If you want to go here don't forget your gas mask for the top floor. It smells like moth balls and wet spent cigarettes. I'm giving this place five stars because the dogs let me pet them!

I felt very welcome and I don't think there was a speck of dust in the whole place.

Only a ramp. Once inside the layout seemed odd too. But then I noticed signs with arrows regarding the many departments. ..that was helpful. The inside of this place has seen better days.

I wish it was closer to where I live. I probably won't return unless I'm out that way again....

With 4 children we have to be thrifty shoppers. We enjoy shopping at Salvation Army and other…read morethrift stores, but literally walked out of the Gardner store very disappointed and kinda pissed on 08-16-14. Used, beat up, dirty, boys sneakers: $9.99. Kids paperback book: $4.99. Kids t-shirt: $3.99. None of which were super high quality, major, name, high fashion brands. The shoes and t-shirt were Wal-Mart brand items. An elderly woman was looking for a blanket or quilt for her dog. There was a fake sheepskin, brown, worn out, stained blanket marked $39.99. The woman said that she had to look 3 times at the price because she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. Something isn't right there... Not sure if it's the management or an employee marking the items at these prices, but it's wrong, crazy and unfortunate. We visited a Salvation Army store in Portsmouth, NH and filled a giant bag with shoes, clothing, a giant crockpot, and other various items for $35 bucks a few weeks ago and most of the items were brand new with the store tags still attached. Out of curiosity, we took a ride over to the big Fitchburg Salvation Army and wow!! What a price difference! How can the prices differ so much between the stores? Why is Gardner overpriced by so much?? Skip Gardner and go over to Fitchburg, Turners Falls, Greenfield or Hadley next time. Worth the drive!

Was in town for a wedding and several people recommended visiting the Crompton Collective...and…read morecollective is the best was to capture the essence of the place. Very interesting and unique locally owner stores and super friendly people!! I was fascinated by the store " Seed to Stem" which is described as a lifestyle and plant boutique. They had a fascinating array of plants and plant related books/items as well as a full array of interesting home related items...decor items crystals/incense, books and the like. It was easy to spend on hour in the store just taking it all in. We also went to the Aristide in the basement and enjoyed looking at the wide range of items...books, clothing, jewelry, knick knacks of various ages, and general home decor items. A fascinating place that you should try!

What a bummer that I got here only 1/2 hour before they closed!! I had just made it to town on a…read moreSunday, and didn't have time to any more antiquing before heading back to the airport the next morning, so was very happy to stop in here, and do a quick lap. I saw so many things I wanted to get! Unfortunately, some of them were way to big to wrangle home, but nonetheless it was fun looking around. The place had a mix of authentic antiques and new made to look old stuff in a few booths. A number of booths featured vintage clothing, and home decor, with the full rainbow of small collectibles and ephemera. Also, as an out-of-towner, the directions took me to the front of the store, with only street parking, but there was a parking lot behind the building, and other fun shops in the building. This was on a lower level. Definitely a spot worth wandering around if you like old things.
