Here is a clearer, more polished rewrite that keeps your honest tone but improves flow and…read morereadability: I have visited the new expanded location several times now. There are some things the store does very well, and some areas that are clearly struggling. First, the space is much larger than the previous location. There is plenty of room for merchandise, and they seem to have many kind volunteers working there. The furniture and home goods section is organized fairly well. However, the shelves are extremely packed with merchandise, which may be related to the pricing. Many items feel overpriced for a community thrift store, which likely slows down how quickly things move off the shelves. The layout is also a bit confusing. It almost feels like two completely separate stores. Furniture and home goods are on one side, while clothing is in a different area. What makes it more unusual is that you cannot pay for clothing on the home goods side, or home goods on the clothing side. You also have to go outside to enter each section. It seems like this setup requires twice as many volunteers and makes the shopping experience less convenient. The pricing on the clothing side is actually very good, but the organization is quite poor. I found high-end men's shirts, such as Brooks Brothers, mixed in with women's clothing. There were several other similar examples of items being misplaced, which made browsing more difficult. I have visited multiple times before writing this review because I hoped that, after the expansion, the shopping experience would improve. Unfortunately, the store actually felt more organized in its old location than it does now.

This is a thrift store and food pantry. I didn't go and look at a lot of the things there because I…read morewent to pick up an eBay order, but I went in the wrong side first, and they already knew why I was there and sent me next-door. That in itself told me that one hand knows what the other is doing, and it's obviously really organized. Second, when we went in the thrift store side, it smelled clean. On that side, they were super nice too, and my eBay purchase pick up was super smooth. Purchases that you make their go toward providing food for people who need services from the food pantry. Even the eBay purchases go toward that. I feel better about a purchase if something good comes out of it for somebody else too. That's important to me and my family. I highly recommend this essential part of the community!

There were people making a rush for books which wouldve excited me if I thought theyd read them but I'm aassuming the carts full of books were for them to sell. I might give it another go but I'd definitely need to be prepared with a mask and gloves. If there's a strong odor again, I'll have to pass.

They have a large selection of jewelry, if that's your thing. The prices varied and I thought some pieces were priced on the higher end. I purchased an H&M cardigan for 8.00. A bit overpriced in my opinion but I really liked it so I bought it anyway. They have fitting rooms available. It's in a large plaza so there's ample parking.
