"Ridiculously over priced. Well organized and decent selection, but I can buy the same things brand new at TJ Maxx for the price. $6.99 for a walmart t sshirt. I think not."
"They have pretty good things there which was really nice. It’s also amazing how every purchase goes to donating to a charity in the community! I’ll definitely be going to more thrift stores like this!"
"I absolutely agree with Christine's previous review. We donated great clothes from my sisters estate...designer clothes...they were Sent to a recycle facility....WHAT??? Who in your backroom is making these decisions???? So overpriced its crazy. Who is running this store???k Even charities are messed up in our crazy world. Dont waste your time...someone other than the needy are profiting. God help us...."
"It doesn’t matter about how much you donate when you literally can donate items to the store and they throw them away and their dumpster and then trespass people from getting the items out of their dumpster. I have video proof! Pictures! People donate items every day, thinking that they’re going to help people in need and these people are so greedy that they would rather throw it away then market down so somebody could actually buy it or actually donate it to someone in need. I actually just got off the phone with Brandon. He says he’s the head of Wheeler Mission of Indiana. He stated that no one is allowed to take anything from their dumpsters and also said they do not throw away customers donations. I tested them and donated some Christmas stuff they threw it away immediately brand new Christmas items! Don’t you think someone in need around Christmas time would be happy to have a brand new Christmas tree ornaments, and decorations? Not to mention the tons of books they throw away each week. It was enough to fill up half of my car and donate to our local elementary over 200 bucks in one night just childrens books! They throw away kitchen goods, and housewares that someone could use to furnish their house, furniture, clothes, shoes, toys… Why not mark the items down to the price it costs to feed someone? Why not donate it? Who are you helping by sending mass amounts of donations to the landfill to add to our waste crisis? Instead of selling an item for $2.08 which is the amount it cost to care for one struggling individual they would rather throw an item out and pay to send it off.. to sit and waste away. Does this make sense to anyone? These people are just as corrupt as Goodwill, if not worse! I went into a store, hoping to buy some things for my children as I’m a mom of 4 and all their used items were no joking the same price as brand new items in Store, and sometimes marked higher than the tags on them! I was going to buy a pair of little girls shoes picked them up and then noticed they were $14 used..put them down. I looked them up online and I could buy them at my local Walmart for $12.99 brand new! On top of all that they pay private security to patrol their dumpsters at night. I looked at the security company and they get paid a minimum of $35 an hour. Can you do the mass for eight hours seven days a week… think about how many people could be fed and sheltered with that alone. It’s ridiculous and I will my it MY MISSION to spread awareness of your corrupt “Non-For Profit” P.S. Thank you for pushing me to make this public when you decided to hang up on me for making these points over the phone Brandon!"
"Extremely way too high on their prices. I assume that is why they aren’t ever busy. They had some Dollar Tree stuff & Walmart stuff way higher priced than retail. For example; VO5 shampoo & conditioner marked $2.99 each and last I saw they were 82 cents each at Walmart. Dollar Tree everything is $1.25, and they had it priced $2.99- $3.99. Didn’t bother looking at clothes after I picked up a used Tshirt tagged at $5.99. Clean place though."
