Because Troy is a dick, I decided to write a little review of my experience here…read more Yes the hours suck No their little store is not as big as the big box store. But When the big box store doesn't have what I need, these guys do. I needed special hardware (hardware is like nuts and bolts) and these guys were the only ones in town who had it. On another occasion I was looking for a vest with a hood, these guys were the last place I went(obviously as they had what I wanted) I went to Tractor Supply, Menards, Home Depot, and Mills Fleet Farm and none of them had what I was looking for. Yes I could of ordered it online but would rather not. I purchased bibs, a winter work coat, boots(once and never again, my work gives me a slip to buy boots) fleece lined jeans. Ect. I buy a ton of stuff from these guys and if you can work through their hours, I fully recommend shopping there too.

I would strongly advise taking your business elsewhere. Since the change in ownership, the quality…read moreof service and integrity of this business has plummeted. When we originally purchased my engagement ring here, we were promised a lifetime warranty. Now, under the new management, they refuse to honor that original agreement. They have shifted to a 1-year warranty, but even that seems to be a hollow promise. In the last four years, this ring has required four separate repairs despite "typical use" (I am diligent about taking it off to shower, do dishes, and work out). Most recently, I had a prong on my hidden halo repaired. Less than six months later, a diamond fell out. When I brought it back, they refused to honor their own 1-year warranty because they failed to keep records of which specific prong they worked on. It is clear their products are not built to last, and the new ownership is unwilling to own up to their mistakes or stand by their work. Save yourself the headache and the money and find a jeweler who actually values their customers and their craft.

It is clean, and can be quite crowded because it is difficult to find such a nice and well stocked gift/collectible shop. The owner is a nice man but a bit gruff. He has his process and he sticks to it. One thing at a time and the boxes for items are all located in a back stock room so it can take him some time for each person and each item. His son was so welcoming and so nice! We were there awhile so he brought us small bits of candy to try and then brought us chairs as we were there past closing. An awesome host!! A great counter-balance to his father. When I left, I found that the father/owner had given us a full size Ritter (German chocolate bar) as a thank you. I only wish that the shop had more customer friendly hours ... as with many small towns and shops in them, they closed at 5 on Saturday and then were closed on Sunday and for holidays.

Brenda tirelessly answered all my questions and helped me pick out a comforter for our bed. I feel as if I purchased an heirloom, particularly since I can come back to get the wool re-carded for a fraction of the cost of comforter replacement. I placed an order and it was ready way sooner than I expected (about a week, really, or maybe less). Here's where I need to apologize, as COVID has turned me into a Yelp n00b. I TOTALLY FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES! You'll have to trust me that the showroom is filled with all sorts of cool notions and supplies for quilter and other sew-y types. There are also woolen goods for purchase, like hats, socks and mittens. I enjoyed checking everything out while Brenda brought the comforter out for us. We've had the comforter for nearly a month and I love it! It's lofty and squishy and perfectly keeps the temperature comfortable without feeling like a ton o'blanket. As soon as I relocate to a home with more bedrooms, I'll be buying more comforters.

I have to - reluctantly - call this place out as being pretty lame…read more After exploring the only antique store in town, I decided to checkout a couple of thrift stores. I went to the Riverside Thrift Shop today. Apparently, it opened only a few months ago. Being fresh and new, by all rights, they should be totally on top of their game. 1) The main problem is it's too darn small. It's little more than one small narrow room. (I think my living room at home is bigger than this store!) As a result, there isn't much inventory...mostly garage sale type stuff...not enough to pick through and find something you might like. There's a HUGE warehouse in back of this building. If THAT was part of the store and filled with stuff too, you'd really have something great. But that's not the case. 2) The dude running the shop ignored us, never smiled, never spoke, and he was completely devoid of any customer service skills whatsoever. Not cool. This definitely sealed the deal and made me not want to ever walk through the door again. There always seems to be at least one crazy person shopping at every thrift store I go to, even a super small one like Riverside. Indeed, I came across one. There was a wild eyed lady buying a dozen ceramic ducks. Despite the sparse inventory, this woman had managed to locate every duck on the premises. She had a whole flock of ducks spread out on the counter. Pretty funny. Not worth the stop. -Daddy Maxx Retro
