Store is CLOSED permanently per the staff at Catholic Charities Food Bank next door. Clothing is now only given to those in need who have clothing vouchers from Catholic Charities.

I got this well-maintained sidetable for only $5! It's exactly what we needed. The staff members were attentive, efficient, and friendly. Thank you!!

The Spanish Lady at the register is very rude and disrespectful, specially to people that came over with a voucher from catholic charities. She should not be working there at all. The Rest of the staff were great, and friendly.

The staff was very kind, but I truly believe the items are very overpriced. I have been donating to the thrift shop for years now and just today walked inside to see the pricing. The prices are much higher than good will and don’t seem to be accessible. I was disappointed.

This is one of my favorite thrift stores in the entire DMV area but the last 3 times I’ve stopped by they were closed or closing several hours early. I wouldn’t mind so much if I could call and confirm but it’s hard to reach the volunteers or staff. They really should consider an intern or a younger volunteer who could post things like this on social media.
It’s frustrating that it’s happened so many consecutive times, I drove 35 minutes here today, arrived at 2:06, only to find out they closed at 2pm instead of 4. I tried calling before I got on the road but couldn’t get through to anyone.
Despite their few faults it’s still one of the best thrift stores in the area. Their prices are fair, the staff and volunteers are very kind, and they receive wonderful donations.

Like any thrift, hit or miss - but sometimes you luck out with a recent donor in your size: On one epic day I got Dansko boots, Pendleton and St. John’s blazers, and a like new cashmere blend coat. It is mostly clothes but I’ve gotten some cute home decor before. If it’s open when I walk by, I’m in there! Very nice staff and a good place to donate as well, it’s a solid local charity.

What a cute store! it is on the small size but you can definitely score some cool pieces at affordable prices. I went during small business Saturday and everything in the store was 50% off. I was able to find a cute dress, handbag, a tote bag, and a cartoon you character all for under $23. All of the pieces in the store are nicely organized and look almost brand new. If your in the area stop by this cute store they also sell children's items and some womens clothing upstairs. You can tell this was a house that was converted into a store. It has charm, personality, and wonderful employees who are friendly and attentive. I'll be back.
