They must not get very decent donations. I didn't find a single item that was worth buying, and I typically average $50 each thrift store stop.

This store is dirty. I feel like I need to wear gloves to shop here. I have found a few bargains, but they are few & far between. They are generally lower priced than the Goodwill stores. Lots of junk with a few decent items thrown in the mix. Purses are WAY OVERPRICED. Most of the staff is rude.

Overall a nice store - very busy, which leads to clutter that they do try to keep clean. Huge selection overall, especially clothing. Very high turnover of product - this is a store to visit often. There is a lot of junk in this store, but it's normally super cheap. Electrical items are often marked as "good" when they aren't, and they aren't returnable - so buyer beware and test it completely in the store. This store offers a lot of new stock - but these items are insanely priced and sold as-is... you can buy the same items for less, with a warranty, at pretty much any retail store. Recent trend toward "dreamer" eBay pricing on some used items.

The prices on furniture at this store are really high. I saw things for sale for more than they sold for full-price at a retail store.

Used to LOVE to shop here, but now the aisles are too close together, racks in the back so low you can't even see what are on them, and the pricing is getting ridiculous. Too bad :(

This store used to be pretty well organized, but it seems that someone recently got the bright idea to randomly spread the knick-knacks throughout the store on shelves above the clothing, making it impossible to just come in and look for a specific thing without searching the entire store.

Nice new store; clean and well organized. Prices somewhat bipolar, often from ridiculous to ignorant. Obvious 'picking' by employees. Still worth a stop, though.
