Comment: These kinds of outlets are about the luck of the draw. Sometimes you spot something which you have been looking for a while or you need desperately or can think of a use for, and pick it up at a bargain. Today, thats what happened to me. So no harm browsing around thrift stores just for time pass.

Comment: My favorite thrift store and thankful it is less than a 10 minute drive from me so I can visit almost every other week! Actually my bank statement isnt as thankful. I can always find a steal here, what hooked me in initially was the wide amount of fabric they had for ~2$/yd but recently that selection has been pretty small. Now I go for 1$ sewing patterns and lots of random crafting tools and supplies. The cashiers always give a fair price if I find something which doesnt have a price marked on it.

Comment: It’s a nice store overall. They have the biggest book section I’ve ever seen among local thrift stores and the books are really cheap here. Also great selection of furniture, some items are brand new (donated buy local furniture stores?) but those can be pricy which kinda makes sense I guess. Houseware section isn’t so great here although I bought some nice things like a kitchen compost bin but never found any good mugs or salad bowls. Women’s clothing section is nice, big assortment of jeans but NO FITTING ROOM unfortunately.The reason I gave it 4 stars is that lately they failed to open at their regular opening time twice. I was there yesterday at 10:30 and today at 10:15 and both times the gate was closed and there was a line of cars waiting for them to open but they left eventually so did I.

Comment: This place is a great treasure trove. Its got tons of furnature from tables couches lamps shelves dinettes and more. A whole section of books. Kitchen and housewares. Clothes shoes and accessories. Even holiday decor. If you go on the right day you can even get it discounted. Service is pretty friendly also. If you are shopping for that unique piece try looking here. Its hard to leave empty handed.

Comment: I like shopping here- nice people and I always find great books and things. Only complaint is that I wish theyd stop writing prices directly on the items with Sharpie pens. Often I cant get it off no matter how much I scrub it and its very disappointing. Otherwise, great thrift store!

Comment: Mens clothing is nice slightly used and new stuff mixed in. The book section is well stocked and organized as is rest of entertainment section. Furniture takes up a good large section and the other aisles are fun to walk down and look for something specific like a set of plates while I spot interesting items I forgot I needed like an ice-mold in the shape of an animal. There is stuff I never thought Id see again and a bunch more home necessities that are priced nice and low.

Comment: Donating here is so easy! Drive through the gates on the right of the building during their donation days and hours. Pull up to the stop sign and a person will help you. Today they accepted my blankets and scrapbooking luggage bag. They don’t take kids toys or pilllows. Hand your bags to the helpers; do not set them on the ground.

Sometimes staff is rude, and place is unorganized sometimes the stuff is friendly place is nicely organized, things are priced reasonable.... It depends on your luck .. if you want to donate furniture you need to call them first, sometimes they say were not accepting furniture right now...
