I went to check this place out and get some shirts for my son. Everything is second hand. The clerk told me all of the items are donated and very few are purchased from other thrift stores, some in the cities that will sell clothing at $1 per pound apparently. The prices on the merchandise however are marked at or just barely below full retail. Absolutely not a reflection of used merchandise at all. I don’t recommend shopping here since they are ripping people off with their extremely overpriced USED clothing, shoes, accessories and whatnots. You can literally go to Kohl’s or Penny’s, in the same mall, and buy the stuff for about the same price and it will be new and not used. Worst “thrift” store I’ve ever been in.Editing to add response to owners comment:A couple key words are “garage sale”. Garage sale quality items should have garage sale quality prices. Your prices are that of new retail and you happen to be located within a fairly poor community. In my opinion that is what is “rude”. I bet if your prices reflected the fact that the merchandise is thrift merchandise, instead of high dollar department store merchandise, you would actually sell more product and make more profit. Sometimes less really is more. My review was “nice” btw. I didn’t blast you for trying to sell a decades old used leather jacket from Wilson’s (not known as top notch quality btw) for full retail, as if it was brand spanking new and still smelled like the leather factory. I bought a better used one for $20 and you want almost $200. LOL.

I cannot even express how much I love Up Thrift! The best part is not just the awesome clothing finds, but my 9 year old son loves to shop with me! He could spend hours looking at all the fun toys and fun foods while I get my thrift fix. Staff are so friendly and helpful and all around great place to shop on a bargain!! Go shop and bring the whole family!

Love this store! The owners put their heart and soul into the place, changing and adapting to meet the needs and interests of their customers. I’m constantly getting compliments on the clothing I’ve gotten there and my kids love the candies, gifts, and drinks that you can’t find anyplace else in town. A must stop when visiting the mall … or Bemidji!

[Edit from owners reply: I get it, it's hard to run a business and adapting to customers is a part of growing that business and making a good wage for yourself and your employees. I may have come out as harsh through my review, but I think it's a good idea to separate these things from children's and teen's wandering eyes. I have left leaning beliefs myself, like you guys do. But to mention war in the last paragraph is truly unacceptable. Sure, worse things are happening I understand that. I stand with the people who are suffering across the USA and the world. But using those terrible instances as a scape goat to corroborate your business's practices is weird and very misplaced. I feel like that is not spreading awareness at all in the way you feel like it is. It truly is hurtful and very unprofessional. Maybe you should have more perspective before saying those things in that last paragraph, these things aren't happening for you to use it to defend you're business that is utterly and truly disgusting. I never mentioned a single thing about war in my review... I just think kids should be shielded from these things because more than ever now, kids are growing up too fast and that can lead to terrible things happening. Have a good day.]This place sells adult toys WIDE out in the open for kids to see. Not only that but I see that minors work there and sell that stuff to customers... it's very disgusting. This is supposed to be a thrift store... I was mind boggled when I saw this. I loved what this store used to be; clothes, candy, and fun drinks. But now it sells bongs out in the open, adult toys out in the open and it really confuses me what this store's story / message is. Don't get me wrong I love 420 things but I can even recognize that this stuff should be put in a 21+ room separate from the sales floor and from children's eyes.

Love this store! The best thrift store in Bemidji. Friendly staff and great variety of clothes for everyone. The store and its clothes are clean and high quality and a lot of great high end brands at a very reasonable price!

I love this store! I've watched it expand over the years and they have everything. I wish there was one closer to the cities!

I bought a ring here. It was supposed to be sterling silver. Cost me $25 and after wearing it for an hour it has turned my finger completely green. I could get the same quality ring for $1 off some bootleg Chinese website. Waste of $25 and they don’t do returns.

A very clean, organized, and amazing store. I love the original concept of the overseas candy/drinks and stickers in the front of the shop and the high quality used clothes for the rest of the shop. The employee I spoke to was kind and nice and helped me when I needed it. I will shop here again!

This thrift store is cool as hell! Never seen a thrift store with anything more than just thrifty stuff. They have CBD/Delta products which was interesting. My favorite part though was the incredible selection of obscure American candy as well as foreign candy & food! Service was very friendly as well which is always greatly appreciated.

It is very good selling non native candies at a cheap price and sometimes they will have good clothes or toys
