I stopped in today to drop off donations, and arrived at 5:02. They stop accepting donations at 5, and I was pretty bummed after making the trip across town. I didn’t catch the sweet woman’s name that works there, but she has curly hair and glasses, and was so kind! She directed me to the blue bin for my bags of clothing items, and was so kind to take the three other items I had that didn’t qualify for the outside drop off bin. I know she went above and beyond by taking these items inside for me and allowing me to complete my donation trip. Thank you for your kindness and service!

This place is amazing I work here and shop here, the store is full of all the latest styles and is cheaper than Plato’s and Uptown who have comparable items but I can also buy household goods too. The staff here are like family and they love their customers who also become regular shoppers. Working at this location is wonderful as well as having a mission to help homeless individuals. Your moneys worth is used to support many aspects of this company’s mission we even give gift cards to a ministry of your choice just for donating with us! Here you will find all sorts of treasures and trendy items for your home and wardrobe! I love this place So much I come in on my off days to shop for myself, my family and my home. This location is the very best both career and free time! Must see for yourself.

One of my favorite thrift stores. They have a great selection of nice womens kids and mens clothes. Prices are a little higher than a goodwill or other ones but its and nice store and it's still cheaper then retail. Found alot of clothes with tags on them. Would recommend if looking for thrift shops.

The prices are hit or miss. Some things were fair and others were higher than current retail. If I was in need or in need of a deal I wouldn't shop here. Just looking for some quirky finds I did find a couple fun items.

I've been shopping here regularly for a couple years. I used to go in and buy whatever I saw that I was interested in and hardly looked at the price,bc everything was so cheap. The last few time (since summer 2017) I've noticed a steep increase in prices. I understand the profits go towards a good cause, but I no longer buy many things,only get something if I really need/love it. It's no longer cheaper than Goodwill. Bummer. Came back again, I do really like this store, but I continue to be bummed that their pricing is higher each time I enter the store. Clothes are no longer get cheaper here than Goodwill :(. For this I have to take a star away.
