Many Hands Thrift Market Grimes — Attraction in Grimes

Why buy new when you can buy used and dirty for more?! This place is incredibly out of touch with pricing…and cleanliness. For example, Betty Crocker brand food storage containers (commonly found at Dollar Tree) are being sold USED for more than face value WITH visible food residue in them. Furniture is priced higher than what you would find in a boutique/antique store. Staff are not friendly in the slightest. Clerk had to manually type my debit card number in (super sketchy), because their credit card readers don’t work. For a place with a HUGE profit margin considering they primarily sell donated goods, they can certainly afford to get functional POS hardware and can afford to train their staff to properly screen donations. For an organization that prides itself on “…high quality, low priced second-hand goods for the whole family! The stores carry gently used, second-hand goods, such as clothing, furniture, and home décor.”, they sure do charge exorbitantly high prices on items they receive for FREE from their donors. They are so far astray from their own mission and values. If you want to go thrifting, check out the local Goodwill stores, Animal Lifeline Thrift Store, and the monthly flea market at the state fairgrounds. You’ll certainly find better items at far better prices, being sold by kind people who practice what they preach. These folks at Many Hands either don’t know what their mission and values are, or they just don’t care to...

Its different with lots of space between items and a stronger focus on female shoppers with 2 lines of clothes for men and maybe 4x that for women. Ultimately, a guy can feel really out of place in there.

Shirts are $5 and some change and pants around $7. Prices are higher than goodwill but the quality is better.

You can find lots of nice button up shirts and pants with some expensive brands mixed in. The downside was there are only 2 changing rooms and the wait was incredibly long.

Had a modest selection of electronics, nice lamps, furniture, children's books, and a whole lot of blankets.

The music was distracting with the constant ad asking to upgrade to a premium streaming plan.

I'm sure some people love this store but I'm definitely not the...

Many resell store are a mix bag weather it be the building they are in, the cleanliness of the inside or the merchandise they have and how its displayed.

This was a pleasant surprise! Much cleaner and better quality merchandise here. Mgmt has taken the time to have many non clothing items in nicer displays and does have so much stuff on the stands that its overcrowded.

Most resell store when you first walk in have a distinct smell to them but not here.

Unlike many so called resell stores where they are owned by an individuals who make their living off of this. Many Hands actually has a define and clear message to help those in need. Pictures around the store and the employees I've met explain their vision and mission of...
