However, I HATE going in there because of the smell. Whatever they spray or have as fragrance is so over powering and disgusting. Anytime I go there, I leave with a headache. I won't even bring my child in there with me anymore. It also is so soaked into the clothes that I have to soak them in vinegar and borax when I get them home before I can let my little one wear anything. I've tried running a soak&wash cycle but I can always still smell that smell. Fragrance is toxic, especially for babies and I wish they would stop with the overkill in the store.

Moving here from the lower 48 was a shock. I'm so glad I waited to buy my winter clothes because…read moreyou need very specific clothes to survive up here. I went in to purchase winter boots. My "winter boots" were Uggs and were definitely not sufficient for the extreme cold. A team member helped me select a Baffin boot 3 sizes larger than my typical shoe size. I had no idea they ran so small. You should really try on boots in-person as opposed to online, and Prospectors had the largest selection of boots I've seen at an outdoors store in Fairbanks. I'm happy and my feet shouldn't get frostbite thanks to Prospectors. Go check them out!

yeah, so i'm a thrift store junkie. so much so, that, you know, i don't really like posting my fav…read morestores to the interwebs for all you kids to go and pick 'em over. I'm an old hipster and i can't keep up with all you whipper-gothers. ok, so this is your typical savers-type mega store (both owned by the same company) that has lots of stuff... everyone in there swears they have a 5000 item quota everyday. yeah right! but still decent turnover... the one downside is that everybody in there is totally bizarre. one lady at the registers (who announces over the pa the daily specials and child safety rules) used to live "off the grid" and didn't speak to anyone for over two years. another girl is totally uninterested in being there, like she is doing this to fulfill some court-ordered community service. she'll snap, "nothing's half off for YOU today, it's SENIOR day.!!!" finally, the lady with the beehive runs the place, and is a real whip-cracker. so if you come in, buy the girl stuff or the short guy's trousers. that's right, i say "trousers" and not "pants".

Terrible shopping experience. I visited the store yesterday and had several clothing items in my…read morecart, only to find out they no longer have fitting rooms--despite being primarily a clothing store and previously offering them. Because of that, I considered putting everything back and leaving without making a purchase. However, an employee assured me that I could buy the items, try them on at home, and return them within 14 days if they didn't work out. Based on that assurance, I made the purchase. Today, when I attempted to return the items, I was told that returns were not allowed--only exchanges. Shannon, the manager, repeatedly insisted the employee would have said "exchange," not "return." I'm absolutely certain the employee said "return," because I never would have spent money there otherwise. To make matters worse, the prices are extremely high, and they are a donation based company. So they are pricing items they receive for 100% free for a ridiculously high amount. Overall, a frustrating and disappointing experience. I won't be shopping or donating there again.

The staff were friendly and attentive -- I had a question about a product, and they went out of their way to help me find exactly what I needed. Checkout was quick, and the line moved smoothly thanks to the helpful cashiers. I also appreciated the wide selection of items, from groceries to household goods, all in one convenient location. Overall, it felt efficient, welcoming, and stress-free -- exactly what you hope for in a shopping trip. Definitely a positive experience that makes me want to return.

The owner is fantastic - she really knows a lot about fashion. The care and effort she puts into the store makes it hands down, my favorite place to shop.

Pretty cute little vintage thrift shop on 2nd street downtown. Theyve got dresses, shorts, Jean's,…read morejackets, some earrings, sunglasses and more. It's on the smaller end and I only found one or two things that match with my style a bit better, but I loved looking around. I think I would recommend this place if you had more of a vintage style. I didnt see any guy clothes, but this place would be fun to bring some girlfriends to and shop around. They have several curtains in the back to make some dressing rooms if you want to try things on. 4 stars simply because the selection was smaller and just not my style and I was mostly ignored during my venture throughout the store. A cute little place though.
