I sincerely hope they left items for others. I didn't need to worry. This is a very well stocked thrift shop. Yay! There are two buildings, one - the apparel store - tucked behind the other. They have shopping buggies, which was handy. The clothing selection was great, everything was in good condition, and prices were good. The staff were friendly and informative. I then headed over to the housewares store. WOW. It's fantastic, lots of rooms, almost felt like I was in a maze. It's on my list for sure.

Since I was in the area, and completed my shopping nearby, I decided to venture outward to see…read morewhat, if anything, a nearby thrift shop might have to offer. I was lucky enough to find one, and be here during open hours, and was able to browse. This is a cute little store, that sits up off the sidewalk. You have to take a few stairs and enter the store itself. It reminds you of a time when neighborhoods depended on storefronts like this. I didn't have anything in particular that I was looking for in here, but I made my way inside to browse the store. I did a quick once over of the clothing and found myself in the section of the store that offered home goods. That was until the vinyl caught my eyes. It wasn't much, but I checked every single vinyl they had to see if I might want it. There weren't any that tickled my fancy, but it was nice to look. I continued to browse the rest of the store. Chatted with the lady working that day and made my way back out.

If it was, I would NEVER thrift again! This place is a claustrophobic nightmare! First, you walk up a flight of stairs. According to previous posts, it's supposed to be different booths but I feel there is no way to discern that. I felt if I bent down I would break something or push something over and have a domino effect. It was just junk; rusted tools & stuff most people put in the trash. Could you find a gem? Maybe, but my people with me today seriously doubt it. I'm sorry to the owners. They have so much space & with little organization it maybe could be a great place to shop? Not sure. Most of what I saw was old, rusted, or dusty/dirty though.

We visit in this area at least annually and always seek out the Mount Joy Gift and Thrift. On our…read morelast visit we were pleasantly surprised to find this shop in a new location and facility which is also more directly accessible. The store lives up to its name in that offerings are more on display vs resembling a garage or yard sale manner--more organized with space surrounding the houseware items. Clothes are neatly hung appear clean. I especially like viewing the donated China sets , gardening supplies and seasonal figurines. The prices range from reasonable to real bargains. Music adds to the relaxing browsing experience. Overall one of my favorite thrift stores!

The reason I'm giving this place two stars is because the lady who works there (petite young girl with long brown straight stringy hair) was so rude to my daughter. She scolded my daughter by telling not asking her to touch a display that had the door open. For the record my daughter had no intention of touching, she was showing her dad. The lady jumped in and told her not to touch it. I was thrown off by the way she spoke to our child that we just left. Definitely won't be back which is a shame because we love thrifting as a family.

I found out about Revive from a Facebook suggested page. I was surprised there was a thrift store…read morein downtown Ephrata that I knew nothing about considering I'm up there frequently. As per their Facebook page they are described as the owner had a dream to purchase property, have her own store, and provide affordable housing to women in need. This store is considered for profit, however she states that she uses the funds to renovate the upstairs apartments in hope to help women escape bad relationships by providing affordable housing options. I support her vision. I was lucky enough to visit the store a few weeks before Christmas when the parking meters were covered. Normally there's a fee for street parking however I'm not sure if it's because of the season or covid that street parking was free. It's a bit hard to secure downtown and difficult to back out of since the spots are slanted but not impossible. Inside the store has an overwhelming amount of stuff. Not quite hoarder level but there's alot to take in. The property is a series of small rooms, you walk thru one to get to another, with lots of nooks and crannies. It is a challenging space to set up for retail and she does what she can to make it organized. It is hard to walk thru some areas and definitely leave the stroller and big handbag at home! Some areas have nice displays and she does have a good eye for showcasing more precious items. Overall there's every department that a larger thrift store would have, just separated a bit. What surprised me was everything was yard sale prices - like .50 cents and a $1! While some of the clothing items were dated I did find some nice kids pieces that I couldn't leave without for .50 apiece! Many of the house and glasswear pieces were vintage and still priced at yard sale prices. I honestly don't know how she makes any money. On the porch was a free clothing pile which I didn't investigate. The owner was very friendly and let you walk around and explore on your own without being intrusive, but was available to help if you needed her. They are cash only so be sure to bring some and definitely allow yourself some time as this is not an in and out kind of shop. Worth adding to my thrifting rotation whenever parking is available.
