Everything is in great condition, prices are awesome and the store is well organized. The only bummer - cash & check only.

This review is based off my experience a few months back. I'm a tad behind on my reviews but…read morefortunately still have my notes. While thrifting in the area the furniture outside caught my eye. Although this store wasn't on my thrifting radar, once inside I had a case of Deja vu and believe I might have been here in the late 90's. Not really a thrift store, it's a bit strange in the merchandise they carry, as well as layout. There's room set ups consisting of used and antique furniture pieces, many priced much higher than they should. Off to the side is "buyout" type merchandise (think Ollie's) - which was reasonably priced. In the back were older items, well past their prime that perhaps were from a yard sale or picked from someone's curb on trash day. Further in the back is new, modern (although some a bit tacky) furniture that's cash and carry and/or rent to own. Even with the displays the space feels like a warehouse filled with stuff. Somethings were admittingly unusual (throne chair, suit of armor), but most were mundane or dated items you could get anywhere for less. There's a distant smell throughout like musk and mildew. The cashier/front desk had a pawn shop feel and I wouldn't be surprised if that's how some of the items were obtained. There seemed to be some "regulars" hanging out just for something to do that didn't appear to be making purchases. There's no one on the sales floor to assist you. So while I love thrifting and hunting for unusual pieces, this store didn't cut it for me. It's suffering from an identify crisis for one, and has too many things going on to really know for sure what it is - antique store, yard sale, salvage, etc. Prices were unreasonable for the majority of the items for sale, customer service non existent, and I wouldn't pay them another visit.

There are many unique items here from several generations, that can be found lying around for the curious at heart to discover.

I discovered the Opp shop while doing a thrift google search of the area. Little did I know it was…read moreliterally right down the street from a Goodwill I've been to twice. How convenient! It's located in a deserted, large shopping complex with the anchor store vacant. The lot is expansive and this store is on the end next to the large vacant property. For that reason I would be leery of going at night alone. Otherwise approaching I could see it was a store with a substantial amount of real estate. Furniture pieces were visible thru the window. I couldn't wait to get inside to explore. Is it the cleanest, most organized store? You can literally see dust balls float across the floor. No...but its full of vintage items as well as pickers. How do I know? You can witness them on the sales floor doing pricing research on their phones while holding tight to an item. I would guess that the majority of the customers were resellers. For that reason, if you see something you like, whether you think it's valuable or just valuable to you grab it. Take a look at that complete set of vintage mushroom canisters I came across. I know they are a highly desirable collectable. I left them for someone else to discover and enjoy. What I would consider highlights for this store is the furniture pieces. Large, small, new and old, like antique old (see pic). The large solid wood wall unit was complete with shelving and lighting and priced at only $299. I'm sure it was a few thousand new. If you dabble in decorative painting and furniture upcycling like I do you'll want to add this store to your thrifting stops. Housewares and decorative items were plenty and arranged better than some departments. I scored some great pieces in this dept that have been on my "thrift wish list "for some time. Toys, crafts, and misc were a huge mess, with piles on the shelves and on the floor without any consideration to order. Prices are very affordable, only a step above yard sale for most items. Linens were stocked well and included a lot of vintage and handmade pieces like crocheted afghans. Clothing was a miss for me. Although I did see they have dressing room the department was so full and clustered together I didn't feel like routing. Shoes I felt were priced high, one price depending on item (see pic) without consideration to brand or condition. DVD's were labeled as half off, but I didn't see a price for comparison. The book department was large and popular. On the day I was there they were constantly adding new items, including furniture pieces, and the pickers were standing ready. This store is part of the Opportunity House, a non profit that offers social services to disadvantaged families, a mission I truly support. The employees were all nice, especially the young man at the register, who provided me with a loyalty card - get it hole punched for each purchase. So while this might not be the best looking or best kept store, it's a great place to hunt for vintage and current items on the cheap.

They shoved everything back in the bag all scrunched up without folding it at all. There is a sign in there that says they like to buy American eagle, they have so much American eagle stuff in there. It's almost like a full American eagle store. I don't understand it, that stuff is so cheap to begin with why would you buy it secondhand? My biggest problem with the store is the employee that rang me up was so rude. Honestly, this seems to be a problem all over the country with Plato's closet. I don't know why in the three states I've lived in the employees are consistently so rude. I recommend Fashion Cents Ephrata! They are nice, helpful, always greet with a smile, and they are so busy they take a TON of clothing and even let you know what you should bring back and sell in a different season! And yes, they buy clothing other than American eagle.

The spacious floor plan is well kept which makes it feel less cluttered than many other thrift stores I've visited. Prices are a bit higher than I would have expected to pay for used items ($9+ for a used dress) Dressing rooms are stalls on the main floor that do not provide locks which makes for a rushed and uncomfortable try on experience for fear of someone opening the door- intentionally or otherwise. In conclusion, I would visit here again if all other options (ie. Ross, Marshals, Etc.) do not work out.
