I do not recommend this store. Multiple items had unrepairable damage that was hidden by the tags. One had bleach spots that were behind the tag. They attach tags with STAPLES. So you have to dig out the staples with your fingers and everything you purchase now has holes from the staples. Way too overpriced also! Plenty of other thrift stores in the area that go to other good causes. I won't make the mistake of shopping here again.

PLEASE END THE STAPLING OF TAGS. WOULD SPEND SO MUCH MORE MONEY HERE BUT YOU ARE KILLING THE QUALITY OF THESE NICE BRANDS... SEE PICS. L.L. Bean now with hole in the sleeve.. one wash and it'll spread. Revisited this store and reduced the ratings to 1 star. Someone is DOUBLE STAPLING THE TAGS TO THE CLOTHES. I spent $144 in one visit. Some of my items were $4.99 each. I get home and realize half of the items are ruined from staples. Not only that, but that kind of lazy, incompetence is gonna destroy someone's washing machine if they miss a few. I love this store but took me OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF TO UNDO THE STAPLES! 3 large bags of items... all stapled! 2 in each item. Some items were even zip tied. Please fix this immediately. If all sales are final, and this is how clothes are going to be tagged, I will donate and purchase elsewhere. Never seen something so ridiculous in my life. Loft, Ann Taylor, Coldwater Creek items destroyed... I am in such shock that someone would think to do this. Have a little more integrity. This thrift shop has the best deals but they aren't the best of they all have holes in them. They have limited space for a lot of furniture but the pieces they do have are pretty nice. The clothes are a little disorganized but we were there at the end of the day. *Note that they do close at 5pm.* Contacted the store about the staples. No apology or concern. Said they do this because the tags would come off or people would try to switch prices. Offered to find them some tag guns. There must be another solution. They won't be changing their ways anytime soon. Until then, we are gonna visit elsewhere. Sadly.

This place has a good selection of clothing but they staple the price tag on the sleeves. I would think the price tag should be attached to the clothing tag as much as possible. It ruined the sleeve of the crewneck I bought.

I regularly donate here. The folks overall are nice.
They are doing good helping people and families.
Many are having a real hard time these days.
2024 is almost over this nightmare of Joey bribes coming to a close.

I’ve enjoyed shopping here for years, but lately the parking situation has become so frustrating. You can’t even pull into the lot to check for a spot without possible getting stuck bc of cars that park along the curb of the entrance. Half the spots have been made employee parking, which I fully understand, but most times I see that many of them are empty. It’s a pain to take the time to drive out here only to turn back around bc of parking.
Also please stop stapling tags on the clothes. It ruins them and are a hassle to take off. A clothes tag gun and supplies would be worth the investment or just make a general pricing for items.
