Thrift Stores near Hobart, IN

“I don't understand the negative reviews. Everything is organized, store is clean, employees are pleasant, & if you catch a 50% off day like memorial day .....💃🏽 even better.”

“This place is really cool but if you don’t like rummaging through things or you’re looking for like a more polished store, you might not like this one. I personally thought it was an amazing store and the people who run it are so friendly and they’re willing to answer any questions or help you in anyway they can. This place is amazing. I love it and I’ve only been one time. I’m definitely coming back!”

“Alpha Family is a very clean, well-organized resale shop with a wonderful selection of quality items at very reasonable prices. From clothing for every age to jewelry, home goods, and even brand-new items with the original tags still attached, there's always something special to discover.

The husband-and-wife owners are wonderful people who genuinely care about their community. Their kindness and Christian values are evident in everything they do. I regularly donate high-quality items there, most recently a Coach purse, because I want my donations to benefit a business that gives so much back to their community.

My husband found a high-end pair of cowboy boots for a great price, and I try to stop in at least once a month because every visit feels like a treasure hunt. If you're looking for great deals, unique finds, and a business that truly cares about its community, Alpha Family is well worth a visit.”

“This is the best resale shop around. Very clean and well organized. Great friendly staff. I have gotten some really nice things there and I don't feel like they are over priced. I am usually in there for awhile as there is so much to look at.”

“I purchased a Queensize Bed (Dreamifly). I am so pleased with the professional service that I received from Dan and his crew. Thank you Dan so much. I will refer Thrifty Mac to all my friends. You guys are great! I will see you very soon with more purchases. Keep up the good work in the community.”

“Nice small shop where it appears you can rent small booths to sell your things. Not many treasures to be found, but prices are mostly fair. Depends on the vendor, though. The back room is increasingly becoming a place to sell expired snacks.”

“This Goodwill is very clean and well organized! They had a good variety of adults clothes, but had a lack of children’s clothes that were in good condition. I didn’t end up buying any clothes, but I did find two really nice purses for $3.99 each. We had great prices on accessories, purses some household goods, but the price is on clothes were a little expensive for my opinion. Period for example I would find a pair of shorts for nine or $10 here and could find a similar pair for $4-5 dollars at a different thrift store down the street.
Don’t get me wrong. This is definitely a good Goodwill and I will definitely be back. Just think the price for clothing is a little high.”

“Some Goodwill’s you can walk into and find good stuff for a reasonable price and other ones you go in are horrific and you come out feeling like you need a shower. But my son is very much into shopping resale - it’s just something about their generation, they like to buy clothes from previous generations.
I find it a little humorous that if there’s a tag attached to anything that gets donated, they market at $8.99 even if the item itself wasn’t worth $8.99 to begin with. But during one of our looks at a Goodwill, I found a beautiful Coach purse for five dollars and it was actually a purse from the 80s. I did a little research on it so I was surprised to find out that it was pure leather, and the lining was in perfect condition. I like that because it’s a quality purse without having some designers name all over it. I really do not like being a billboard for companies that I’ve already bought something from them. It’s like being double taxed - I bought your shirt. Your shirt has your company’s name on the front of it. You’re getting free advertising from a person who just bought something from your store. You don’t need to advertise to people who are already buying your merchandise - so there’s another punch to the gut. It’s not like they’re advertising to me, but by me wearing it I get to become an ambassador to that product. That’s not always a great way to run your business.”

“When you arrive to the Goodwill Outlet be aware of the T- Shirt Gang that's there. They are a group of six to eight guys that surrounds the bins from all sides and stop the other customers from going to that bin.”

“This place is the best! I'm literally leaving a review because I saw 3 one star reviews and I was astonished by them. This store not only actually helps people in need unlike goodwill where they don't pay their employees a decent wage and they keep most of their profits vs donating them to help others. Also this store does a great job of organizing their inventory they even have plain shirt color coordinated at the front it's awesome and easy to find whatever you want. I've never had any issue with their employees. They have always been nice and helpful when I needed their help. To sum it up this is probably my favorite thrift store in the area if not my favorite the only place that comes close is in Hammond which isn't exactly in the area but still the same county.”
