We visited this thrift store in Wisconson. When us 4 sisters walked in, the staff didn't greet us. They appeared cautious. There was a large selection of items from musical instruments, appliances, clothes, shoes, craft items, pictures, antique dishes etc. Some items did not have price tags or signs. I asked one of the Staff about the price of clothing and hurriedly she pointed to the signs above the stand; name brand clothing was one of the higher priced items. What is "name brand" in this state? The vintage clothing was on a seperate rack. The drums were priced at $75 set. I asked what included the set and the young woman said "all of these" waving her hand over many drum items. I intended to contact someone who purchases/sells drum sets, but the manager refused to give me their WiFi password-understandably. We spent about an hour looking around. The restrooms were clean and huge. One Staff person was very helpful when my sister purchased a medium sized ceramic wind chime and mentioned that she wanted to ship it to her home out of state. the other Staff person said "no, we don't have a scale". This one specific Staff person said "yes, follow me we have a food distribution area and there is a scale in that room" .She took my sister to the room to weigh her windchime, then offered packing material and a box for the 6.7 pound item. The building facade is brick for storm safety and not much glass frontage. Given they were busy with stocking shelves and bringing in items from outside from local people donating. I felt they could have been more helpful. I ended up purchasing 3 blouses and 2 pair of earrings. Then-because there was a Mardi Gras event going on-we were allowed to pick a plastic toy from which there was a percentage discount on our purchases. read more

I went to the Rusk County Connections thrift store on a whim, I was very pleased with the items I purchased.
