Dillard's Clearance Center — Attraction in Moline

When I go to thrift shops around the Quad Cities, I find used Merona (Target) brand shirts for $5.99, used sweaters for $9.99, ties for $4.99, khakis up to $7.99. These prices are ridiculous for donated used clothing. Thrift shops would more quickly sell and decrease the need to rotate through merchandise if they sold clothing and donated goods at a better value. They would make more money and drastically reduce the cost of waste if they priced items more realistically.

This brings me to my third visit to the Dillard's Clearance store in Moline. I have never been inside of a regular Dillard's, so I don't know the whole concept behind the brand, but they are "SPOT ON" with their clearance concept.

The previous visit I made to this store I bought 20 shirts and did not exceed $80.00. These are brand new, name brand shirts.

The visit I made yesterday was during a particularly big clean out event, and for myself and my son, I purchased 11 brand new name brand shirts and 2 sweaters, and my bill was $52.00.

This place begins with ridiculously good prices, and then has % off sales on various categories every week. You have to scroll down on the website to see what is on sale.

I think all of the managers of local thrift shops should pay a visit to this place, and then decide if they are really providing a value to their customers or are really making the kind of money they should be for the organizations they support.

Finally, the place is immaculately clean, has as large of a men's area as I've ever seen, twice that area for women, as per usual, every employee is delightful and happy to help, everything is neatly separated by style, size and color, and again the prices are GREAT and made even better by their...

We're lucky to have one so close as they're few and far between. I accidentally found this place years ago then thankfully rediscovered it again! I live over an hour away so I don't go as often as I'd like to. I try to spread the word about this place as most I talk to haven't been or ever heard of it! Yeah, it's hit or miss. And the quantity in departments changes. When I first went, there was lots more jewelry, linens, bedding, body care than now. Definitely check here first for dresses both casual and formal. You have to look for stains and damage on the formal dresses. Most aren't, but some are ripped or missing buttons. BUT there are so many to choose from! I had told someone about this place a couple of times and about how there's so much stuff. Just rack after rack after rack of women's clothing. (There's also kids' and men's but way less than women's) I ended up taking her once and after being there for a bit, she told me that she thought I was exaggerating a little but now she saw...

Will not be coming back ! I went there with my kids one night we were there for probably 3 hours as we were going back and forth trying stuff on the ladies working there did not look nice at all they had dirty looks on their faces and never once offered to help us in the 3 hours we were there ! As we were checking out I had a large amount I spent a few hundred dollars I had a few dresses for my daughter I asked to be put in a dress bag the girl rolled her eyes at me but did it once we got home I realized she only gave me half of my stuff !!! She forgot the other on a counter I called the manager the next day he said they would be there folded in a bag with my name on it ... that was not the case when I went to pick it up ! They were still in a pile not folded and she was so rude and started throwing my stuff in the bag ! Then some random guy behind her was like don't give it to her we don't know it's hers! He was rude and nasty too ! I'll never come back there ! Awful...
