    Great place to find vintage and gently used quality items…read more Super prices on furniture and housewares Always has holiday merchandise as you enter the front door! Pleasant staff and courteous loaders

    I have visited this establishment numerous times. Previously, I would expect to leave the shop…read morehighly satisfied regardless of a purchase. The previous owner ensured a wonderful experience by hiring staff whose behavior demonstrated a strong passion for upholding humility and compassion within themselves, or at least during their shift, cleaning the shop as it was needed, setting any given item's price well below market value even if it is name-brand, and much more that is not mentioned here. The owner I reference was remarkable; someone who displayed the traits that anyone would assume they would notice in an individual operating a store of which it is claimed that all proceeds go toward victims of violence. It is unfortunate how much the current owner has voided the establishment of the values upon which it was built. The current owner, who is a short, older female with brown medium-length hair, lacks kindness and selflessness. Rather, it seems this individual must value economic gain and anything else concerning only what may benefit themselves. It is difficult to assume the same employees who worked for the previous owner also value the same as the current, so I assume the current owner has either strongly encouraged her workers to focus on profits and if bored, acknowledge any feedback from guests; or, she must have hired new staff to make the domestication process much easier, as it would be presumably less difficult to teach certain skills than to alter an individuals' process of thinking, then establish a preferred process of thinking. Additionally, the upkeep of the shop is less than decent: the (what I assume is) hardware section is hoarded to the extent that it would feel claustrophobic likely for any given person, labeling for many collections of items is non-existent, I assume all clothing donations go unwashed due to debris such as mud being left on the clothes, and anything that has been opened and should be labeled as such (i.e., lotion, hand sanitizer, OTC medication) is not labeled as opened. I understand this establishment is a thrift store, and I certainly would not expect perfection or anything similar; my main concern is how the current owner presents herself and attempts to pose the shop, and how the owner and shop are; one being the direct cause of the other's common assignment of negative regard. They are both deficient. Please, do not waste your time at this place. I recommend you donate and make purchases there once it is under completely new staff and management. What a tragedy it is to bear witness to what used to be a classy, reasonably priced, peaceful, and loving place turn into what it is now...

    I'm never one to put down a thrift store, but I will NEVER step foot in here again…read more This used to be brown roof thrift store until they were recently bought/rebranded with classy upscale resale. My sister and I stopped by this past Saturday and found some really nice stuff in the window display. Specifically a little Prada bag and a little coach wallet. I stepped inside and asked if we were allowed to purchase, which I was told the manager said they could not sell those items until Monday. Keep in mind, they are on display and they are all priced, but whatever. Then proceeded to go this morning, approximately 20 minutes after they open. Checking the window display and seeing the bag is NO LONGER THERE. I ask if I can purchase the items on display, when I am told that I cannot. That the woman that runs the window display (not the manager now!) will not be selling them until later this week, and she would be there tomorrow and I could come back if I wanted. I proceeded to remind her that she was the same girl I talked to on Saturday and that she told me I could come back to purchase them on Monday. I knew they had to be full of shit because anyone that has ever worked at thrift store knows that they want to rummage through everything before they sell it to the public, and I knew that's exactly what was happening. I then proceeded to get my mom to call and they tell her that we can purchase the clothing items, but not any products in the window display. At that point, it is not worth going back because it is now under poor management and people who can't be honest with you about the shit that they are selling. Do not display and price items and then try to say they aren't for sale!!! Then when I come back they're mysteriously gone??? ZERO STARS.

    This used to be a good place to shop but since they transfer owners the prices when double high!…read moreRegular T-shirts from Shen and Waltmart are $9.99 and UP, Ross dresses for up to $24.99 shoes varies on style but everything is way overpriced, You have to wait for the cashier to open the bathroom door. They will follow me around the store the whole time I was there, they make me feel like a thief. I don't recommend this place at all,
