Second time at this location. Located in a shopping complex with another thrift store across the…read morelot. Since my last visit they switched up the hard goods, no more sort by color but instead sort by item. Inventory was low. Walked out empty handed both times. More attention needs to be given to sorting as many items have condition issues which are not taken into account when priced. Color of the day is 50% off and like other locations bring your own bags required. Heavy on clothing, not alot of selection for hard goods and linens.

Since their move to Wayne Ave., I am a fan of Chambersburg Goodwill…read more Chambersburg has one of the nicer Goodwill's that I've been to. The store is large, bright, and well-stocked. All of their items, even housewares, are organized by color. You would think that would make shopping a pain, but it's actually a surprisingly good way to sort stuff. They have "tag days" that discount items based on the color of their pricing sticker. Stuff at this Goodwill is a bit expensive, so you'll find the best prices on those days. For a thrift store, Chambersburg Goodwill isn't a bad place to browse.

Had the pleasure of visiting this location my thrifting weekend in Chambersburg the end of Jan…read more2023. It's located downtown, with metered street parking, with another thrift store in close proximity. Street parking was hard to secure the day of my visit due to an ice festival, but there is free street parking several blocks away. The front half of the store is antiques, large furniture and the like, all neatly displayed. These items were priced comparable to an antique store. As you head to the back you encounter household goods, linens, collectables, and such. They were heavy on dishware and cooking items, but they were displayed nicely, and all in good shape. Pricing was average, but the selection was expansive. Some of the misc items, such as a vintage Florentine box in bad shape was priced high for the condition, but most items were very reasonable. At the very back was a curated section of farmhouse decor items. I scored a handpainted decorative muffin tin with florals for only $1.50. By the register was an empty cage, which I assumed was for a cat, since this store benefits the animal shelter. They also had a nice selection of animal toys, supplies other than food, that appeared new, priced the same as a pet store. Past the register is a whole other side selling jewerly, clothes, shoes, toys, books etc. So the store is basically the size of two downtown shops in one. If you head towards the back of that side things tend to get a little messy and less organized. Overall I would say that side is organized but other than jewerly, care has not been put into merchandising. I didn't spend much time at the clothing side that day, but did look at the jewerly, which had a very large selection, way more than other thrift stores I've been to. Four stars because the antiques were a little pricey, the toy section was weak, and the parking situation. The positives are the housewares side for sure, their mission, and jewerly selection. I'd stop again if in the area for sure. Sidenote: I would not consider this store stroller or wheelchair friendly as some of the isles are tight. Glass is displayed low so be mindful if shopping with children.

Big thrifter here! Unfortunately this was not a hit. Prices are just below retail value and items…read moremarked "new" don't appear that way. There are some mid-level products available, but all valuable items are priced just below market value with no negotiation. Besides the products, the customer service is poor with an unfriendly and inattentive staff - wouldn't come back here.

The people who work here are beyond rude. I drove FOUR HOURS to get a dining set. The seller said…read morethere was a small rip in one of the seats. I get there and find pretty much all of the seats to be slashed. I requested a partial refund and was told I just shouldn't take it, AFTER A FOUR HOUR DRIVE. While loading the car one of the employees came out and asked me where I had driven from, I told her Brooklyn. She proceeded to insult the city saying she could and would never live there because of the smell amongst other things. Meanwhile, and I'm not saying this as a dig, the surrounding area smelled strongly of manure. The rest of their inventory is tacky little things that no one needs and that you could find at any goodwill or Salvation Army. Unfriendly, deceitful, unnecessarily rude staff and establishment. F-.

My trip to Chambersburg in Jan 2023 was one of those trips. With list in hand of all the places I planned to shop, the Hope Center was first due to the way I had my route mapped out. Located downtown, with metered street parking the parking was hard to secure due to it being the ice sculpture festival weekend. Hubby dropped me off. The inside is small, and not overly displayed or decorated. The workers are nice, elderly ladies who might be volunteers. Inventory was on the small side, as the space is not huge, but clean and organized. Pricing was really reasonable. The large display windows also have goods for sale and you're able to climb up and help yourself. They had a few small furniture pieces there as well. There were some vintage items, mostly glasswear that I was not interested in. Linens were lackluster and disappointing. I did not look at clothing, but what I did see was cheaper brands and dated styles, like Walmart quality. I scored a nice vintage plastic mirror for $8 and a few crochet doilies from the display window. The lady ahead of me had a lovely ombre pitcher and glass set from the 50's, also for $8. They even held my items while I shopped next door since the mirror was large, as there is another thrift store nearby. While I wouldn't make this a regular stop, I would stop again if in the area. Parking was a big issue, but maybe not so much when the festival isn't going on.

Really surprised this thrift store wasn't on the Yelp radar, as it's pretty great! I found out…read moreabout it's existance from an employee at another area thrift store. Located in a strip mall, parking is easy, and the store is bigger on the inside than it looks on the out but still on the smaller side. It's set up like a boutique, has various depts just on a smaller scale. The displays are nicely arranged and the prices are like those of a yard sale. I didn't see anything damaged or not of good condition. There were a good bit of vintage, mostly glassware, and some larger funiture pieces. Clothing wasn't as plentiful, which was fine with me. The employees were friendly and helpful. All the housewares appeared to be washed, as the glass sparkled. Throughout the store is cages with cats, very lazy cats, who don't even get excited when you approach their habitat. Still it was fun trying to interact with them. The cashier mentioned that they let them loose to wonder the store at night. My bf thought the store stank, but I didn't smell anything and their cages were neat and tidy. Obviously the proceeds from this store benefit the animals, and you may even be able to adopt the cats that reside there on the spot. I support their mission, liked having felines in the store, felt pricing was fantasic, and found several great vintage items for resale. It's a winner in my book!
