“Jeph has a shining personality that makes the trip to this thrift so worthwhile; you can tell he puts a lot of love and effort into keeping shop. Everything is beautifully arranged and so cozy. They have amazing deals, and as far as selection, they carry a bit of everything. Hands down my favorite secondhand shop in town.”
“Great prices on clothes, well organized. I rwally like the tag color discount days of 25% & 50% off. The employees are always so kind too! Thank you for serving our veterans and the additional discounts for veterans as well!”
“This is a great place to shop. I've bought several things for my kids, my mom, and myself. The people are always so friendly and helpful. I love the store. Being a single mom of two kids the community chest is an absolute blessing and I appreciate all of them from the bottom of my heart. ??”
“This place is excellent! Clothes are very affordable, even saw some wedding dresses in perfect condition for $10! I got a romper, bodysuit, and shirt for only $3.28. Businesses like this one really do help and support the community with their pricing and the environment by promoting reusing clothing, home goods, baby/childrens' goods, and more. Thank you so much, Honey Rock! I can't wait to rock my new outfits. ❤️”
“Really authentic vintage clothing for not a heafty price. Not as much stuff inside as I thought they would. But also good, bc they aren't jammed packed to where you don't know where to start.”
“Absolutely love this store. Went on a sunday? I got 7 pairs of slacks,9 sweaters,jeans for my daughter dress for my daughter only $35.00.. I was gonna have to spend 175 at Goodwill or karma for the items we got. I will be in this place alot.. Going back for those boots I seen Atwell. Really friendly staff, like the greeting alone coming in the door..Hands down 10 outta 10. Next level thrifting. Thank you gals”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Great prices, very friendly staff and always new things to buy! Will not be going to any other thrift store but THIS ONE! Also they have some awesome sales going every time we go in!”
“I won a globe on the shop goodwill auction site and didnt realize i needed to set up an appt to pick it up. I explained to the gentleman in charge and he was so very nice about it. He retrieved the globe and i was on my way in less than 5 minutes. Exceptional customer service is rare these days and that is what i recieved from him. Thank you so much for your understanding sir, you are an asset to the goodwill for sure.”
“Super nice people working, all kinds of interesting stuff here! Proceeds help homeless! We will be back! I walked through several times to be sure I saw everything!”

“The staff is amazing there! The prices were great. I’m so happy with everything I bought:) I asked Gina for advice and she was super helpful and sweet. You can tell everyone there has a heart of gold. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had:)”
“Though a lot of changes have been made & prices have gone up (ALOT), I still enjoy coming here as everyone is always so friendly and they have a decent amount to browse!”
“Prices very per item, some things are a bit over priced, building needs a little up dating, not enough employees to serve you. Decent discounts, plenty to choose from. Plenty of parking, easy to locate from street. Cleanliness of place is a little dusty. But still very clean considering thift stores go. Doors need to be alittle adjusted, often too heavy to push opened. Employees are helpful and polite.”
“I had never heard of Karm stores before. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and prices of the items they had! What makes it even better is they do give to charity and actually better communities! Will definitely be going back!”
“I would certainly recommend the salvation army to anyone who is homeless and trying to improve your situation. There is a lengthy amount of paperwork to fill out at first. They have lots of rules you must obey. Random Alcohol and drug testing. Curfew hours. A low tolerance for disobedience to their rules.The facility itself is quite nice. Lunch and dinner are provide free and the food is good. Guests are required to do daily housekeeping chores. Upon acceptance, they will give you up to 60 days emergency shelter free if charge. After that there is possiblity if extended stay by paying rent(at counselors disgression). They will provide some help and support in getting treatment for addictions and finding work. You are expected to look for and find work and make progress toward becoming independent again. It's not a permanent residence institution, but more of a transitional resource for those who are trying to improve their lives.On the down side of things, the place is currently at capacity at the time of my writing this. They are under staffed and strained to handle the job load. Good luck trying to get anyone to answer the phone. The employees I've met are caring people tho who will try to help if play straight with them. I've been is several shelters this past year and this is by far the best of them all.”
“This thrift store is well organized & clean. Even shoes were neatly organized by size, men vs women vs kids. They have a lot of home decor, lots of clothing, & a small section of children's toys, child & adult books, videos & CDs. Donations can be dropped off behind the store.”
“They went through growing pains during their remodel. I have shopped here for years. Every month the store gets cleaner, brighter, and add better inventory. Plus their prices are reasonable, especially given other thrift stores in the area.
I hate to write this review because it’s more competition for me?. However, their current team of employees seems to be stabilized and I find something every time I go in the door (at least 3X a week)
Excellent job improving service, cleanliness, and quality!”
“Love thrifting when I'm out of town. KARM was great - furniture pricing is a bit high and misleading if you're not paying attention. Staff is great and super helpful.”
“For a place that relies on donations, they sure don’t make it easy to donate. What the heck. I guess they close at 5 PM on Sundays… And I pulled up right at 5 PM and tried to hand them 2 big bags of clothes, and some guy with glasses said they couldn’t take it because they were closed. Cringe. These were all really nice and gently used name brand things, but I will be donating to Karm now instead. Sorry, people are busy and they need to accept donations when they are readily available, rather than just on their own time frame. At the bare minimum, they should have a big metal donation box outside like many other places do”
“Let me start off by saying—-I love this store!!! I live in Kingston, but my son lives in Seymour so every time I come to see him I have to come in this KARM store. It is so clean and organized. I love it. Also the staff is so friendly, so open to me asking them questions. I met two new friends in there today Debbie and Craig. Another staff member thanked me for shopping there! You just don’t see that anywhere else. I cannot say enough about how great this store is!!!!!”
“I had not visited this store in years! It use to feel dark and dirty and was always a mess. Yesterday I was at the shopping center and decided to try again. I was so glad I did! The store was clean, welcoming, bright and nice to shop in. The store worker mentioned to me that they desperately need men's clothing. If you need to clean your closets, donate to these people.”
“I am moving out of state and I just wanted to say that I am thankful that these stores were here! Both to donate to and almost all of the things I have are from KARM!! Excellent staff in all of your stores too!! The guys who took my donated furniture said a prayer for good luck!!”
“Always find mega deals here! I think I've been hooked ever since I found a suit for $7 that fit me perfectly, was high-end and also got me a couple of jobs in a few head turns!”
“I visit this goodwill once a week at least. Everyone is friendly and willing to help me find what I need. This place has definitely improved over the last 10 months. It is keep very tidy and they are always trying to make it easier to shop!”
“My new place to shop .something new every day. Just keep checking you'll find something at a great price 50 per cent off a lot of days. Very friendly people who work there. Treat you like family”
“I walk here at least twice a month from my work, they have great prices...I buy a lot of books and CD's for my toddler classroom. The atmosphere is filled with peace and the staff are very friendly. Great prices and friendly staff.”
“Thanks Karm. My little girl was able to afford the big, beautiful baskets she needed for her Christmas gift idea this year! All of them together cost less than one basket, at any other store! Merry Christmas!”
“Friendly staff, well organized departments…the music industry as wholesome and spiritually nurturing, and the prayer journal was seriously special. Thank you for sharing truth with love boldly”
“I’ve worked here for about 3 years and love working hereThe people are very nice and easy to get along with i dont know what I would do without all you kind people”
“I went there just the other day, the volunteers were fantastic. I was so happy when I saw the prices. A thrift store that is for charity should use the money to help the charities, but also sell the clothes at prices families can afford. This store does it all. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
