New Beginnings Thrift Store Review…read more I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it misses the mark as a true thrift store. Prices are VERY high--often at or even above retail for many items, which defeats the purpose of shopping secondhand. You're better off buying brand new in some cases. The selection of quality items is meager, with most of the inventory being either outdated, worn, or simply overpriced for the condition it's in. It feels more like a boutique trying to cash in on the thrift trend than a store genuinely serving the community with affordable options. If you're looking for real bargains or hidden gems, this probably isn't the place.

Service - satisfactory. Selection- For the size of the…read morestore, selection was decent. Not every section or type of clothing had a wide variety of merchandise and/or sizes. You just can't always get both in a small town. Value- honestly, this is where Goodwill gets dinged. Overpriced. Most of us know their exec's are overpaid and they have had a rep in the past of loball wages for disabled workers. As someone who works with that population, I should probably boycott/avoid Goodwill but, also working in Ed., we have to shop the thrift stores. Reality bites, am I right? ‍

This is a wonderful little shop. They have a bunch of those topographical (3D) wood carvings that…read morego so great on the wall. They are also at pretty decent prices, too. I've seen them in Tahoe for almost double the price. Primarily an apparel shop, there are many fun options to show-off your life at the lakes. Ceramics, melamine plates, playing cards, tumblers and canvas bags. We came away with a couple of cool 3D's for only $99 a piece, Great Lakes hats and a super impressive cork map of the holy land. So, you see, it's not all about Michigan lakes. They have a smaller selection. But more than enough. The young fellow there was playing some old school Epic and bent over backwards to help us. All in all a great shoppe. 02/24

Decent gift shop with some unique giftware and home decor…read more I assume this shop is somehow connected to the Grandpa Shorter's gift shop down the street, just based on the name. I stopped in on vacation, mostly because the window display seemed kind of fun and interesting and the signage indicated they sold antiques. Well, I didn't see any antiques (total bummer), but I did spy some cute decorative home accents, crafting items, gift ware and seasonal stuff. Apart from that, the shop stocked a lot of "boutique" baby gear, too, including clothing, toys, accessories for the new mom, and stuffed animals. Admittedly, much of the baby gear was quite cute, but way overpriced considering it's for infants and they're only going to wear most of those clothes once or twice. I wasn't super impressed by the level of service, which seemed non-existent. Some items weren't clearly-priced, which I found a bit annoying. Other items just seemed highly marked up. While a lot of it was nice, I just didn't think it was that nice, you understand? More or less, I'd say I wasn't bowled over. They did have some lovely Petoskey Stone jewelry and similar trinkets along that line as well, however, but then every gift shop downtown has those. For a small boutique, it was crammed with merchandise, maybe a bit too much so. It was hard to really scope out anything very well when everything was a bit too crowded. I kept thinking I was going to knock over a tightly-placed display or something. On the other hand, what they did sell seemed to be an eclectic mix, coupled with some very cute things. Unfortunately, everything that I was interested in didn't seem to be clearly priced. What gives? The person behind the counter seemed too busy and was engaged in conversation, so I didn't bother to stick around any longer to find out what I wanted. I felt like I was interrupting the employee who was ensconced in a deep conversation with a friend. For me, bad service is a turnoff, so I walked out. If I'm up that way again, and I definitely plan to be, I'll probably give this tiny boutique a second look because it did seem promising, but if there's no real improvement on the service front, I'll just walk out empty-handed for the second time.
