    This store used to be my favorite. The people are usually very nice and helpful. The store is clean an organized. But I've noticed their prices on "free stuff donated" have gone awry. I was there yesterday and found an old plastic tote (with lid) priced $10.10. It was dirty. There seems to be a variety of $10.10's, 20.20's and 30.30's. It's not uncommon to find a dollar tree brand priced over a dollar. But the graph paper debacle took the cake. It was old and none of the paper was missing but priced higher then new in the store. Going into a thrift store you shouldn't have to be a detective to figure out if you could have bought it cheaper "new". It feels conniving.

    The lady who gave 2 stars because stuff was not her size is very selfish to do so. This organization does wonderfull things for people in need. She missed the entire concept which is much bigger than her. So 5 stars for a store that helps handicaped veterans like myself.

    Very clean store. My only problem was trying to find clothes in my size! None of the clothes were organized by size only by color! I was looking at the jeans but after going through a mile of the clothes rack I gave up! It would’ve taken me hours to go through them. I didn’t bother trying to find any shirts…very frustrating. First time there and probably my last.

    Check my photo. Literally no size signs on any rack anywhere. So if you're a customer, you'll spend hours trying to find your size while paying double any other used clothing store. I've never seen anything like this before so I had to take a photo. Absolutely ridiculous. Good luck finding your size! Overpriced and unorganized.

    You can find some good stuff for a decent price at this thrift store. I just like to go bum around in the store for while when I’m bored. They have discount tags daily too! I love it! Every time I go, I find a great stuff! I found a zero water pitcher for $2.92!! I’m happy lol

    Some times you may find awesome items at awesome prices but lately items have been priced way too high. I mean $8 walmart shirts that can be bought new for only $6. This place also takes donated food and trys to sell it. Like you could give that to someone in need but you charge 99 cents - $1.99 for a box of off brand mac n cheese. They also know when a more valuable item is donated to them and put it behind the counter and charge more money than what you could pay on eBay. There is 2 ladies who work there that are always super rude. I still shop here to try and find a deal maybe 2-3 times a year.

    I went here because I got a 25% off coupon for donating clothing to them. I bought 4 items and when i got home and looked at my receipt I noticed i was charged for 5 items and the discount wasn't taken off my most expensive item which was $18.99. I only bought the 18.99 item because I knew i'd get a discount off of it. Being charged for the extra item I didn't buy totally cancelled out the coupon. Very disappointing! Also the prices were really high for getting the items for free. I would have bought more things, but wasn't going to buy them at their ridiculous prices. Almost $40 for scuffed up used heels!

    Amazing thrift! There’s a variety of everything for incredible prices! Including new stuff with tags on! From T-shirts to kitchen accessories, shoes, bags, linens, comforters, towels, couches and more! It’s a store you have to visit with time, because you’ll find a lot of good hidden treasures! Staff is beyond nice!

    Huge selection of clothing. Prices are excellent. I do like the store's inventory and they do have great prices! Good deals!

  • 4/5 Opal W. 2 years ago on Google
    I like shopping there but when it comes to clothes al sizes are together. You have to go through them all to find your size

  • 5/5 Erin O. 2 years ago on Google
    Quality stuff! About half of the items have really low prices. Some are a little high, but still pretty reasonable.

  • 5/5 Asia 1 year ago on Google
    Great items.......whole store 50% every last Tuesday of the month!!

    If your going to have carts, get a cart corral. One of your carts hit another persons car and came flying at mine. I took it inside. People are lazy and your parking lots too big. Its too windy out.

    Love this place! Always find just what I'm looking for and then some!

    I visited Friday evening for the first time and was unprepared for how amazing this place is! First, the store is HUGE - now I know I will definitely need to dedicate a few hours to go through everything here. I found a Kate Spade bag for $13 - extremely fair pricing given that the interior needs a good cleaning. I also found a no name bag that caught my eye. Using google lens, I was able to discover it is a vintage bag that sells on eBay for $75-$100 - I grabbed that for $18. I didn't look through the clothing and focused mainly on the accessories and homewares. The clothing is only organized by style and then by color so you will need to sort through each piece to find your size. I paid for my items and the young guy that checked me out was so kind and was easy to make conversation with. As a former manager for 7+ years of a consignment store, I know how the end of the day can be challenging to spark up a conversation with every person you ring out - especially because some customers can be quite rude when it comes to secondhand items. But this guy was awesome and totally appreciated him for ending my first trip here on such a positive note. I wish I had caught his name! But, young man who was working the register by the jewelry case the evening of 2/17/2023 - you rock! Thank you for discovering that my little brass apple knick knack had a secret compartment hiding peppermints :)

    Their prices on used currently produced cast iron cookware are way more expensive than buying the same make and model brand new at Wal-Mart. What a joke.

  • 4/5 Susan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of items for sale. Have 50 percent off everything on the last Tuesday of every month. Other days, there are percentages off for certain color of tag. Clothes are not sorted by size. No longer have to ask for a key at the cash register to use the restrooms.

    Great selection, organized by gender, category and size for most items, wonderful workers and amazing prices

  • 1/5 Let's Talk About i. 4 months ago on Google
    It's really sad how they have raised the prices and made thrifting not affordable Also they remove the majority of the sale items off the floor until the the color changes I was also told that by an employee there's no way to reach anyone over the store I asked for the corporate number and they gave me a non working number this use to be the best thrift store around not anymore prices has trippled and the new staff are not friendly at all I just left there and was followed around the store by a male worker

😠 This employee is very weird, my things were in the cart and he came up and asked, "can I take the cart?" I said no, I haven't finished yet, he stood and then takes my things out of the cart and puts the trash can on top. Picks up the cart and leaves. Was it really so hard to wait a couple of minutes...
