Well organized shop with nice clothing including business wear including shoes for men, women and kids in all sizes. I actually saw appliances that were barely used and in good working condition. Many items for the home kitchen like dishware, utensils, pots & pans were brand new still in the box. One drawback is some items were priced too high but if you bring some items to donate or trade you can possibly make out well. I was able to find a good pair of converse Chuck Taylor's low tops, a cool hoodie and a decent paper shredder which are super expensive at office supply stores.

I’ve never left a review before but what I experienced was so frustrating I had to.
I found some old bootleg skateboard decks in the back in a stack and ask the owner how much. There’s 5 so he says each for 8 or all 5 for 25$. They’re completely chipped and a fake brand I was just going to paint over them or something I wasn’t even sure yet. Another worker overhears as I grab them, runs to the front and tells the owner to up the price. As I’m walking to check out the owner said “actually, sorry they’re 25$ EACH.” I laugh and start putting them back bc no way I’m paying 125$ for fake old chipped boards and then he says “12$ each!” At this point I’m so annoyed I drop everything I was gonna purchase and start walking out when the owner tells “8$ each!!” Like Excuse me?! That’s just really a disgusting way to do business. Won’t be coming back, unfortunately I was a regular there.

They have nice clothing don't get me wrong but the lady will not negotiate prices and overprices many things. There are very narrow passageways to get around the clothing. They stocked up on too many items which may sound like a weird complaint until you actually come to the store. She tried to charge my sister who is a college student a whopping fifty bucks on a stained suit. She only dropped the price by ten bucks and that's still too much for a suit and matching skirt set at a thrift shop. The store is celing high stacked with books everywhere yet the lady overheard me speaking Russian with my sister saying I only had $12 and she charged me for a book and dress $12 exactly even though dress price was posted on the wall and it said from $4-9 bucks. Actually dumb! I hope this thrift shop gets new management soon.

I always find a few cool things here whether it's clothing or household items. The owners of this place are really nice and the lady behind the counter is helpful and sweet.

A hoarders den. A rude man, and a lady run this place. The old guy micromanages everyone. He interjects himself into front desk conversations in order to bully patrons for more money. He gives little eye contact and has a dismissive tone. She is a little more pleasant if you can get her alone, but since prices aren't set, overprices just about everything. Prices seem to go up or down depending on how they both feel that day.

This place is a massive fire hazard. One entry/exit and everything is piled and flammable. Normally, if organized, a lot of inventory is a good thing, but not here. Items are piled to the point of being inaccessible. Lower levels are picked through junk from 10 years ago. If you move stuff around you get lambasted verbally for doing so, so it is difficult and time consuming to find anything decent.

They bring in parole felons for free labor so it is common to come across people hiding in the isles, on their phones, or literally napping for their community hours. Very little is organized because there is no supervision. There is no security either so best to come with someone or not at all.

For the third time I’ve come to this store when it purports to be open, only to find it locked up and closed. Avoid.

This place is a hordes den, there’s so much stuff to the point that it makes it difficult to shop. The lady makes up pricing on the spot without a system in place and she over charges to a ridiculous degree. I donated 8 bags worth of items and decided to take a look through the shop, as I was looking around I found a cute little orange cover up that I was considering purchasing. I ask her how much it is, she looks at it and then says 15$! You would think after donating so much she would offer a lower price, I can get brand new clothing anywhere for that. If it was something vintage I could totally understand but for some smelly rinky dunk too it was just absurd. It doesn’t seem like they make any sales here, the owner isn’t using this shop to help the less fortunate, isn’t that what bargain thrift stores are for? Why have a massive amount of stuff and help no one. Beware, the clothes have a smell, there’s no prices on most items, she makes it up. I will never be returning here and I honestly wish I just gave my stuff to a shelter because of the level of greed that you can clearly see in this shop.

Lady in the front is not friendly and overprices everything here despite there being an overwhelming amount of items they should want to get rid of. The place has potential but the lady in the front should be replaced with someone who can actually run the place more efficiently.

Worst thrift shop I ever went to . I think a horder owns it . The hangers are so tight together it’s impossible to look at the clothes . I got bit on my ankles from walking around in there by fleas or God knows what. No prices on anything and so much junk that should of been thrown away. I went into the boutique part still no prices and when she gave a price it was over priced , I willNever go back F -

Came in for some video games but overheard the workers say how they often lower the prices and buy it for themselves which sucks. But that’s just how it is so it doesn’t matter much. Everyone here is nice, the workers and volunteers are really cool people. I spent some time talking to an old wrestler which was nice, the lady on the counter is really cool too. You can find really good clothings, toys, etc. Plus you can negotiate the pricing, my mom got a 48$ pricing to go down to 30$, I probably wouldn’t come back for videogames or consoles but it’s a really good place for clothing and vintage decorations

~This place supports the future children of this country❤️~

This place is crazy cool and super random.
So many eclectic items from new to vintage.
Feels like you just stepped into the past looking at certain items :)
Just A bit over whelming with stuff,
I thought I was going to get swallowed by a clothes monster in the clothes wrack area,haha.

The manager was super kind and volunteers his own time to run the place to support homeless children with their education. Admirable and inspiring. 🤗

Got a lot of good stuff at a great price ✨

crazy amount of stuff. almost overwhelming honestly. thought prices could be better for how much stuff was there. plus, lady was on the phone the whole time she was ringing me up and I thought that was a little rude because I asked her questions and she ignored me. but if u have the time and drive to dig thru stuff this might be a place you will like.

THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF STUFF! You do have to dig to find treasures, because everything is stacked on itself. They have great finds, and at the end, you can negotiate prices. My goal next time is show up hours before closing and get deep into the back. I wanna see what's in those china hutches. 100% recommend.

Good-ish prices. You really need to dig through to find treasures. Almost zero video games. Lots of records but mostly moldy classical. Found some VHS and cassette tapes. But literally mountains and mountains of items.

I am a costume designer and when i first found this place I was stunned that not more people came into this place now I know why. The people who run this place are completely rude, and unprofessional. I spent nearly half my budget for 2 clients in this store! I literally spent nearly 30 buck just in suit ties alone! *I made a skirt outta them. Things had gone fine every other time but this last time I searched threw the precariously stacked pile of purses I see a bag I'm interested in but havee too remove 10 purses to get to it. No big deal! WRONG the lady at came in and started screaming literally screaming at me "how dare you do this!" I was astonished by the lack of restrained or respect this old hag had. She ran an got the old man to yell at me too. I can't believe how they scram at me! It's not like I even made that much of a mess and I pkanned on putting them back i am not 2 years old why would I leave them like that? This place is not worth it I'll never shop here again
