“Wonderful place to donate items no longer needed. They don't accept pillows but they do with bedding. Everything being donated needs to be in good condition. Nice people 😊.”
“I was in the area and happened upon this GEM! Truly a wonderful experience shopping here. The owners are so friendly and helpful. They opened 4 months ago. They are focused on sustainability and affordability, and their deal of 15% off if you bring items in to donate is amazing. The size range is XS to XXL or larger on most racks. The owners want to continue expanding their size range too, which I really appreciate! The selection of items was really well-curated. I picked out 7 items and spent $39. I also appreciated how they had seating around the store and every rack was very well-organized. I will be back soon!”
“Expect to spend hours in here! Sooo many funny things! Enjoy all my photos, I took more than 50, but that's all Googly allows! We were here Tues, 7/21/26. Love this store, and the awesome employees!”
“A very thoughtfully laid-out shopping experience. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Came across a few great finds at reasonable prices... including a metal bat for my belfry.”
“Very unique thrift store that is always getting in very interesting items. Very friendly staff. The only bad thing I'll say is the layout of the store is a bit chaotic and could use a bit better management on that part. That one thing aside this is a fun place to check out. Especially both for those looking for good bargains and to support local businesses.”

“Tis a dandy place. Cvs always has awesome Halloween specials where you can buy the candy at a good sale price after Halloween. The Family Dollar store is there which generally has a lot of merchandise at a slightly cheaper price, but doesn't have a bathroom. The thrift store is there and has a wonderful vibe to it plus a bathroom with nice manual sinks and paper towels. I never used to shop in thrift stores but now I find myself sometimes doing so. The bar there also has tasty cheese curds. There is also a verizon phone store, a smoke shop, and more stores. I wouldn't recommend the laundry place since the guy was rather peculiar & didn't provide the best customer service.”
“Majority of offerings are true thrift prices. Be prepared to go on offense like a receiver trying to get to the end zone if your are cartless while navigating the aisles. Hard working volunteers.”

“I prefer the location in Waconia but this store offers furniture and other large home goods not available in Waconia. Aisles are wide and easy to shop and walk through. I like how the donation area is at the back but that I can also bring smaller donations in through the front. Very helpful and kind staff that are always available for questions.”
“Prop Shop - The best communication with a Donations organization I’ve ever had. Shout out to Vicki Bomben, Ops Dir. Not only was she pleasant and responsive but thoughtful to assist with referrals to several local Donation centers. That really helped me out. Thank you Vicki.”
“An affordable small business with snacks and other goods.
Bout as cheap as you can get in retail.
5 stars for the positive environment.”
“I went to many different shops and tried on many different dresses, but Andrea's was far and away the best experience I had. All five of my top choices were from this shop, and Nikolina is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Beyond the sustainability and nostalgia of a vintage dress, their gowns are stunning. I promise that they have something for everyone. I tried on many dresses I never would have considered and I'm so glad I did. I still get so many compliments on my dress, and it's unlike anything I'd ever seen before. I couldn't even find a picture of it online (believe me, I tried). The collection of unique, beautiful, and vintage gowns blew me away. It was so fun to try on dresses from so many different decades. They are also really good about working within your budget. I can't recommend Andrea's enough!”
“Nice place. Not really a thrift store, per se. Has multiple dealers and signage calling it an “Artisan Marketplace”. Quite a bit of furniture and housewares. None or little clothing.”
“Very good food shelf. They have gluten free food too. Anyone in MN can go there. I got tons of produce. I just didn’t like how people were pushing me away from food I was looking at and budging in front of me. My IHS worker also said someone interrupted when we were trying to talk to someone at the desk.”
“Very nice staff and a vey clean uncluttered store. They have a separate room for their bigger furniture pieces for you to look at. I would highly recommend this place!”

“I went there with a friend, I found a nearly new mattress pad for $5.00 it was red tagged the color of the week so it was 1/2 off yay. My friend found work shoes for $6.99. Many many jackets & t shirts. Housewares galore. Many items priced well below retail. Very clean and well organized.”
“Thrifting is my thing and when you go to Unique, you will be guaranteed to find that specific color shirt, however, expect that it may be the perfect shirt, but not the most ideal perfect price! I know that times are tough for all for costs, but could always be a lower price! It is very nice to be able to get a coupon for when you donate each time, whereas other stores you only get very few special discount days they choose! This store in particular is one of my favorites in the metro area because there is a lot of fun things to look at and unique finds that you can truly find if you take the time! Why would you buy something for full price makes me wonder what the point would be if you could go to Unique and even find brand new clothes never worn or used with the price tag still on it!”
“Empty the Nest is an occasional secondhand store with lots of unique finds, tucked in an office strip off the beaten path. They are typically open weekends but you'll want to join the 45k other facebook followers and keep an eye out for their hours and sales. There will likely be a line waiting for the doors to open on the first day of the sale. The second day they may discount everything 50%, sometimes more. Be sure to grab some green sold stickers near the entrance to claim your find in case another shopper is interested.
The reason they aren't open during the week is because the are busy emptying out houses as a part of their business model.
We enjoy bringing the kids and finding fun vintage toys and decor.
You'll definitely want to check it out of you love the thrill of the treasure hunt aspect!”
“Found just was we needed and reused! Absolutely love Goodwill. This store in particular exceeded my expectations it has 0 smell and it’s nicely laid out as a Ross or a TJ max. Clean and tidy too!”
“If you're a nifty thrifty type of person, you might like this place. It's like thrift shopping on steroids because people literally go through the carts here. I hear it can get pretty intense though when the employees bring out a new cart to thrift through.”
“Easier and more organized than I thought it would be. Staff was friendly and deals were great. Was able to find a lot of nice items for a fraction of the usual retail thrift prices. There were of course some odd ducks - some guy nearly pushed me over because he wanted to be the first one to look through all the fresh bins in an entire row and another person kept trying to put her things in my car and take my items, but that's just weird people not the fault of the staff there. Would definitely go again. Beware that Apple Maps will try to take you a really roundabout way of getting there through like three parking lots rather than just down the road that it's on.”
“Was here valentines day, super busy.. A Saturday! Hi, mainly looking at the office supplies, puzzles, and beauty supplies, and also maybe the lamps. Based on those things, I felt like prices were very reasonable, especially for the puzzles, ranging from $2.99 through $5.99, on average I think I pay about $4 for a puzzle here. Now there are some puzzles that are $6.99, or $8.99. I don't buy those puzzles. I like the thrill of the hunt. And I can find it elsewhere . But today, lots of employees were working, very organized shelves, please see the attached photos I tried to take 50 which is the max that Google will allow me to share. Lots of ample parking, on one side of the store, and then another side of the store. I did see a wheelchair that people could use while shopping. I did not use the bathroom. I would definitely come here again if I was down here in the area.”

“This location has some pretty good stuff on occasion. It’s in a pretty good area will theres a fairly decent chance you’ll find some goodies. People are typically quite friendly here and it’s not a sketchy location either so you can find comfort in that. Employees and people that come here are pretty great and friendly!”
“This might be my favorite Goodwill yet! Great selection and very fair prices. The manger was even gracious enough to haggle with me on the price of a pair of shorts I wanted but were just a bit out of my budget. They are doing the lords work!”
“I stopped by to check out the Halloween selection since it was 30%off for VIP members. The store is clean and organized. Lots of items to look throughout. Employers are very busy stocking. I love go look for books and I always find plenty.”
“The staff that work at the front counters are always so friendly and I am so thankful they volunteer to keep this wonderful treasure in Minnetonka going. I never donate to Goodwill always to AbleLight (Bethesda as I still call it).”
