They are great about having things in season, although prices have gone up a little in clothing. Lots of name brand items with major savings if you take the time to look. Still, for the last 3-4 visits I have been able to easily snag around 7 items in a haul every time for around $30! They also have a Clover rewards system to get discounts after you purchase a certain amount of items.

This is a great pseudo thrift store. The front portion has crafts made locally! They range from…read morebaskets, wood chairs and benches, quilts, and art. The back portion is the thrift store. They have gently worn women's clothes organized by size. They also had a small housewares section and records. We hit gold with Elvis Live from Hawaii. The prices are a bit higher than other thrift stores, but profits go towards the Assistance League of Birmingham's Operation School Bell and literacy programs. Also the ladies running the store we're so happy and friendly, which is not always the case at a thrift store. I would have to say this place is a real gem.

I absolutely love this store!! The ladies are always so friendly and helpful. It's hard to know…read morewhere to start in providing a review of this store. First, I love the fact that the proceeds are used for the Jefferson County Literacy Program. The front half of the store is filled with unique and high quality crafted items made by those that are 50+. They even take special orders on items. The back half of the store is an upscale thrift store that consists of name brand clothing, shoes, purses and jewelry. They often place the clothing items half off to make room for more donations. You can find everything from casual shorts and tops to suits and evening gowns for ladies. They do carry baby clothing up to a size 5 or so, shoes, toys, along with items such as strollers, high chairs and playpens. I'll try to summarize all the hidden treasures you can find from time to time with this list: books of all kind (I personally love the children's selection and old cookbooks), albums, dishes like China tea cups and place settings, serving pieces, small appliances, comforters, curtains, furniture, holiday items and various furniture pieces from from time to time. I can't say enough about this place!! They receive so many unique whatnots and unsold items from estate sales as well. The store is well kept and has great prices. Periodically the clothes are marked down to half price and everything is always in great condition. I hope everyone will remember them when having items to donate. I just hope I haven't limited myself in finding great deals now!!

Came to Gus Mayer for the Margarita Sale yesterday! Free maragitas and shopping? Yes, please! One…read moreof their bigger sales of the year! They had some fun games and were giving out prizes like gift cards at the door. The woman running the cornhole game has a future in cruise ships. Gus Mayer is one of those legacy Birmingham stores that you make your lovely Grandmother take you to to shop at. They have all the nice brands and an excellent black tie gown section if you need something unique and spectacular. My favorite thing to look at here is always the shoes, expect to spend at least $200 on a pair of shoes. But, they're shoes you can't find anywhere else in town. **A note for this year (2025): they had a pair of shoes I wanted that were from Italy, and upon messaging the brand directly, I do believe I avoided some hefty tariff fees by buying the shoes IRL here. Food for thought. I don't often shop in person at all anymore (I'm a major e-bay fanatic), but being able to go in and try on different sizes is incredibly nice. I ended up getting a pair of jeans and shoes in a different size than what I would have ordered online. They have dresses anywhere from $100-$2k, with all the brands like Zimmerman, Staud, etc. They have Mother jeans and my all time fav jeans brand, Mousy -- which were 50% off yesterday!! The "doorbusters" they advertised online were not the bread and butter of what you come here for. Come to peruse. Shoes and handbags are what I recommend. I see the other reviews commenting on the friendliness of the staff... I get it. My thoughts: these are the women of Mountain Brook here to secure their employee discount. Don't hate the player... The also have fine jewelry, makeup, and fragrances. If you need a fancy gift, definitely check them out.

I always find something I LOVE, and I can take it home without any guilt because the prices are so low!!! Name brands in clothes and shoes.
