Always a pleasure to leisure shop AND FIND unique things at this and other Alpha Thrist Store locations. Plus that they are a charity for local brain injured, creates deep respect for who this organization is.

Huge thrift store with a lot to see and go through! Well organized. Got a great black velvet dress for the holidays for $12. I think their prices are totally reasonable.
