definitely make use of that before buying anything - take it from someone who's been burned before (thanks again x1000, Maria!)
