"Overpriced items and upon inquiring about receiving my donations, I was spoken to rudley as if I should know their procedures before inquiring. They were pretty unfriendly and acted as if I was interrupting their job by asking. I kinda was though, as one was trying on a button-down plaid shirt, and the other was saying that it fit her, and here's another to try on.... I thought church ladies were supposed to be nice, especially the grandma types like me. I felt embarrassed for trying to engage in conversation with them. Very unfriendly atmosphere. I hope their boss or volunteer coordinator reads this. Customer service is important at all ages!"

"I used to love this thrift store. It was my favorite out of all the ones in the area, but unfortunately, they have gotten so overpriced now. I see things in the store that are the same as store prices, and some even more than store prices. Most of the ladies there are nice and friendly, and the store is always clean and organized, but I have such a hard time wanting to go back there now, because I know everything will be overpriced, even with their 50% off sale. Sad that they have decided to do this, when all their items are donated. What a shame."

"Ok, very unusual hours of operation but finally stopped by. Very well organized and has lots of stuff to look through. More modern than vintage items but the selection and variety was great. They have lots of clothes and they are well displayed and easy to look through. Lots of glassware and even have holiday decor. Lots of jewelry and displayed and organized very well in the cases. Some of the higher end items were in the glass cases as you enter but seemed a little overpriced for me. I think this store deserves a look for sure, but again it's more modern than vintage from what I saw. It will be a good idea to verify their operating hours before you just drop by."

"Outrageous pricing. Legitimately flabbergasted at it. Dollar Store plastic baskets for $4. (I would know because I have bought them from the Dollar Store myself.) Old and scuffed up frames for $8-$12… or more! Damaged & warped furniture for $80. (Let that sink in.) A toy I bought in working condition at a large thrift store for $2 is being sold here for $8. And didn’t even work! A table linen for.. wait for it… $30! Sure it’s all “50% off” but it’s not worth it at the sale price either. These should be $.25 baskets or $1-$2 frames. And a $4 linen. I will never understand the mentality of a thrift store that over prices their donated items. They taking advantage of people who either, need thrift stores to afford things for their home or those who don’t want to add to the landfills by shopping at box stores for cheap new stuff. I will never support a thrift store like this. They are treating it like a boutique and it is most definitely not a boutique. They should be pricing to sell at realistic prices… not pricing for their “50% sales.”"

"I've been coming to this shop for years now. I took a break for a few years because of covid. When I returned to shop again I was floored by the prices!! Yes everything is 50% off, however even with that it is still too expensive. I will continue to shop once in a while here but I have found 2 local thrift shops that have absolutely reasonable prices. I saw items in St. Martha's that I've seen at the dollar tree for one dollar. They are being sold for $5 at least. Lastly I donate to thrift shops a lot thru out the year. I just cannot donate to a store that raised their prices to almost as much or more than a retail store. I will take my items elsewhere next time I need to donate."
