Don't waste your time! You WON'T find anything Here!
The store has certain regular customers shop in the donation/pricing area rather than the sales floor. These are usually book (and sometimes electronics/game) resellers. They come on weekday mornings and don't have regular day jobs. They are preferred customers that work deals with the corrupt managers/employees. I know upper management and the owners only care about profits, but it's gotta so out of hand. Every time anything decent comes along, its part of a full cart belonging to one of those customers.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
Either announce/have signs that say customers can shop in the donation/production area in the back or NO ONE is allowed back there. PERIOD.

There used to be an issue with people stealing from donations carts (since they're at the front on the store), but employees put the carts back faster. Also, prices have gone up recently, but thats true for all thrift (and retail) stores.

3.7 stars overall…yet 5 stars for customer service and the chair purchase. I had to dock off a star due to some difficulties and the prices. I found the perfect item - an old antique rocking chair with wear and tear. It had a big crack and minor repair issues so they reduced the price to $22. We were able to fix the cracks and noticed several repairs on the chair. I thought the price was fair, since we had to do repair work on it.

The prices on items at this thrift shop were high to me, yet I did enjoy walking through the store. I didn't find anything useful to buy. Customer service was very good, and the sales clerk lowered the price of the chair after my husband pointed out flaws. I liked their display of jewelry. Parking can get difficult. A car parked too close to use - making it impossible for my husband to open his car door to get inside. He is average height and size. We almost got hit by a car trying to get out of the parking lot. Despite the problems It is worth a go see.

Very good for clothes, both men’s and women’s, just OK for furniture and home goods, lousy book selection. Pricing a bit erratic, some items very reasonable, others too high. Worth regular visits.

For years it was my favorite store, but since they have new management nothing is the same, always people steals the donation from out side front of the manager and employes, the best items are bought by selected customers who can go to the production area, and also by the employees who daily carry their shopping carts full. Do something about it.

Great location with it's own parking lot adjacent to Walmart Superstore. They now have dressing rooms which improve shopping options. Items are color coordinated and sizes are now sectioned. There are more designer options, furniture, shoes, men's clothing and misc. Prices are not bad, with a little searching there are bargains.
