“This feels like one of the few thrift stores left that actually understands that it's a thrift shop, not a boutique. Excellent prices that are set to make items move off the floor, constant deals, very appealing color tag sales...very rarely do I pull an item off of a shelf and think to myself "jeez, that's what they're charging?", which seems to happen with every other item at Goodwill. I think this place has some of the nicest staff I've ever encountered in a thrift store too. I always end up having really lovely conversations with the cashiers about my purchases when they ring me up, which I enjoy. And on the off chance that an item isn't tagged, they're willing to offer a price on the spot (don't use that information to pull off tags - A, it's a charity organization, so don't be a jerk, and B, if you have too many untagged items, they'll absolutely know you're up to something. I've seen it happen!). I understand why Goodwill doesn't do that because they have a very specific tagging system tied to their pricing team, but it is very nice to not have to put an item back because a tag happened to fall off somewhere.
I think my favorite deal here is their flat rate pricing on stuffed animals - $0.99 for pretty much any stuffed animal, with the exception of very large or complex ones (which end up being, like, $3 anyway). Not only is this a wonderful deal for me as an adult toy collector, but I often see very ecstatic children bounding out of the store with at least one given the low price; either it's something they can afford or their parents feel comfortable spending the money on. And I feel like that's what thrifting is all about at the end of the day.”
“This place is special. The atmosphere is very fun and energetic! Connie has great music playing, the clothes are unique and in great condition. I found some incredible pieces that I'm super excited about. Anyone who loves thrifting would be just as obsessed with this place as I am. Can't wait to go back!!!”
“Great selection of odds and ends, tile, paint, lighting and electrical, sinks, wall paper, plumbing odd bits, drawer pulls, nice old wood furniture. Definitely worth a peep!”

“Came home to Rochester for a visit. Walmart has no checkouts so I stopped in at salvation army, got what I wanted for a fraction of Walmart cost and got checked out immediately. Too bad NY has outlawed plastic bags though”
“First timer at the Clearance Center. Arrived on a Sunday at 10am. The cashier was very kind & helpful in explaining the process. Spent about 2.5 hrs here. The rotation of bins was great. Mad rush to discover new pieces of clothing with each rotation. If you are patient & willing to dig, you won't be disappointed. I found great labels and everything was in great condition. Staff were all kind and willing to help out. Some buyers were rude, but to be expected in today's society. Worth a visit. Happy Hunting!”
“Great thrifting here. Wide selection of women’s clothing in very nice shape and some items are still new with tags. On Sundays look for the special tag color of the day and that item is $1, yes, only $1. I have gotten amazing deals with the special tag color of the day including dresses, skirts, workout clothing. Staff here are quite nice and do their best to keep the racks neat and organized. Shoppers are friendly too.”
“I’ve had a great experience selling clothes to this location. Both times I brought in a bag with 30+ items (clothes, shoes, jewelry) Both times it was an hour wait for them to look at what you have. They wanted 15+ items both times and offered $60ish. The whole process was easy and everyone was friendly and helpful explaining their process. My daughter was happy to get rid of some unwanted clothes and make a little cash. There are also 2 thrift stores across the street where you can donate whatever they don’t take.”
“Fair prices and had a little bit of everything. Was there over an hour and didn't get to look at everything. Bought candleholder, figurine, sewing supplies, and antlers.”
