As others have said - pricing has become absurd in the last year or so. I used to be able to go in and find a few reasonably priced items, but the handful of times I have gone in this last year, I have left with nothing. One time I went in to look at jean jackets and found two nearly identical ones that I liked. Both on the same rack, but one missing a price tag. I brought both to the clerk and explained the above, and asked about price. They told me they couldn’t sell it to me because it wasn’t priced, and that it was likely more expensive than the other one I had because it was “designer”. The one that wasn’t priced was GAP brand (not designer). I ended up paying $25 for the other one instead of pushing back because it was so dumb. Honestly they should reconsider calling themselves a thrift store. I support their cause, but pricing is out of control.

Small but well organized store. They sell some high end stuff which I thought were reasonable priced. Shoes were a little high though. Majority of what they sell are clothes but some household items. I wish their shoe section was bigger and wish there was more selection for plus. Dressing rooms are nice and clean. Didn't care for parking though bc when you back out it's onto a busy street. Overall a nice store and staff are friendly!

This is a small but well-organized thrift store, making it easy to browse through the racks without feeling overwhelmed. The main focus here is clothing, and there’s a solid selection of decent items if you're willing to take your time looking. A nice bonus: they have changing rooms, so you have a chance to try things on before you take them home.

Totally great cause and I will never take away from that but why is jewelry priced so high at this thrift store. I've been looking up the prices of the items up for sale at Pennies, online or happening to find them at other stores and Pennies is pricing items higher than etsy, ebay, poshmark and local consignment shops and boutiques. Why is that? It hasnt always been this way there but in the past few years its gotten bad. These items were donated and I thought the goal of thrift stores was to save locals and visitors much needed funds. Not everyone thay comes in has gobs of excess income to burn. So once again I support the cause but I don't like feeling gouged.

I used to be a frequent shopper (filled up a few of the stamp cards) but I’ve stopped shopping due to pricing. What prompted this review was an Instagram post in which a “vintage” dress was priced at $250. I’m not sure who doesn’t understand this, but the people who shop at thrift stores aren’t generally in that tax bracket… I think what they do is important, the store is usually very clean, and the staff is nice.
