Tamassee Dar School: Thrift Shop

"I love going to this thrift store. They always have a great variety to choose from and it’s well organized. The staff is also very helpful!"

"I have always loved thrifting. It's been a fun outing for me and my boys since they were tiny. Our favorite has always been Tamassee DAR. I could let the boys go in there and walk around and know they were safe.. Everyone was always so polite to them... until today. Today a woman took a bracelet from my youngest and treated him like a thief. When I calmly asked her why she took it from him she was rude and did not care one bit. I told her she could have spoke to me and her response was "I'm not getting anyone". If you don't care enough to get the parent then don't care enough to speak to child! This is a THRIFT store. Nothing is valuable. Your only loss is customers. The manager was spoke to as well and I got the "well she's a volunteer".. if you don't want to give great customer service then don't volunteer for it. We will never be back."

"Tamassee DAR ( Daughters After the Revolution) School and Visitors center is a good place to find deals on about anything you can think of used especially since there's not any kind of stores around the area except a gas station and a Mexican restaurant. It's also a good place to donate good items that you no longer have any use for. The money goes to help support the old school and housing."

"Visited Tamassee DAR School the first time this week. So many great buys. Quality products at good prices-- even wedding dresses and evening wear. Much of the jewelry was 1/2 price. One customer told us she and her Mom routinely drive from Spartanburg each month to check the new donations for bargains."

"The DAR thrift store supports a worthy cause, and the location on Hwy 11, though not convenient to nearby towns, is attractive. The rocking chairs on the front porch are welcoming. The sign says it's also a visitor's center, but I'm not sure how. Inside, the store is divided into sections--books, housewares, clothes, greeting cards (quite a lot of those!), etc. But the general impression of some sections is of an attic chock full of stuff that someone needs to sort, take stock of (and in some cases, dispose of), and curate. A crooked, hand-lettered sign on the front door pointed me to the furniture rooms around the corner. I wandered over, but the two rooms were a jumble--like someone's garage a week before a yard sale--and no sales staff appeared. Overall, prices seemed reasonable. Clothing items, for example, were a dollar. A heavy small pot was $3. Nice, roomy bathrooms."
