Extremely disappointed!!! I live a mile away and use to come in several times a week. After the management changed a few years ago I have watched it go downhill. I haven’t been in the store in a few months and decided to go today. Major disappointment!! The store is disorganized and dirty. The quality of the items are poor. The prices are outrageously overpriced!! For instance I seen a storage container from the dollar tree that is $1.25 marked $2. I understand that they have to make money but your product is used and donated for free!!! I would recommend a management change again!! I won’t be returning for awhile I certainly hope a change happens in that time.

I used to love shopping here for things I needed. I also donated to them frequently. I’m not sure what happened but their prices have become outrageous! I needed a few kitchen items; a cook pot and a muffin tin. I thought I would check there before buying something new. I was shocked! $12 for a cook pot when I can buy a brand new one for $8! $4 for a beat up used muffing tin when I can get the same one at dollar tree for $1.25! Hat shocked me the most is I spotted a small appliance I had donated, a ninja food processor and they were asking $125.00 for it! I only paid $130 for it new and it was four years old! Someone said it’s because people are buying the items and reselling them to make a profit. I don’t care! Let them! Maybe that’s how they’re feeding their families and paying bills! As long as this store is making some money off of items that were given to them free they shouldn’t care either! They won’t be getting anymore of my donations or money!

Highly impressed with my visit today. The staff members were very friendly. Also, the number of clothing items have increased greatly since the last time I shopped there. Wednesday and Fridays are bag days so you get eight pieces of clothing for $7. Definitely filled my bag today. 🌞

It's a very clean & organized thrift store. The prices are fair but i do think they should price items higher because it benefits a domestic violence shelter so it would be worth it. I made out like a bandit and got a lot of greeting cards about 50 or so and some books. I got my dog a new collar and some scrubs for work. I went out of my way to come here and I was happy with the haul!

I'm disappointed to say that my local thrift store has become a shadow of its former self. The prices have skyrocketed to absurd levels, seemingly based on eBay values rather than local market demand. This wouldn't be a problem if we were in a bustling city, but in our small town, it's simply unsustainable.

I miss the days when thrift shopping was a lifeline for low-income families like mine, providing access to quality items at affordable prices. It was a way to furnish our homes, clothe our kids, and find hidden gems without breaking the bank. Now, it feels like a luxury only the privileged can afford.

What's even more disheartening is that these items are donated by our community, with the intention of helping those in need. It's unacceptable to price them out of reach for the very people they're meant to assist. There's no need to be greedy with skyrocketing prices when the items are freely given.

As a result, the store is cluttered with overpriced items that have been sitting on shelves for months. It's clear that they're not adapting to the local customer base and instead are trying to cater to an online market. I've seen the same items collecting dust for far too long, and it's a shame.

I remember when this store was a treasure trove of affordable second-hand gems. Now, it feels like a pricey boutique. Until they reassess their pricing strategy and return to their roots of serving the local community, I'll be taking my thrift shopping elsewhere.

More of an overpriced boutique than a thrift store. Anything that’s nice they either put on their eBay store or price according to eBay value.

Great thrift shop. I’m not sure what the review was referring to about stuff being piled up with no real aisles…the entire shop was neat, items are all priced and displayed nicely. I left with a couple of nice finds today. Would love to stop in again if in the area.

This is a great little honey hole. I never leave without buying something. The store is organized and offers a large variety of items at great prices. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.
