    Some great things at the shop and the customer service by Nayell was great! Thank you

    What a nice little thrift shop. I came to donate some clothing and of course I had to check out the place too. Once you walk in there is a shelf of books and novelties for the home. The clothing is organized by color and type (ie dress, long sleeve, etc) to make it easy to shop. There's also furniture that isn't broken and absolutely reusable when you walk out of the store.

    Really nice guy in the donation center today! We came here because the Good Will bins were full and the guy there recommended this place. There is plenty of parking in the back and a gentlemen greeted us immediately. He offered us a receipt too. The donation center is open from 10-5 PM. We will be back when we have more to donate. :)

    See all

The service is excellent in connecting with what one needs. You can set appointments for showers one a week, doing laundry one a month. Always ask questions. I highly recommend this place of service.

I've been here from groceries before and I saw online that they offered rental assistance (I lost my job and still don't know how I'm gonna pay this month rent) So gathered all the documents that they listed were required, I printed out the form on the website, filled in out and gave it to my landlord to complete, got my bank statements and all my other documentation together. (the website just states to drop the documents off in person or mail them) So I called to see if I could come in to drop everything off and that's when I was told, I had to have been receiving other services from them for at least the last 6 months to qualify for rental assistance and also they were not accepting applications until September. SO WHY WAS NONE OF THAT ON THE WEBSITE? Why are there detailed instructions about how to apply and instruction to mail the application without the rest of the information? I EMBARRASSED myself by taking the form to my landlord and having him sigh it all to be told it was for nothing? It's ridiculous and actual insanity that they they don't give ALL the information online. It definitely makes me think they say one thing to get funding... and then tell the community something else. SHADY beyond belief.

    Okay, I've had some time to chill out and I think I can more eloquently express my issue with this…read moreplace, and why I will never, ever go back. First, they claim this is a boutique, yet I've found more fast fashion here than anything else, including old Forever 21. The clothing is not curated whatsoever, or really even organized more than the basic long sleeves together, pants together, etc. Boutiques curate their clothing, display and merchandise it, and usually pay for their clothing (though not in all cases). This place is a small thrift store, but filled with women from a local church who give church ladies the reputation we all know about. Judgy, holier-than-thou, etc. I was here when they got a large donation - yes, donation - from the Johnny Carson Estate, including a ton of his wife's clothing. The pieces were vintage and in great shape, and all designer. That's awesome, good for them! Why did they fill the store with only those items, and attempt to sell them at the highest possible point in the range of their retail value? Because typically their clothing is actually pretty reasonable, this was a super surprise to myself and MULTIPLE other people in the store, all of whom were commenting on it. When I asked what was going on and if someone had lost their mind pricing items in a thrift store at $2k plus, a woman who didn't work there started attempting to belittle me for 'not knowing fabric' and not knowing the value of things. Lady, I worked in a wardrobe department for years, and resell high end vintage clothing. Further, even if I didn't, who on earth speaks to a stranger that way, and especially in a thrift store? Belittling people for not having money or knowing designer clothing is bad enough, but doing so in a store that is supposed to be for those people to be able to cloth themselves is just plain disgusting behavior. The woman in question was absolutely friends with all the women working there, and I already know that birds of a feather, so I won't be coming back to this place as I don't want to ever support women who behave like this. When I called the woman out for her behavior, she denied it, then said 'this conversation is over' because that's what narcissists do when they can't defend their actions. That woman was a disgusting jerk, and she gives that place a bad name - a name I believe it deserves, unfortunately. Avoid if possible!

    So many wonderful finds at this shop! Glassware, dishes, costume jewelry, shoes, unique…read moreknick-knacks, books, CD's and loads of clothes. They are always shifting the merch around to make the shop even more appealing, and something always seems to be on sale. As of right now, every Thursday from 1 to 6pm, almost everything in the shop is half price. And such pretty, inviting windows!

There were people coughing, talking to themselves wandering through every aisle, which made me feel uneasy and constantly looking over my shoulder. I originally came to exchange an item from a different location because I thought this store might have a better selection, but that wasn't the case. There is also what looks like a homeless encampment along the street side of the store. Inside, there were people hanging out at the dining tables (for sale), which made it hard for actual shoppers to move around. I even saw at least two people stuffing items into duffle bags. The exchange process was quick and easy, and the staff handled that part well. However, the store really needs some type of security at the door to better manage who comes in and prevent the issues happening inside.
