The free part of store is an aisle to right in side store. Clothing, curtains, jars, clothing, paint. Then there is 5 aisles of household appliances, fine condition textiles, radios, tv, exercise equipment, furniture. There are frequent 50% days, and some best offer. These are clean out houses goods. Well worth the trouble to take a look. Staff uber pleasant.

This place is great, good prices and good for the environment to reuse unwanted items! As an artist and crafter this has been a great resource for supplies

Dont let the free fool you. Only 1 row of free and its JUNK. And the rest is not cheap. Just as much as Goodwill and even abit higher.Would not recommend.

Havent been their yet but just the fact that someone was using the word liberal as a derogatory remark makes me wanna go there for sure and worth 5 stars on that remark alone. Keep up the good work.

Literally the best thrift store in any surrounding area price wise Ive found yet. Have been able to almost refurbish my apartment for completely free since my ex screwed me on our once split rent payments. Seriously wouldnt know what Id do without this store. Only down side is its only open 2 days a week for 6 hours a day. Definitely try to keep it on my calendar! Haha also very helpful with getting the desk I got into my car, even took the time to take it apart and explain how to put it back together for me.

Love the concept of the store, and the people I assume are the owners were nice. However, I felt uncomfortable after I heard the man behind the counter use ‘liberal’ as an insult several times. I was confused because it seems to be a faith-based business but he sounded really judgmental. I would suggest being more aware of your customers and the fact that the community is made up of many belief systems. I love to support local organizations that help the needy and would hope that the allocation of resources isn’t given based on said beliefs of the owner. We are all free to have our views and I fully support their right to their opinions, it’s just disheartening to hear disparaging comments like that in a business space.

Review №22

I often find an item our two when i go here. The first aisle is free stuff and i usually check there first. The rest of the store is a typical thrift store with some bargains and some overpriced stuff. Sometimes they will dicker on price. I have seen things there that i could buy new for a similar price but have also found unique items and major bargains.

Went here once and....1) The free section is just crap. Like, broken mc.donalds toys - stained, holey, smelly clothing - books that are missing 20% of the pages. A yard sale has better free stuff than this place. I was too afraid to even touch anything!2) The cheap stuff, isnt cheap....... No where near it. A Barbie car was there and I thought to myself as passing it, thats worth $5, max. Out of curiousity I look at the price.... $40?!?! What the heck?! I googled it and on EBay it popped up at $30 in BRAND NEW condition. This car was dusty, damaged, and probably shouldve been in the free section.Overall, this place makes my skin crawl. Its over priced. And the free section is just nasty, you wouldnt want to take ANY of it home - trust me. Employees are fine though. They dont bug you, and they say hello when you walk in so thats a plus........I guess. Im sure it wont be long till theyre out of business!

I called these people to pick up an old dryer I had in my basement and they forced it out the door and broke my door frame. When I asked SCOTT TOUPIN to repair it he was very rude and said This wasnt even worth the trip then drove away. I called him and told him I would split the cost of repair with him (the CHRISTian thing to do) but he refused and said he would bring a piece to fix the door. He brought something the completely wrong color and left it in my front yard. Now he will not return any of my phone calls. SCOTT TOUPIN should be ashamed of himself for using the word CHRISTIAN as marketing ploy to gain the trust of the public because he definitely does not behave like a Christian! I am sure he scrapped my dryer and got some money that he could have given to me to fix the damage. THANKS A LOT OFFICE SCRAPPERS!
