The staff are nice and the prices are decent. There so many thrift shops that are way too overpriced they are reasonable. :) always my go to thrift shop for sure

I love thrifting, and I really like this thrift store, but it is not ADA compliant. This is not only unfair and makes it incredibly difficult to shop in the store if you are using mobility devices but also is illegal. There is not enough space between the racks to get through. Hopefully, this gets fixed asap.

Rude unhelpful service. Employee refused to sell me a cap because it wasn’t priced. Store manager refused to price the cap. Told me to come back the next day. Explained to them that I’m a tourist and offered to buy the cap at the same price as the other cap I was buying. Nope, come back the next day, as if I don’t have other things to do on my trip. Inflexible attitude lost them a sale.
