This was my first time at an AmVets. It's pretty similar to other large thrift stores I've been…read moreto...but a little better. The aisles are nicely spaced, so you don't feel crowded or rushed. Everything was pretty well organized and fairly tidy for a thrift store. It was a Sunday and there weren't very many customers. They have a massive amount of clothing, but this time we were there for housewares and whatever else fun we could find for our apartment. The dish and glassware section is quite large and I'll need to go back with a specific plan to make proper use of it. Until then, I found a few things we still needed (having recently relocated from across the country with only a sedan full of stuff)... -2 quart Revere Ware saucepan for $6.98, lightweight and durable. -Pyrex measuring cup for $2.49. -white glass bud vase for 49 cents. -old aluminum ice trays to use in desk organizing for 99 cents. I will say, some of the pricing seems a little off. And unfortunately, a cute little ceramic dish I had found didn't make it into my bag at checkout. Overall, I was pretty happy with the store and will definitely be going back with a plan and more time. They have a location closer to me that I'll be checking out soon, too.

The owner wasn't very welcoming in the beginning but upon a referral, I figured I'd give her the…read morebenefit of the doubt and consign two items of mine with her. After initially dropping off my two items, one authentic handbag and one inspired bag, the owner told me she would be emailing me a confirmation and contract (which she never did) and would call if/when they sold. After 3 months of no contact, I stopped in to see how the status of my items were. Upon arrival, I was told by the owner that she couldn't verify the authenticity of my items and could not find the serial number on the authentic handbag-- because of this, she said she had tried reaching out to me through phone, left voicemails, and sent emails but never head back from me which is a complete lie because I received no phone calls, no voicemails, and no emails (none in spam folder either). Once I looked at the authentic handbag, I was able to find the serial number within 30 seconds and showed her and she verified it in front of me on her authenticating program all while acting completely dumbfounded she didn't originally find it. Not only was I disappointed that she didn't actually notify me but also, both of my bags were on the floor behind her front counter, amongst other items on the floor not even in their dust bags. I gave her one more chance to sell my items and gave her some grace for the miscommunication. Another 3 months, and I stop in to take my items home because clearly they just weren't selling and the dustbag for my inspired bag was missing and when asked about it, the owner immediately became defensive and started raising her voice at me. She tried to make me feel guilty because she paid $25 of her own money to verify my bag and gave me the certificate for it to keep. All I wanted was for her to look around her store for my original dustbag and she continued to give me attitude and said she'd give me a generic dustbag but that i would have to return to her the authenticating certificate that she paid for. It's concerning how poorly she handled such a small request for MY item, expecting something in return despite the fact that part of my item was lost while in her possession. I'd recommend going elsewhere for any items you want to consign because the owner is just a complete bullshitter and rude.

My friend and brought me here today and introduced me to Carrie who owns and operates the store. She was super nice and knowledgeable about the inventory. Left us alone to browse but was never too far away when we had questions about things. I picked up a huge wooden picture frame for an item I need to frame. Been looking for a while now so this was perfect timing. I'll be back for sure to browse and find random treasures.

The selection of items was great- lots of high end designers with some mid-tier things mixed in. Additionally, they had a bin where everything was $10 and a rack where everything was 60% off. It's a great size and a sweet space, brightly lit. Oh, and there's a friendly and adorable shop dog! The dressing rooms are large and well-lit. I ended up leaving with two tops. Highly recommend!

There were a lot of clothes/miscellaneous things in reusable shopping bags stuffed underneath the racks...unclear if shoppers are expected to dig through them. Lots of dust on the floor, got all over my skirt when I bent down to look. There is a bus parked outside that has more items for sale, but again totally disorganized and tons of junk shoved under the racks. This store has potential but the owner needs to put more effort into curating, pricing, organizing, and cleaning.

Because she knew we were coming, the owner, Wendy, placed shoes on the sidewalk that led us right to her place. The store itself is small, but that belies the amazement within.

My one friend found a beautiful lucite purse and bought it for a song. This store has everything a vintage fashion enthusiast could want! Wendy is a total doll and was so excited to have us.

Halloween costumes, imaginative getups, clothing fresh from the drycleaners or in preshrunk, prefaded condition. Toys for young and old, things to get creative and make other things with and guess what????? IT's RECYLCLING! It's environmentally friendly. Some people cannot bear the thought of buying used clothes but did you know that if you want a book to read you can get a paperback for a quarter or a hardcover for a dollar? Things out of print, ideas, music, ornaments, art, you name it is is in here at one time or another. Once upon a time the people of the earth used to consume or toss away good items into the trash but now..... the only thing that limits what you can use from this store is your imagination. I used to work for another location in the city and cannot call them a kind or generous employer, in fact there, they really stink in that department but the second hand offereings on pennies for a dollar are just waiting there to be discovered. An economical environmetally friendly place. Be nice to the staff, you might be the nicest thing they see all day!

I am a woman on a mission. In an attempt to find the replacement thrift store (RIP Payne ave…read moreSalval) I flailed my way across Sheridan on foot in search of new, well old, pants. It's close to my regular grocery stores, so I was really hoping this was going to be the place. All I can say is that it's not not the place. Walking in, I immediately came to face a large security footage screen, as if to deter me from theft. The proceeds of the sales go towards feeding and clothing the underprivileged (they say they even give some donations to the people in need, which explains where all the clothes I throw in those red boxes around town go) which you would hope would make anyone with a conscience pay up, though at the prices they charge, I could see why one wouldn't want to. The prices are more comparable to a low end clothing retailer like Walmart than second hand stores I have grown accustomed to. They also had the colored tags, and I looked unsuccessfully for signage to see if it meant any deals. Their website explains the color would make something half off, which must not have been the case today. I combed through the racks, which are sorted by type and size instead of color. I was able to find one cheaper pair of pants to try on, so I headed to the back, where there were two massive unlocked fitting rooms. They were super clean and spacious with a wall sized mirror, a bench and a rack for returns. I could comfortably kick my legs about (yes, kick, as I was testing the durability) and squat down (butt crack coverage) without worrying about hitting the wall. Side quest accomplished. I had also looked through the rest of the store: furniture, housewares, toys and books. I was disturbed to find a used bottle of mouthwash for sale on the shelf, which is mostly the reason why when deciding between a three and a four for this review, I knocked it down. The cashier asked if I wanted to join the loyalty program, to which I declined, watching my total pop up on a screen in front of me. They're rounding pennies now for those paying cash. Which in the grand scheme of things hopefully means that an extra two cents is helping those they serve. I might come back at some point, with more money in my wallet to poke around, but for a place called Heart, this isn't my new love.

I don't know how I never reviewed the store before, but it's been open perhaps three years now? Or…read moreI've been aware of it anyway for about that long. It's on Sheridan, it's much smaller than Savers, Amvets or Goodwill or any of those kinds of stores, making it a very easy place to stop and do a quick run in if you're looking for something or a quick run in just to check it out. Easy parking out front.
