“Drop by this shop for a quick look at their wares! They're constantly getting new items. They do a fantastic job fixing up old items into a treasure you can bring home. I pop by at least a couple times a month to see what they have, and I've already brought home a few pieces that I fell in love with!”
“encore is incredibly well organized and you can find so many unique pieces. if you’re a teen/adolescent, i’d maybe recommend coming here. it’s pretty hit or miss but very doable to find banger statement pieces. additionally, encore has a discount system in which if an article of clothing has been on the racks for a certain amount of time, you can receive a 50% or 75% off. many of the pieces are carefully handpicked to ensure that customers only get the best of the best. the vintage section at the bottom of the store is totally worth checking out too even if you’re not just to vintage clothing! the owners are such lovely people and are incredibly helpful.”
“Centsibly Chic is hands-down the best vintage thrift shop in West Saint Paul! The staff is absolutely wonderful—always welcoming and helpful—which makes hunting through their amazing selection of fun, unique treasures even more enjoyable. I’m constantly blown away by the incredible deals I find here; it’s the perfect spot to score high-quality vintage pieces without breaking the bank. Highly recommend stopping in!”
“A great selection of brands and high-quality consigned items. I appreciated that the building was well air-conditioned so I stayed cool when trying on clothes. All 3 staff members I spoke with today were very friendly and welcoming!”
“A thrift store with a decent sized mens collection?! No way! Plenty of mens jackets, shirts, and sweaters! I actually managed to find a long wool overcoat there (in my size!) what wasn't 50% polyester for sub $100. The outercoat itself was wool with a nylon lining. Plenty of old grandpa sweaters, which always rock, and flannels.
This store 100% has my future business.”
“I've been shopping here for years now and it's one of my favourite spots in the Twin Cities. First of all, the owners are just really kind and welcoming people. Secondly, it's one of those shops where I never come away empty handed. Lots of well selected cool vintage items, a nice selection of clothes and there's always some great records in stock. It's well organised and even the music playing is usually great. Just a really cool place to check out.”

“My 1st time at shop. Very nice and welcoming staff. Clean and organized shop. Amazing prices. Highly recommend this Thrift shop. Bought a very nice purse for a reasonable price.”
“My son and I visited here for the first time. He/him is very petite but did find something he liked. I found a perfect hat. There is soooo much in this store! 2 concerns, women sizes only go to large. And it it so tight it is completely disabled impossible!! So only 4 stars. However, we'll be going back! Cool place.”
“I’ve been going to Lula’s for a long time.Her reputation in the city is unmatched. And not just for fab party dresses but she might put out a rack out of high-waisted wide-leg 70’s pants that you can't find anywhere else or a pair of 60's virgin wranglers to go with that cashmere coat or summer crop top. It always feels fresh and new when you walk in the store and you'll feel the same when you walk out.But the best part is Hayley.How could you not like someone named after Hayley Mills.Not only does she treat every garment with care and love, she treats all her customers the same.”
“A vintage clothing store that actually has vintage clothing! I mean spearpoints, swing ties, wide lapels and dainty caps, not late 1990s tshirts that are somehow considered vintage now.Stunning selection, and everything is labeled correctly. I spent almost a half hour just looking at all their ties, and another hour just going through the men's section.Decent prices as well, they know what they have, but it's not online vintage resellers levels of inflated.Highly recommend for someone trying to get true vintage pieces”
“I’m shocked I hadn’t been to a clothes mentor before now — great place !! Clothes are arranged well , staff is very friendly & helpful. I will definitely be going back.”
“I loved this shop! It was my first time and it seemed to be the only one of its kind open on Sunday. Each seller has their own style, yet they all compliment to make a very dynamic place to spend some of a day off. Mostly vintage but what is super special is some of the original art....seems like they score some interesting lots. They let me take pics of things I may want to come back for. Customer service was incredible and I actually had a very meaningful conversation with Chris, whi was running the show. Very knowledgeable. Ill be back for sure!”
“I can usually find what I’m looking for when I come here. You have to look a little harder for quality items, but they are there. Generally speaking things are kept nicely and I can find something. Lots of clothing and shoes. Agreed, employees could be a little more engaging with customers to help them find specific styles. A missed opportunity to have fun with styling and fashion!”
“Wow. This place has really stepped up. The staff are so so so helpful. Ive never experienced this in a large thrift store. Pricing is fair. Place is pretty organized.”
“The one thing I like about the Goodwill especially this Goodwill is it's got a nice big movie collection of new and used mostly used movies but it's got a very very big selection of titles cuz I'm a big fan of physical media”
“Some of the items are a bit expensive but they do have a big selection of items and the store is clean and organized. I found this little guy there today paid $15 which i found to be on the higher price but still took it lol.”
“One of the best Plato's closets I've shopped at. My favorite name brands were cheaper compared to other stores. The clothes were well organized, store was clean and employees were friendly.”
“I use foodshelf every 4-5 wks & luv their great selection of tons of foods, incl various household items I always need... I'm grateful & appreciative of this wonderful place!! Their thrift store is cute too!!”
