This has become my favorite local thrift shop to visit. You can use credit/debit cards and the store is quite large and organized well (IMO). There are donation bin in front to donate clothes and shoes when you come to shop. It is a bit dirty compared to some other thrifts in the area, but there is a good assortment of new/vintage clothes in a large range of sizes. Be ready for a good hand washing after your visit! This store is mostly clothing, with some shoes, knick-knacks/kitchenware and electronics and VHS tapes near the front. There is usually at least one color tag on sale on any given day that is posted near the front door (easy to miss).

BUYER BEWARE! There is a ‘No Return’ policy. You will need to wash your hands after you leave for they do not have a public restroom. There is one changing room of two in service, this is not a temp problem. Many times toys are in huge bins that a buyer must dig through. The store is quite large, mainly clothing but all sorts of categories can be found there. Most items that are on overstuffed racks so that muscle must be used to see the items or their tags. When clothing is tagged, it is done with two tight staples, even if a price gun with the plastic attachment is used, there will be a hole(s) in the fabric for the people doing the pricing do not use seams to keep the fabric items safe from damage. Many items are slightly broken, stained or torn, yet sold as others in better condition. Clothing is ALWAYS unorganized making the buyer look at all racks when it could be done correctly by the workers. The mgr. is aware, but the problem is ongoing. The manager is gruff, unless working the register. The workers (mgr included) seem mainly to be doing their hours and care not for the organization itself. Those taking donations outside the store are super. I have only seen one employee inside who is genuinely caring and friendly. Her time there is short for she is pregnant. My ADVICE, look over the items you wish to buy VERY carefully for once paid it is then yours. This includes looking to see if you will have any damages after the price tag is removed. A store of great selection with new things daily. A wonderful place to visit for those alert with time and good eyesight.
