“You never know what you will find, but it is always fun and the merchandise is great. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. They are great at styling looks for you! It's like shopping with friends!”
“Store 3/4 on the Thrift Store Trip #1. Only 1 thing I found here automatically rated this place 5 stars and only one factor helped me. Prices, and a 49 CENT MIDLAND WR-120B, going for over 15 dollars on EBAY, LITERALLY IM NOT JOKING THIS IS THE BEST THRIFT STORE IVE EVER BEEN TO.”
“I'm a first-time shopper at this thrift store and pet rescue! I entered and heard dogs barking and was curious and intrigued at the concept of helping animals in need. It is a very large thrift store and jam-packed with all kinds of items. The picture section was one of the largest I have seen in a thrift store. They also had some unique antique and vintage items mixed in the newer and more everyday thrift store items.I did get to see the dogs, and the area was clean and smelled fresh. There was a new arrival dog in a kennel who looked comfortable and relaxed. (See photo) They even had a cat sitting room, which looked clean and pet friendly.They had a lot of nice items and clothes. We ended up buying a bunch of items, and the lady at the cash register was really nice!Spend some time there looking high and low because things can be buried or tucked back in shelves.”
“Quality things ready for a second home! It's one thing to run a thrift store, but it's another thing to run an efficient and organized business. Super impressed with this small store! Big shoutout to the current owners. Love this place.”
“This place is small but is filled with great items. The prices are honestly incredible. 2.50 for sweaters and 1.50 for t shirts is amazing. They definitely help out the community with affordable clothing. The ladies that helped me were great. Honestly this is a great place to go to get items. I highly recommend it!”
“Great place for DIY & GC's looking for a solid selection random items to finish that home improvement project you have. This place also has a pretty decent select of home furnishings from time to time, obviously if you find something you like you'd best purchase it right away as it will most likely be sold soon.”
“This is a good flea market with friendly vendors and staff, tasty food and beverage and items sold at very low prices. The only thing that was off was when I went (on a Friday) more than half the vendors were not there and their spaces were closed. Besides that this is a good flea market though.”
“It's a small shop, but very friendly staff. Street parking out front or parking lot in the back. They are cash only. All proceeds are donated to different charities.”

“Thought I could purchase items at this location. A very nice staff member explained to me this facility does not have items for sale. She was very nice to me. Just needed to add this for The Salvation Army.”
“Might be an odd comment, but this was the nicest smelling Goodwill I've ever come across. The selection overall was pretty average. Some sections were more organized than others. The book prices were awesome!! Nothing over $3.”
“Donation retail store. If you like second-hand shopping or thrifting, then this is a decent store. I always find something when I go here. Don't go thinking this is going to be a high-end store but you will find a bargain.”
“This is a great plato's. Better selection than most it's honestly a great value and the workers are nice. People like leaving bad reviews cause this Plato's wont take their musty dated clothes- like yeah that's how they keep their nice selection! ? Never had an issue selling here either.”
“This location is decent. The staff is younger and friendly. They usually have decent selection of secondhand items. They offered military discount on Mondays & I believe senior discount on a certain day too. They always offer a color of the week for 50% off as well. The parking lot sucks but just be aware when driving in. The donation shares the same entrance and exit which can make it tricky for people leaving the actual store.”
