Smaller, but really nice thrift store. Large selection. Friently people! Could use some more mens clothing, but I say that about every thrift store.
Thank you very much for your 5 star review. We work very hard as both staff and volunteers to have a very clean and organized shopping experience for our customers. As a nonprofit thrift store, we have many very generous donators who support our mission of helping others in need so we get lots of really great donations to sell!

the prices can be on the higher end, but you can def find cool stuff and not overpay. i like echoes because they are one of the only thrift stores in the area who consistently tags clothes correctly. most of the others just stick it wherever and leave obvious unsightly holes, but here you can tell there's someone who cares and puts effort into getting it right.
Thank you, Layne, for your five star review. You are correct in that we care very much about the items that make it to our sales floor. Our goal is to have a very clean and organized shopping experience for our customers. We are glad that you find it easy to find what your are looking for in our store. You are correct that some of our prices are on the higher end, but that is because they are high quality pieces. Because we are a non profit thrift store who helps others in need with our proceeds we are blessed with many amazing donations from people who support our mission. And yet we try to offer our customers great deals too. Our goal is to mark merchandise at 25% - 33% of brand new retail prices. (25% in a gently used condition and up to 33% if its brand new with tags). So many items like Eddie Bauer, Lands End, Gap, Columbia, Coach, etc. will have higher prices. We thank you for your kind words and we look forward to your shopping with us again!

Just discovered this thrift store today. I found a lot of items that were high-quality and bargain prices. The ladies that work there were very friendly. Based on this experience, I Will be donating my items to this organization
Thank you, Steven. Because of our mission to help others throughout our community with our proceeds, we are blessed with really amazing donations! Many are high end, some still have brand new tags and most are in gently used condition. We are a 100% non profit resale shop. After our expenses are covered we give all of our proceeds back out to other non profit groups like Harbor House, Pillars and Leaven to name a few. We really appreciate your five star review and we look forward to you shopping with us again sometime soon. :)

Great selection of clothing......even had a decent selection of old board games....found one I played as a kid. Helpful and kind staff. I don't usually give a 5 star review, but after such a thoughtful and considerate response from the owner, I had to come back and edit.
Thank you Phil for your four star review. We do have a great selection of clothing for the entire family! We are happy you found a board game that brought back fond childhood memories! Isn't it fun to shop a thrift store that can bring back fun memories with the items we see? Any feedback to get us to a five star rating? That is certainly always our goal and we appreciate feedback from our customers to help us get there. Thanks again for your patronage of our store!

Cheap prices, clean store! The books for adults are $2 for hardback and $1 for Paperback. Kids books are $1 and 50 Cents! I bring all of my donations here, since their prices, especially books are so reasonable-- unlike Goodwill!
