I love visiting this store! Just stopping by and browsing is so much more fun in this friendly, family atmosphere. It's like walking in and Alex personally greets you, like you've been friends forever, haha. I stop by almost every week.

I had a great shopping experience at Bridge Thift with the awesome help of Natalie Nelson. She helped me put together a fantastic Halloween costume – she was a delight to work with and knew the store so well. I’ll be back and hope Natalie will be there to help me again!
