Reviews
"I found this thrift store by accident and I'm so glad I did! Very nice quality items. I found an IKEA leather for $60, it sells for $249!! The staff is very welcoming and helpful! I really like this store and the organization it helps."
"This is a timeless and amazing place to shop for great value finds. Got a bit of everything for everyone. I love the hidden treasures you can find here and if you have a good eye you can spot a good bargain. Great selection and great staff working here."
"Wonderful store, insanely kind and compassionate staff, the manager is a prince. Great inventory and 100 percent fair pricing. Please consider donating your stuff here. Update: years later and it's only better. Most of the wonderful staff and volunteers remain and I really do thank them for what they do."
"I love coming here before the pandemic. They just had a ton of stuff. Since the pandemic there isn't as much stuff, but it's better quality. Love the discount clothing every month. Get there early to choose first hoping the item you were once looking at is now there. I'm not sure if it's every month end, but the discount clothing turns to $1 to try and help them thin out what they have so the racks of clothing don't get overwhelmed. Love the store and the items you never know you'll find. Sometimes you'll get treasures and some days you leave empty handed. Prices for clothing has increased to $4, but the price is cheaper than Goodwill. The store has either sorted their donations to only put out quality items. Sometimes you still find that perfect right price find. Items in the store have gone up in prices for some items, but I guess inflation and lack of donations can do that. Every month they have discounted clothing for 50% off (certain color tag) and that starts the first day of the month. It's best to go the first day so you can get the best pick. Sometimes you'll find the item you wished you got and didn't, but it ends up in the 50% off section. They sometimes have clothing specials BOGO clothing for women's right now (8/1-8/6/22). Current color is yellow for August 2022. They change the color every month and they have a 3 color system that they rotate. 11/11/22 I came in just browsing looking for nothing in particular. Christmas items are out, but it looks a little like slim pickings a bit. There are a couple of pieces of furniture that had tags for free they're looking to get rid of. One is a file cabinet and the other was an armoire that held a TV with the back cut out. I went to the discount section for clothing against the back wall and found a couple items. I ended with a skirt and a pair of capris pants for the price of one item because this month's color is yellow so the clothing was 50% off. I almost picked up a Banana Republic skirt that was 50% off, but I knew it wasn't really my style and I had one that was similar so I passed on it. The pet section was a little bare. Still like the store. Prices here are half the price of GOODWILL! Great deal if you can find something in your size! Better deal if you can find something in the clearance section!"
"My favorite thrift store!!! I always find something here. They have the biggest selection of dog toys/supplies that I've ever seen at a thrift store! The prices are unbeatable and the employees are always friendly. Down side is they only have one register so if it's busy (especially on Tuesdays which are senior discount day) there can be a big backup. The only other negative is the shopping center (which is out of their control so I don't use it against them!) it sometimes has a lot of homeless people and just sketchy people! But the positive outweighs the negative!"
