Reachout Thrift Store 1003 Pacific Avenue, Long Beach, WA 98631

"One thing I noticed is most of the other reviews say, "first off" and they all pretty much sound the same. Makes me questions the legitimacy of them. My review of Reach Out thrift store. I went in to Reach Out right after they re-opened with all new staff. They still had the $6 bag but they also added just as many racks with "regular" prices not included in the bag sale. I searched all the bag racks and nothing but ugly, out dated, stained clothes. I then went on to housewares, wow talk about expensive. I could buy the item new for less. I found a comforter I liked but it was super expensive for used, I asked the lady at the cash register if she could come down in price. She stated, "No its a good price", and I told her I could get one new for that price, she then told me too, ""go buy it new then!" She also made a few more rude comments so I put the comforter back and walked out. Tried the store out again months later, walked in, and no one greeted me and store was a mess, looked at clothes and nothing anyone would want. Stained, old, tore, dirty clothes were on the bag racks. Employee's must be taking all the good stuff home with them. Shelves were in disarray, floor was dirty, kids toys strewn all over store. Does anyone pick up or straighten up? Maybe if they were not all talking at the register, paying no attention to anyone the store would look better. None of the sheets, towels or other linens were folded. Nothing good in this section either, what was there was good for rags only. Prices way to high for used stuff. At this point I said "never again" and left. Reach Out used to have great clothes at great prices. I was always greeted coming in the door, store was clean and neat, never once seen people gossiping at counter before. I do not see how they make any money now. What a terrible decision to change staff. Please bring back the nice and professional staff you had before. Don't waste your time, unless your in need of expensive rags."

"I make sure I visit this place when I visit the beach. First off, I really enjoy the people running the place. Between the husband and wife team, they can come up with most things you ask for, and walk you to where the items are located. Just a great atmosphere there. They have lots to look at, but it is well arranged so you can limit your visit. Their proceeds go to charitable causes, like the Boys and Girls Club."
