Wonderland Thrift Shop — Attraction in Stratham

Too long didn't read: Great selection, great people, great experience

Selection: -pretty robust for a local joint, other reviews have left some pretty good pictures and the layout hasn't changed since those have been posted. -plus size selection pretty good, not perfect but it's a thrift store what can you do so I'm not going to hold that against them more just informing anyone who might be plus-size reading this. -I got some fabric for sewing practice, they have a lot of sheets or fabric if that's your kind of style as well as yarn if you're into crocheting or knitting -when I came in there was a good selection of modern to vintage clothing but again thrift stores so it can change by the day. -if you're into flipping there's a lot of stuff that has potential if you're willing to put in some work as well as things that are ready to go from purchase -some local joints don't do a great job of taking care of the clothing, this place doesn't have that, nothing smells nothings stained, everything feels like they put effort into making it look good and given the current situation that's always good -the Knick knack section isn't robust but given the competition I don't expect it to be. currently filled with great Christmas stuff if that's what you're looking for, in general super pleased with it still. -the book selection is typical, lots of cookbooks if that's your thing, I always just like buying books at the thrift store cuz you never know what you're going to get. -DVD selection is the same, I just recently got a laptop that has a DVD drive so I finally have a way to play them again so I might swing in and get some, so I can't speak to the quality of the DVDs in the case.

Price -most everything in the store is $3 to $10. Now I have shopped at thrift stores my entire life and to be fair I have moved here only recently but those rates are still insanely good for the quality. If you want some fishing t-shirt for $3 you can get it, you can also get a beautiful casual dress, work pants, etc. The only things that are above $5 are usually the suits, coats, and NWT stuff. But even all of that is still super reasonably priced, and if you are a senior citizen you do get a discount day! Just follow their social medias to know specifics

Employees The employees are casual, and that's exactly what I love about small business. I like that I can just talk to retail employees without feeling the guilt that I'm dragging them into a conversation because they're being paid for it. They are also clearly interested in the company. Everyone I met was wearing something they got there. Honestly if they're ever hiring I would love to work there, that's the kind of inviting atmosphere they display. this kind of camaraderie is very pleasing and very nice to see in a thrift store, given the widespread misuse of thrift employees displayed by big...

I was in this store today with the women I support, her friend who also experiences an disability and his direct support professional. We been here many times over the past three years, today a manager asked his DSP to have him stop taking the books off the shelf and stay by his side when he’s in the store. He was straighting the books while looking at them in the process. I’m not sure if she thought he was rearranging them or taking them but she was very rude and got very defensive when his DSP tried to explain the situation and work it out. The store itself isn’t bad, while they are raising prices, I’m just saying the staff needs some education on how to speak to customers when an issue comes up. In this particular case the man was making the books easier to get to and she yelled at him, us just because he happened to have a disability. ( in my opinion). This place gets many people with special needs, I’m disappointed that she treated him,as a...

Went there looking for a belt. Been there before so I know where they keep them plus the store is fairly small so every visit is fairly quick.Walked up at 4:50pm (10min before they close) A worker was outside helping a person drop off things to donate. The worker said to me that they close soon, I said "Yes I know, 10 min. I'm here for 1 thing I'll be in and out." Then she said "Well it's more like 8min" (it was 10 but whatever) I said "It's not even going to take me 3 minutes to look I can actually see the section I need..." She said "This customer (refering to the people donating) is my last customer" Sitting in my car thinking of where else to go I see them still chit chatting outside...I would have gone in and left before they even finished talking. I won't be a bother to them anymore, I'll go to the other thrift...
