I ended up wandering into the many of the shops categorized rooms like sports, tools, appliances/electronics. Nice shoes and boots gently worn. BUT THE PEOPLE! I've just moved here and struck up my first conversation with some locals Toni and Kurt who were very kind and told me about GV's small community. David the cashier was super chill and I embarrassingly started tearing up cause people treating each other like people... oh my heart. And I also met Sarah, another employee who looks like an anime character- so was her energy!

A good antique shop is defined by a good picker and the owner is just that. Plus there's a large selection. We were hunting for art and found more than we expected.

They had some really nice brand name clothing items for decent prices. The customer service was wonderful! The employees were very friendly and easy to chat with. The manager went above and beyond by bringing me a shopping cart when she saw my arms full of the clothing I was finding and sorting through! One small disappointment to me was that the identity protection roller stamp I bought was not pre-filled with ink. I would have preferred if it was. I think it will come in handy, but to be honest I have not used it yet, because it wasn't filled with any ink (it comes in the box so the customer can fill it up). All in all: If you are in the area, or live close by, give it a try! You will find some nice items for sale. I posted a few photos of items they had.

And honestly the prices were really decent on top of them ringing up my items cheaper than was on the sticker.

I was made to feel like a criminal by the manager during today's visit. After purchasing my item,…read morethis older Caucasian woman dressed in a blue top (who I was later told was the manager) approached me in the parking lot and curtly demanded to see my receipt. I produced it and she compared the price on my item with the receipt, presumably to ensure I bought it (and didn't steal it or swapped tags with another item?). Then she handed it back to me without a word and started to walk back into the store. Nothing along the lines of "thank you, have a nice day" or any courtesy for patronizing their business. As she entered the door to the Restore, she swung back around and snapped at me about my car being parked in the handicap spot if I'm not disabled. I personally am not, but my mother-in-law is, and my mother-in-law was still checking out her items, and we had the disabled placard hung up in the car. Again, not a single word after this. She did tell me my trunk wasn't closed fully though, so I appreciated that. I guess she had to have the last word? I was made to feel like a criminal. I went to the counter where my mother-in-law was checking out and told her how the manager just rudely spoke to and treated me. The staff at the counter apologized and I replied it's not their fault. It's obvious to me the manager hates her job, so for the sake of ensuring continued business by well-meaning customers, she should either show some respect or let someone who can smile take her job.

One star for Julie's attitude. 5 starts for the LOADING crew!…read more Who knew that at a store such a the habitat restore you have to make sure to use perfect vocabulary with their highly educated staff. Julie was so incredibly UNHELPFUL when I came in today to pick up my items we purchased on Tuesday. She can't seem to find the correlation between the words pickup and loading and was so condescending when I had to spell out for her I was here to pick up my items. When she finally was able to compute that, everything went fairly smoothly until some moron blocked the parking lot with their trailer and then she came out and asked me if I was carrying my furniture I bought to my car...lol I would pay someone to do that for me Julie, if that was the case. Regardless of my awful experience with her, and her disgusting attitude, we got our items we paid for and are happy. Hopefully Julie sees happier days soon.

But over the last year or so, not so much. They've gotten really picky and the second you pull up someone comes barreling out to "inspect" what you're bringing. They seem to constantly come up with reasons why they won't take something and just generally act like they're doing you a favor rather than the other way around. I get they don't want people dropping off junk, but we always brought decent stuff. Not like we were trying to pawn off a bunch of broken-down garbage on them. If you just want an easy and pleasant donation experience, go to the Goodwill in Auburn. They take all your stuff with a smile and haven't forgotten that they're getting it for FREE so they'll make a profit no matter what they sell it for.
