“I read about Heck's on social media- and have gone four times! The best and most interesting thrift store I have really ever seen! I always get tons of treasures for dirt cheap. I am going today before my 11:30 am shift starts. Yea! The atmosphere is relaxed chic shabby just like me! Don't change a thing but maybe add Thurs hours if possible.”
“Contacted Sheri via email about consigning a piece of furniture. Sheri responded promptly and priced the piece based on her professional experience. The piece sold very quickly. Would highly recommend.”
“I went here for the first time and absolutely fell in love. It clean and neat. The owner and staff are very friendly, and a side note the music playing made me want to shop more b/c I was dancing so much to the R&B music. I bought more than enough items and reasonably prices I definitely plan on going in a couple times a month.”
“Whenever I am in the area, which is about once or twice a month, I stop in. They sell a lot of cool stuff. Everything's is priced to be a great value. It is easy to get in and out, the place is on the parkway, the "BT" as the locals call it.”
“I’m a plus size lady and it’s hard to find quality clothing at consignments. I’ve always found something here. I love how friendly everyone is and how I have a great selection.”
“I would like to start by saying this is a lovely store with a great selection of items. On my most recent visit, I unfortunately had a poor experience. The cashier today was on an incredibly personal call while tending the store. I could hear everything including the person on the other line. They were swearing and talking about their personal relationships and even how business today was slow and they weren’t making many sales today! It was highly inappropriate. Even when a customer was checking out the attendant kept on the phone call. I found it very rude and it made for an uncomfortable shopping experience.”
“So glad that I found this place! Great items and a great staff! Plenty of treasures for a reseller like myself with a staff willing and ready to negotiate AND carefully pack fragiles.”
“Wonderful ... Gotta say, this was the BEST experience in a thrift shop in my life since moving to the area.The owners are great, the workers are helpful, and the store mascot is cute as a button. Only thing missing were bad, nasty attitudes!! Refreshing to FINALLY find a store where customer service is realized as a key factor in the survival of the business.No more Goodwill or Walmart for me. Is this place or nowhere from now on!”
“Very nice place to go thrifting. Quality items at super affordable prices. Plenty of luxury items to shop for too. They had Louis Vuitton and Dooney & Bourke bags. Designer shoes too. There are 2 small changing rooms to try things on. Staff was very friendly. Plenty of parking.”

“I can’t say enough about how much I love the amazing Consignment Originals shop in my community of Avon, CT. This is the place to go for top-quality items at a fraction of their original prices. Timeless or trendy clothes are offered at prices that won’t damage your budget but will add value to your wardrobe.There’s something for everyone. Clothes are stylish & well made, and the household items are affordable & sought after. Famous brand names are available as well as some vintage or classic pieces.Since the store’s opening, I’ve found the level of customer service there to be over the top. The desire to go above and beyond is what they’re all about. It’s a friendly place where they know your name and will help you select items to meet your individual needs. When you’re at the check out with your purchases, staff is genuinely happy for your fabulous finds. They‘ll gladly put an item on hold or explain their point system, special sales, or store events with refreshments & raffle prizes.I love decluttering my closets and then making money through consigning. I then look for great buys on handbags, jewelry, gifts, clothes, home decor, and even art. This shop is the best place to do that. It’s a jewel of a find for shoppers who love a bargain.What makes this store distinctive is the helpful & welcoming staff, the quality of the items, the consigning process, and the many extras they offer. It’s definitely worth the trip to shop at Consignment Originals of Avon, CT. You won’t be disappointed!Cindi”
“"I'd pay any price just to get you I'd work all my life and I will To win you I'd stand naked, stoned, and stabbed I'd call that a bargain, the best I ever had" (The Who) When you find out that a thrift store is running a "35% off" sale to mark their 5th anniversary, well any bargain seeking red blooded American would head on over, just like we just did. The store is larger than the one we customarily visit in Simsbury, so I didn't feel cramped walking around alongside a fair number of fellow shoppers. It's very neat and well organized inside and seemed to have a lot of merchandise. I saw the usual dishes, housewares, women's and men's shoes (including some gorgeous Air Jordans), shirts, blouses, outerwear, pants and jeans, plus sportscoats and men's suits ($25 or so). Some of the more unusual things I saw was an impressive collection of "I Love Lucy" memorabilia, and hiding among the audio CD's was a William Hung CD! He made quite a splash on American Idol 20 years ago, and if you're too young to know who he is, go check him out on YouTube. I bought a long sleeve white dress shirt, a red tie, and my wife bought a long sleeve top. After the 35% discount we paid an obscene $16 for everything. Yes, quite the bargain indeed. PRO TIP Parking is a bit of a toss-up, their lot is micro-sized, so you'll probably end up parking on a side street like we did.”
“I’ve been coming to this goodwill for years and highly recommend. I just lost my phone in there and everyone on the team was SO KIND AND HELPFUL. Such nice people. I really appreciate it!”
“I was really impressed at how neat, clean and organized this store is! They had a great variety of items for children of all ages. The store had very clear policies about selling items and give you a helpful handout about selling for new customers, which I really appreciated. I liked that they accepted some toys, and not just clothing.”
“I love a good trip to Plato’s closet, however I haven’t been to the Wethersfield location. I stopped in the other day and felt very welcomed. I have gone to other stores and normally they don’t acknowledge your existence. However my experience at this store was quite the opposite. I was looking for clothes for my daughter and often struggle to know what she likes. I asked an employee for an opinion and she was more than happy to help. She took the time to help me shop around. I felt like a VIP customer as she helped me find the brands my daughter loves. I am beyond grateful for my experience at this Plato’s closet. Ashley was the name of the lovely girl who helped me and she deserves all the appreciation. I will never go to another Plato’s besides this. Thank you Ashley for all it help my daughter loved everything!!”
