I shop here all the time. Tons of selection, everything is fairly priced. I have found some amazing items here over the years. I prefer to sell here because I can't stand the hassle of selling things on marketplace. Anything they don't accept I can quickly donate down the street at Talize or Value Village. Easy peasy!

Only the problem here was the one worker that was unfriendly. 20-30th lady orange-ish straight hair down with glass. So disappointing because everyone else were wonderful except her. Unfortunately that removes 2 stars from 5 stars.

Had an amazing experience at this location, staff is extremely friendly. Store was well organized and I was able to find everything for my kids at a fraction of the cost of paying retail. I highly recommend this location if you want to keep a few bucks in your pocket.
