New Beginnings Thrift Store Review…read more I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it misses the mark as a true thrift store. Prices are VERY high--often at or even above retail for many items, which defeats the purpose of shopping secondhand. You're better off buying brand new in some cases. The selection of quality items is meager, with most of the inventory being either outdated, worn, or simply overpriced for the condition it's in. It feels more like a boutique trying to cash in on the thrift trend than a store genuinely serving the community with affordable options. If you're looking for real bargains or hidden gems, this probably isn't the place.

Oh my gosh, just go! I found so many things that I didn't know that I needed. The reviews are…read moreright, some of the prices are high, particularly on furniture, but they are willing to negotiate. I found LOTS of items in my thrift store price range. The store is huge, but well organized.

We felt we had gone to every single antique shop and thrift store in Houghton Lake area but somehow…read moremissed this one because you turn left onto 55 off of M 18 towards 75 as opposed to turning right going through Prudenville into Houghton Lake. Easy to miss but DONT. This is an incredibly organized merchandised and clean building. The staff is so warm and sweet, small talk at check out was so natural and positive. Soft lines (apparel, footwear, linens, pillow) is on the right side. The middle section that connects the two buildings was the fragile items.. glassware, candles, glass home decor. Then the left side was everything else! Everything is so well laid out which isn't the typical for a thrift store. The furniture is all in great shape and priced to value. Seems they filter donations in a way. Tons of Disney movies and outdoor sports gear... clothing was blanket priced (I.E. all ladies tops $2 all men's pants $3 for example) unless otherwise signed or marked. Got some great stuff today!

I'm sorry to report this store appears to be closed. I had a great time shopping here last summer,…read morebut when I returned this week, their sign was down, and the space is empty. The address on this Yelp page is actually a residence across the street that doesn't seem to be a store. I'd love to hear otherwise or find out where this shop-owner might have moved to! It had a great selection of vintage items from milk glass, to quilts, to MCM jewelry and housewares.

The best new antique/vintage shop in the area!! I highly recommend you stop in just to look-…read moreExperiencing the way Kara has everything displayed is just a visual treat in itself. And, yes, of course, I have been bringing in some of my own treasures each week to consign. If you're not dropping in there at least once a week you are definitely missing out!! Darrell
