I am a woman on a mission. In an attempt to find the replacement thrift store (RIP Payne ave…read moreSalval) I flailed my way across Sheridan on foot in search of new, well old, pants. It's close to my regular grocery stores, so I was really hoping this was going to be the place. All I can say is that it's not not the place. Walking in, I immediately came to face a large security footage screen, as if to deter me from theft. The proceeds of the sales go towards feeding and clothing the underprivileged (they say they even give some donations to the people in need, which explains where all the clothes I throw in those red boxes around town go) which you would hope would make anyone with a conscience pay up, though at the prices they charge, I could see why one wouldn't want to. The prices are more comparable to a low end clothing retailer like Walmart than second hand stores I have grown accustomed to. They also had the colored tags, and I looked unsuccessfully for signage to see if it meant any deals. Their website explains the color would make something half off, which must not have been the case today. I combed through the racks, which are sorted by type and size instead of color. I was able to find one cheaper pair of pants to try on, so I headed to the back, where there were two massive unlocked fitting rooms. They were super clean and spacious with a wall sized mirror, a bench and a rack for returns. I could comfortably kick my legs about (yes, kick, as I was testing the durability) and squat down (butt crack coverage) without worrying about hitting the wall. Side quest accomplished. I had also looked through the rest of the store: furniture, housewares, toys and books. I was disturbed to find a used bottle of mouthwash for sale on the shelf, which is mostly the reason why when deciding between a three and a four for this review, I knocked it down. The cashier asked if I wanted to join the loyalty program, to which I declined, watching my total pop up on a screen in front of me. They're rounding pennies now for those paying cash. Which in the grand scheme of things hopefully means that an extra two cents is helping those they serve. I might come back at some point, with more money in my wallet to poke around, but for a place called Heart, this isn't my new love.

I don't know how I never reviewed the store before, but it's been open perhaps three years now? Or…read moreI've been aware of it anyway for about that long. It's on Sheridan, it's much smaller than Savers, Amvets or Goodwill or any of those kinds of stores, making it a very easy place to stop and do a quick run in if you're looking for something or a quick run in just to check it out. Easy parking out front.

But they do all sorts of other things too. Classes on a variety of things. Chances for seniors to get out and socialize with others. Group events. More. There's a yearly fee, but it's pretty nominal if you get out more than 2 times a month and used to use taxis. They work out of a few zipcodes in Buffalo, not yet all. So if you live in one of those you are in luck. The execution is where it falls down a little. Even if you put in your request by their "advance notice" deadlines, at times they cannot find a ride. Which is fine if they let you know a few days in advance, but sometimes they only did that a day in advance. That can lead to some scrambling, especially if you can't really take a taxi for whatever reason. So I love the idea. Just wish they had worked out some of the kinks by now.
