It was fine. I won't say customer service was exceptional, but the worker I encountered when it…read morewas time to pay for my items was helpful when necessary. When I arrived, no one really greeted me or asked me for assistance, so I just took note of that and moved on. What I actually really liked what the men's selection here. I thrift quite a bit and it's honestly rare to find a decent breadth of Men's thrifted clothing. This store had probably the most vast men's section I've seen at a thrift. It took up one side of the store. What I've found is every thrift store has somewhat of an identity. This one is hard to pinpoint, but I have to say, it is not the hipster domain that some secondhand stores have become. This store felt more like a place people just looking for some deals turn up to. It was actually really refreshing. That in mind, I found the selection of vintage pieces here to be slightly above average. I even found a very rare band tee (that I plan on flipping). I was shocked at how great this place was for the unique vintage I love, but I think that largely has to do with it being more of a place frequented by community and not a hotbed for those millenials and Gen Z-ers just now on the thrift wave.

I stepped into the store at 5:16 PM today. Instead of being greeted, I was told The store is…read moreclosing in 20 minutes. Which surprise me since the closing time is 6:00 PM but lucky for me. I was only coming in to look to see if there were any tools for sale. Within five minutes of being told, the store is closing in 20 minutes, the same woman came up to me, and I had nothing in my hands, and says to me you need to go get in line now... I paused, pointed at my chest and said "are you talking to me?" She said no I'm just talking to everybody. You need to go get in line so you could check out. The rest of the people in the store were herded toward the cash register. My total time inside of the store? Less than nine minutes, and pushed out the door, and I'm writing this review at 5:37 PM. Just thought that upper management should know what it looks like going into the store.

This place is excellent for browsing for treasures. The owner, whom if I remember correctly is…read morenamed Harold, is an absolute doll. There is truly a diverse collection of items - you can find something for anyone. If you are in the neighborhood or even if you're not, this is such a great shop to check out. Also, around the corner is a little neighborhood church sponsored thrift shop where the women are just as delightful as Harold. Make a day out of it and have some fun treasure hunting. I will definitely be back!

I stopped by a few days ago to check out their new store. It's significantly bigger than Nana's Attic, which means it feels far less cramped. Yay! Still very good prices, the "yellow tag" items are consignment and generally higher priced than the store's donated stock. It about killed my soul to see an awesome vintage salt & pepper mixed in with newer dishes in a consignment lot. Aaah! Staff are great, the store is clean and bright. I'll definitely be back. Note: angled parking in front of the building is NOT free, Pontiac is a public street, and those are pay at kiosk metered spots.

Not wanting to spend a lot of money, I had a hunch I'd find something suitable in Goodwill. And by gum, I did! Not only that, it was designated half price on red-tag-Sunday. $2.50! This store is pretty big. There are plenty of shelves with knickknacks and household items. Nothing piqued my interest, but hey -- I found what I came in for. While dressing rooms in a lot of Goodwills closed never to reopen, you can try things on here. And you can bring in seven items. The store also houses a career center. I noticed that thrift stores in Florida, my part-time residence, have an impressive selection of furniture. Not so here, but this store has more clothing and dry goods than other places.

2 Friends recently relocated to its new location from 536 Burmont Road, where it shared quarters…read moreand parking with Burmont Hardware and Rex Dry Cleaners (both excellent). Yelp limits a user's categorization of a shop like this one to "thrift stores" but this is less a thrift shop than a high end consignment and gift business with remarkably affordable prices. Yes, you read that correctly: Owner Joanne Rebold is very intentional about her inventory and very price conscious. She understands that moving stock is more important than storing it. That's rare these days, isn't it? The premises are remarkably clean, beautifully well organized and appointed and appropriately lighted. At the front of 2 Friends you'll find an excellent selection of women's, men's and children's clothing, and arranged for convenient browsing. What you won't find at 2 Friends are ripped stitches, tears or moth holes in anything Joanne sells because she's meticulous about condition. To the left of the entrance stands a lovely (and often asked about) china cabinet full of crystal, dishware and fine porcelain. Among today's takeaways were a Beleek china bud vase for twelve (!) dollars, typically priced at $65.00 to $75.00 elsewhere (check Rubylane if you don't believe me). Now, take a deep breath, backtrack and read that sentence again. This sort of shopping find is rarer than hens' teeth on the ground these days. Dig a little more deeply into the china cabinet and you'll find full sets of designer dishware (Pfaltzgraff stoneware, Royal Worcester tea sets), cut crystal (today's visit turned up sparkling Waterford and Wexford sets) and Royal Danish holiday pieces all elegantly presented and priced to sell. Keep walking through this immaculate store and you'll pass designer handbags, vintage women's hats from the twenties and thirties (I counted no fewer than a half dozen cloches, smartly displayed), jewelry, brass, flatware, toys and on and on. You never know what you'll find so stop by often. Joanne's stock changes daily and her consignment traffic is high. What sets 2 Friends apart from so many other neighborhood consignment shops is that Joanne offers high tea for groups in an ever-evolving, ever improving back room. The 2 Friends "tearoom" is already booked weeks in advance for reading groups, local women's organizations and product demonstrations so be sure to make your reservations early because her calendar is filling up quickly. Parking is a little bit of a challenge because meters line the lot out front. However, there's ample free parking a hundred yards past the store on Woodland so keep heading west until you find a spot. 2 Friends is tucked into a row of stores flanking the Drexel Hill Post Office and set in the business district of historic downtown Aronimink. If you're planning a consignment junket to the Main Line remember to add 2 Friends to your itinerary. You won't be disappointed. This is a local treasure owned and operated by one of Upper Darby's leading lights. Brava...

A warehouse, filled with clothing, furniture, books, housewares, shoes, etc. A paradise for any brave shopper! And cheap! Did I mention cheap! However here's the rub... nothing has a price. Now, a word of advice. The crappier you look, the cheaper your item will cost. In my experience, the owner (who prices all of the items when you check out) will significantly raise or lower prices based on how you are dressed. That may sound paranoid to people who aren't in this business, but that's flea marketing 101. And hey, it's understandable. He wants his items to sell and, if he thinks he can get more $$ out of you (because you look like you have money), that's what he'll try to do. But, he will also bargain with you. Especially if you have multiple items. Score! Anyway, if you aren't afraid of a little dirt, grime, and the occasional smell of urine, this is your best bet to find "treasures beyond compare" in this city.

If you're a thrift-store junkie, as I am, I encourage you to make the journey down into Southeast…read moreDelco and check this place out. This is a ginormous thrift store, and the chances are that you will find what whatever it is you're looking for: clothing, jewelry, accessories, housewares, furniture, and books. I seldom leave here disappointed. Prices are low, even for a thrift store, and what's even better is that they usually run sales depending on the color of the merchandise's tag. This is an outreach organization with a strong Christian mission to aid distressed families, which is why you will see and hear Christian-themed programming in the store. A few drawbacks: No fitting rooms and no bathrooms. Adding these facilities would be a tremendous help to shoppers and would even increase sales. I won't deduct stars for these flaws because there's way more good than bad here. Come and shop your heart out without making too much of a dent in your bank account. That's as good as it gets!
