Penny Annie's,

"I've been doing business with Gloria at Penny Annie's for over 5 years. Not only do we buy,sale,and trade, we have a blast laughing and joking as I'm getting on their nerves. Gloria knows a lot about the clothing industry and she's bought her daughter on board which makes it twice the fun to shop and have a good time. Penny Annie's. Great people, Great clothing, Great shopping experience!"

"Good deal helpful staff a good christan woman can't wait for the big sale I like to call out to a little girl named Madison you embarrass my boss yesterday for your attitude you came in our store with a negative attitude for no reason you embarrass your mom you should be ashamed and disgrace Miss Casey is the only one in Rome Georgia has took me to Florida.

"This is a tough review for me, since I do think this store has higher quality items and is kept nicely. However, the owner’s behavior is absurd and contradictory, and I won’t be giving her my money in the future. As I was browsing, I overheard her refusing a customer because they were a “reseller”. She then interrogated me about my items asking if I planned to resell them. What did she think I was going to say after I knew she refused resellers? After conversing with her she revealed that she herself is a reseller (she hand picks and buys her items then flips them in her store for profit), but of course this was justified FOR HER. Her argument was that resellers are scalping items from her store that her community needs. I’m going to give a defense of reselling, and show that her argument is flawed and that, in fact, she is hurting her community by refusing resellers from buying there. Reselling gives people jobs and is great for the economy. It is how many are able to start their own businesses and provide for their families. Resellers also purchase the bulk of shipping labels from the various shipping services, which give those employees jobs so that they can support their own families. Many people readily buy from resellers because they have desirable items that are hard to find for prices they will happily pay. Resellers also *literally* keep thrift stores in business by repeatedly buying merchandise from them (which they get for free). These are just some reasons the owner should stop being discriminatory against resellers. If she welcomed resellers, she could create a client base and potentially expand her business exponentially, which would give her more opportunities to truly help her community. I, for example, could have seen myself spending around $350 a month at her store and adding it to my monthly route. Instead, I’ll just take my business somewhere else (and I think you should, too), and I’ll pay a lot less. P.S., yes I’m a reseller and I will happily make a profit on the items I bought to fuel my business and support my family."

"Absolute best second hand shop around! Gloria is highly selectful about what she sells. I appreciate the attention to detail, no spots or stains. Gloria and her staff are always super nice and helpful!"

"I have been going to this store for many years, Ms. Gloria has helped out my family so many times over & Penny Annie's has allowed me to afford clothes I wouldn't otherwise be able to get. Thankful she's here!"
