About Last Chance Store
Last Chance Store is a place known for having wild and unusual items, making it a fun spot for treasure hunting. Customers often find unique and inexpensive items, such as $1 toys for kids, especially on special days like Wednesdays when the bins are priced at just one dollar. However, the store has experienced some issues lately. Many of the fabulous finds have been moved to the front of the store and priced higher, and the daily prices have increased. As a result, the bins are often filled with less valuable items, and some customers feel they are not cleaned out regularly.
The store's concept is good, but there are some challenges. There are no shopping carts, which makes it hard for shoppers to carry their finds. Additionally, some reviews mention a negative experience with staff, particularly a security guard who was described as treating customers poorly and acting in a controlling manner. An incident involved the security guard accusing a shopper of bad attitude and calling the owner, leading to a tense situation where the owner attempted to fix a jammed towel with a knife. There were also reports of theft, with a woman taking items from a shopper’s cart without permission.
Despite these issues, many visitors still enjoy browsing the store for treasures and appreciate the thrill of the hunt. The store offers a mix of wild items and interesting experiences, but improvements in customer treatment and store organization could enhance the overall experience.

Lot of stuff torn apart but if you go on Wednesday, everything is $1 USD. They restock on Thursday, so Friday has the most stuff, but at the highest price. Good to bargain shop if you have time.

Went here twice on a Wednesday and it was closed before the posted closing hours. They are not well maintained like other bin stores, lots of empty boxes, broken items on the bin, price is higher than other bin stores too. No shopping cart to use or big bags provided for heavy items, bring your own ikea bag or wagon
