My father goes there for lunch. It was always a wonderful, uplifting experience for him Lately it's bad, very bad. Used to be an acceptable lunch. Now it's peanut butter & jelly with the bread so soaked through w jelly one can not even hold it for it not falling apart. Nevermind he can't have peanuts And yesterday a thin elderly lady who is new said to pick through a bin of ROTTEN BANANAS unsanitary & disgusting. I'm praying that whoever made these changes prays for enlightenment. A slopped rice w msg , rotten bananas are Not anything to give out! Maybe secretly the mgmt wants to stop the homeless & elderly from getting the one meal they count on This is very very sad. Unsanitary at best read more

So sadly the Verizon home internet didn't work at all in our house. It was extremely difficult to return the equipment by mail, they sent us the wrong size box and no return label, so I went to this Verizon store to try to sort it all out. The manager and young lady who helped be were very nice and very helpful- thank you! So 5 stars for the store (3 stars for Verizon customer service haha) read more

So we pulled in the parking lot at 4:24. There's an older white headed gentleman with a white beard standing in the open door smoking a cigarette. OPEN sign is clearly displayed. He sees us park and steps in and turns the sign to closed. Now, we knew we wouldn't have much time but him literally turning the sign to closed when it wasn't even closing time is highly disrespectful to the charity not to mention us as customers! We make the trip from north Alabama to Tampa 2 times a year and always make a point to stop at that thrift store. So give thanks to that old crusty man standing in the doorway smoking his cigarette and "closing" the store before time to close. Go ahead and finish your cigarette before you clock out!!‍ read more

The Shepherd Center is not just a store; it's a ministry Money spent there goes towards feeding the poor and homeless

So much to choose from inside (where masks are required) and more outside in the flea market (masks optional)! I got 6 children's books for $3. Inside, I bought some Halloween items for 89¢ each (makeup and treat baskets). The employees are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable or excellent. Hand sanitizer is provided by the cashier. Warming: cash only! Note: this is the THIRD time I've written this review. Why isn't it staying??? read more

The Shepherd Center - Outside - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

People are very kind & the selection of goods are high quality. New clothing, all sizes & nick nacks. Always a good shopping day! read more

We've been here several times before. The selections were good and the prices were decent but lately the prices are above retail on a lot of items. I cannot justify spending $79 on a used dress! A $79 silverware set that has missing pieces. They need to get back to reality on their prices. Also,the place has a leak from the roof and smells like mold or meldew. read more

Holy cow! The prices are insane. Staff lacks a bit too. $6.99 for a 4" resin Santa with a broken hat. $19.99 for costume bracelets. SMH

Large thrift store- housewares, clothing, furniture. Like many similar stores...timing is everything. Stop in frequently to see new items as there are always new items available. Lots of cool vintage items for your home. Facility was clean and spacious, mask worn and required for shoppers. read more

This resale store is amazing. 50% off sales all the time. If anyone is speaking negatively about this store and the prices, they clearly are not reading the signs as you walk in that say, "50% OFF EVERYTHING!". And let's not forget, the proceeds from this store go towards the Hope Center next door that helps thousands of families, the elderly, the homebound, Veterans, those without a home to get hot and cold meals virtually every day of the week. They offer a whole lot more too. This is also not a "Thrift Store", the signs clearly say it's a "Resale store", and people donate because they want money to be made to help their neighbors and those in need in our area. Not to mention how hard everyone there works and many are volunteers that do it out of the kindness of their own hearts. I shop at many resale and thrift stores in Pinellas County and hands down the Tarpon Springs Shepherd Center has some of the best items and clothing around. You don't see stains on their clothes, rips, like other stores. Their prices are amazing! So many name brand things. God bless these people for all they do. I'll continue to be a repeat customer here! read more

Terrible! They should be ashamed calling themselves a thrift store. Their prices are ridiculous and when I asked why they charge so much for used stuff the store clerk said we are here to help the Tarpon community not sell to the poor. THEN DON'T CALL THIS A THRIFT STORE! HORRIBLE PLACE DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT DISCOUNTED USED ITEMS! THEY CHARGE MORE THAN THE DAMN BRAND NEW RETAIL PRICE! UNBELIEVABLE NOT FOR PROFIT MY ASS! DISGUSTING JUST ROBBING AND PLAYING THE SYSTEM! This is also a food giveaway BUT all their food is infested with roaches. I know several people who got food here and ended up with a huge roach problem after. And the truck they send out is even worse ... Shame on all of you that represents this horrible Shepard center business. read more

An amazing location full of good helpful folks that care about serving and the power of hope! You can adopt so may great 'slightly used' instruments of life. Love you guys Ricky read more

I understand this organization does a lot of good for the community but I could not believe how outrageous their prices were. Every item was marked ridiculously high... used sunglasses for $8.99, an asaian vase, made in Thialand for $$99 (yep, $99) and many many other outrageous prices. Won't be going back!! read more

DO NOT GO this place is ridiculously over priced! Things for $300, $200 that are old and in terrible condition that you could get new for $50 we were there for ten minutes and left in absolute shock at the prices. There was a dress that was at least 10 years old, been worn many times and it was $20. Got to tj maxx and get a brand new one for $12. Blown away. Maybe they think with all the baby boomer snow birds they can get away with ridiculous prices and perhaps most of the time they do. Don't let yourself be one of them read more

As a first time patron I was very impressed, Mike was more than hospitable kind courteous and informative. It was a pleasure to see such qualified people at a thrift store. I have no doubt they do good for the community read more

First and last visit to the store. I was standing at the counter waiting to be helped. The young lady never acknowledged me but checked her phone several times. Another customer walked up and was helped immediately. Now see as this was my first time there I walked up to a register, I had no way of knowing that wasn't the register they were using. In between checking her phone she could have simply said "Ma'am, please come to this register." I was standing there for 5 minutes while she cut her eyes at me and smiled at her phone. Poor customer service, I will take my money elsewhere. read more

I started shopping here a few years ago and at that time it had great merchandise and prices to match not to mention friendly,courteous staff. I left the area for about a year and when I came back in 2017 found it apparently changed owners and no longer a thrift store since the prices are extremely exorbitant and the people who staff the place now not very helpful and tend to be rude. What a disappointment. read more

I went here to look for a hat for an upcoming event. I found what I was looking and then did some looking around. They have nice selection of clothing and furniture. And, the staff was as nice as they could be. read more

The Shepherd Center - Here it is - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

This is not a thrift store. It is extremely misleading. We went in expecting thrift store prices. Not $800 tables and $25 Christmas decorations. But it LOOKED like a thrift store inside and the merchandise is thrift store quality for consignment store prices. Do not go out of your way to come here if you're on the hunt for thrift stores. I definitely won't be coming here again. That's for sure. read more

Great selection of dresses and women's shoes. Prices are competitive with Plato's Closet but they do have sales weekly. Although the sign says open til 6 I was told to leave around 5:40. This has happened twice. read more

I am totally giving The Shepherd Center a 5 star! I always would ride by and think eh just another thrift store but recently I decided to check it out. I work across the way so it's Just a hop and a skip on my lunch break. I was so shocked when I walked in, they had everything!! Furniture, clothes, school supplies and much more. I needed some things for my desk and found it all there for a great price. I even savaged through the clothes and found some great things for so cheap!! They are very clean here. Their little dressing rooms are hand built and so cute! Everything is well organized and priced accordingly. I am thinking this place helps with job opportunities and helps the community out. The furniture is very nice that they sell and they also have a strong man there to help! Everyone is super helpful and always around if you need them! I totally found a new lunch break stop! read more

It is a thrift shop. Lots of furniture and a surprising amount of wheel chairs and walkers. So big fun for the whole family!
