“Found this place while walking for an apartment viewing in the area and it's so clean, they have so many nice items. My son was so excited for a toy that they had their and we're still looking for a new apartment but we know we will come back to find furnishing and stuff here. Will be recommending this place to friends ??”
“My favorite thrift store. Been coming here since a lil girl. I truly miss Ms. Bert. The females they have there now are so unpleasant. Especially the lady with blonde hair and glasses, she's nasty”

It’s a really great thrift store with hidden gems. The conditions for both items are absolutely amazing. I can’t be any happier with my purchase today. Highly highly recommend!”

“Great selection of quality pieces, and all sale proceeds go to support the MontCo women's shelter! I've been shopping here regularly for the last 2 or 3 years and always find something worth the visit from clothes to shoes to jewelry. They carry mens and kids clothing too.
There are BOGO style sales every monday, and other sales going on throughout a given month--you can check their instagram to see what the current deals are.
When you try clothes on, they take the time to steam clean anything you put back. How many clothes stores, much less thrift stores, make that kind of effort? Love it!
I like to grab a drink at White Horse Coffee next door and spin through whenever I'm in the area! If you're in the market for a new go-to thrift store, this place is grade A!”
“Great store and staff. Always a positive trip !! Books are reasonably priced and clothing as well.
We often find a treasure in the Home decor and kitchen area.
Large room w furniture and wall decor.”
“I always love coming back to this thrift store. As a lifetime resident of Willow Grove, the town was sorely missing a thrift store, and this one definitely fits the bill! I’ve found some beautiful vintage pieces for CHEAP, and this store is the only one in the area I’ve been able to consistently find plus size vintage. The ladies who work here are always lovely to talk to as well. Will always revisit!!”
“High quality thrift store. Small but certainly worth the visit. Prices a little higher but the quality of the merchandise is much higher than a normal thrift store. So happy that they're so selective.”

“I have been visiting this store for over 25 years. Plenty of clothing, brick a brac, small electronics and housewares. Occasionally a nice piece of furniture.I just bought a beautiful set of hand painted wine glasses and carafe for about $10. Love ❤ this place.”
“I go once, then I find my self going back because they put out murchandise every day, but spending hundreds of dollars in there can become menatnous. I am going to try to cut down on my visits there, but I highly recommend it to people who don't mind spending the money for good things.”

“Amazing prices! Great pieces like coats, dresses, and pants. Found some of my favorite items here. Owners are so sweet. Cash only but they have an ATM in store. I love this place so much I used to go once a week!!”
“Absolutely love this store. The staff works really hard and most if not all are friendly. As for the prices, the best I've seen so far. I've gotten so much from here. Here's a few books, clothes and a painting I've gotten from here recently.Also a few questions I can answer* Donations stop at 6pm* On Wednesdays almost all the clothes are half off. (They go by colors)(different colors for different days. This changes often.)* I go everyday and everyday I see new things* Bring your own bags. (They have bags but a small selection)* I have been told by staff that this location will be closing at the end of Jan 2024 to get renovated.* MY average price for my clothes is like $2.50”
“I have been a customer since they started on Countyline rd.The owner is a hard working mother and wife trying to help others get rid of their stuff and perhaps make a few bucks in the process. They treat me with respect and pay me when my account reaches the agreed amount. Occasionally I drop in and find incredible deals too, this place is a treasure trove of stuff if you hit it right.Thanks for all you do for our community!”
“really awsome place for treasures the employees are great and the owners are lovely this place is a must go to place give it a shot who knows you might find something you like and the prices are incredible”
“I absolutely love this place. It’s so amazing. Every single time I make a trip to this specific thrift store, I look forward for it. They have great prices and a lot of variety. So many things, whatever you’re looking for it’s here. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. Also I love that they play Christian music. It’s definitely a pleasure to shop here. I hope it will never change.”
“Amazing selection of products. Was able to find paint here to help restore my parent-in-laws home for a fraction on the cost. Brittnay was super helpful with the questions that me and my partner had (and her hair was BEAUTIFUL!) shout out to her!”
“I had such a great experience here.
The staff are some of the sweetest people, very inviting and very quick to help. Prices are varied, but they do have tag sales! Selection was good and they're constantly putting out new items.
I would absolutely return.”
“We were in town visiting family for the Thanksgiving weekend and were looking to do a little local shopping and found this place on yelp. Lovely little thrift store! Well organized and so fun to browse around. Were thrilled to find a stash of vinyl to peruse as our son has recently purchased a turntable - picked out an eclectic mix to wrap up and put under the tree at Christmas. Shared this find with our animal loving family that live in the area.”
“I visited the store for the first time. The store is nice and clean full of merchandise. Not much furniture though, the staff are very friendly.
Some of the items are priced reasonably. Also, I like the fact that Certain day of the week you get fifty percent of a Certain color tag. However, what? I didn't like that All Sales Are Final. But I will go back again .”
“Terrific, packed, well located thrift store with friendly staff, easy drop off- and it not only employs many people, but contributes its revenue to all sorts of community needs. Such a win win win!”
“They have a lot of clothes here and some good deals at times, but it's like shopping at Ross, long as you shop by the colors your fine, there is other thrifts I been to where the max was 8$ for clothes SETS....”
“I found two open bags of tea lights both bags were open and marked purple or yellow. One bag contained three tea candles with 4 tea candles inside. Others were opened and clearly were scattered somewhere else. The other bag had tea candles about 8 or 10. I took the 4 tea candles and put them in the opened bag. I knew the little bag was tampered with and I put the 4 tea lights with the other tea candles. I didn't think anything about it. When I went to pay for all my merchandise and was called out by the manager for stealing. The manager humiliated me in front of all the customers and banned me from ever shopping at the facility for a $1 item he claimed I stole. I was very humiliated and feel I was made a fool of. I apologized. If I can't afford something I don't buy it. The man was outrageous and at least should allowed me to pay $1 for the 4 tea candles.Shame on you Mr. Manager. I have worked 34 years raising money and goods for homeless women and their children and was never so treated unrespectfully.”
“I've been going here for almost 7 years now. The staff here is perfect. I buy and sell items here. Angie ,Angel and Nicole. Give the best service and treat me like family. I highly recommend”
“There are many varied and well organized wares. It mostly carries women's clothes, but also has a good selection of men's clothing. The children's clothing is smaller in comparison, but has some really good buys here, too. The back section is where you can find general wares, including pillows, toys, kitchen wares, art, frames, and books, among other items. The prices are similar to other thrift shops and each week features a color tag that from Wednesday to Monday are half price and on Tuesday are all $2.00 unless half price is a better deal. The staff also are friendly and helpful.”
“Updating my review!!! I feel like corporate may have listened to the comments and other lifetime 2nd Ave shoppers that were upset about the changes and the pricing being way too high. They still have some work to do with it.... However I was happy to see them add in some random, and out of the norm, sale days recently. The 25% off Tuesday. And I loved getting the new emailed coupons. You can tell they made some changes and they are for the better. They also have gotten a lot better as far as quality and condition. Much better! Finally hats off to the Philly Managers - the store looked spotless, they are all always super nice, helpful, and they remember me and greet me right away every time I’m there even after not being there for awhile. Happy to be able to change my review.”
“This store has a wonderful selection of merchandise, fall, Christmas decorations to furniture and everything you would need to make your house a beautiful home. Staff is friendly and helpful and they have a section for silent auctions too.”
