Animal advocates is amazing. It's quite honestly a hidden gem and not a place I would have found on…read moremy own with out the aide of thrifting goddess friend of mine. A small shop not really made for more than 1 or 2 people at a time. It's also probably not ideal for small children. Additionally, mind the sign and open the door nice and slow as there is usually a cat or two hanging out inside and you don't want to let them out. It's has a mix of some clothes and a lot of weird nicknacks and miscellaneous items. The three rooms are filled to the brim and the prices are incredibly low. While it's not the type of place I'd go to fill out my winter or summer wardrobe, but it's great for unique finds.

Well organized and beautiful seasonal setups (Steelers, Christmas, and Hanukkah now).

Great service with attentive staff ready to answer pricing questions and keeping the store clean and organized.

Every now and again I poke back in to check thriftique out and each time I am disappointed. It…read moreseems like they updated their store and now have a bigger "designer" section. This is great if you love spending close to brand new prices for target brands, Zara, and other fast fashion brands used clothing. Prices are astronomical for the quality and uninteresting selection. I found a few items made of good quality materials but half the articles were covered in stains and over fifty dollars. I'm interested to know how they choose to price their items. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket maybe this will be your place, but you can buy the same soup stained sweater for $5.99 at goodwill in the same building. I've accepted it just isn't my cup of tea. On a bright note, staff is always friendly and their music choices are great. The setup of the store is really nice and has a lot of clothes by color, which I like a lot.

I can't really tell if this one or the other was bigger in size. But this one is set up similarly. Rented space packed to the brim with items to browse through. Almost everything that isn't nailed down is up for sale. I mean that literally. My better half was actually excited here. He has been looking for some pieces for a project he was doing. He had a set look in his mind and we just happened to stumble upon them here. Three perfectly big porch columns and one half porch column were just sitting in here waiting to be reused. Other items that caught his eye were old wooden doors that were just prime for the taking. The people were so helpful with us. They allowed us to use a tape measure to make sure of the size of not only the columns but to see if they would fit in my vehicle. I walked down to my car and got distracted, ended up stopping in at the first location before coming back here. They were so helpful in here. They also made sure to point out some other items that might interest us. We mad a mental note of the items and asked if they would take a deposit for items to be held. Turns out they have a layaway type of program. Put a deposit down and they hold the item until it can be paid off or if you need to come back with a larger vehicle. Good deal to me.
