Anchorage ReMADE — Local services in Alaska

Second time coming here, I really enjoy browsing their many unique items along with consignment items. Very fair pricing for a lot of things including furniture which I particularly like.

Sadly I’m taking a couple stars off due to an interaction with the lady that checked me out.. I found a very nice like-new Columbia brand cropped winter jacket for $18! Tried it on and felt very cute in it & luckily fit me well which seldom happens for thrifted clothing. Upon her removing the tag & hanger (they recycle those) she said “this looks too small for you. Is this for you or someone else?” Which is a wild thing to say to someone in retail as I also work in retail and cannot imagine saying that to a customer. I simply said “yes it’s for me” and continued to check out. It wasn’t until I got in the car that it started to really bother me. I felt inadvertently fat-shamed. Maybe have a chat with your employees to keep weird comments like that to yourself, especially if you don’t know what someone else is going through. But hey, still pleased I scored a nice jacket...

This business has got so much junk outside that is unsecured. During 100mph winds a piece of wood from the front of this business flew and shattered the back window of my car costing me 450 dollars to repair. When I went in to talk to an owner or manager of the store I was met by a woman who basically told me that sucks. “Things fly around in 120mph winds, I don’t know what to tell you. We talked this morning about maybe securing the items out front with bungee cord since I spent a good amount of time picking stuff up from all around the property.” Only securing items because you don’t want to have to pick them up, not for the safety aspect? That’s wild. A piece of wood flying fast enough to shatter a car window could have seriously injured someone. There are apartments on both sides of this business, people are coming and going at all hours. Not once did I receive any sort of apology for their negligence. I’m all for supporting small businesses but I would never support a business that doesn’t care about the impact they have on...

This was my first, of many to follow, visit to this store.

They are apparently a nonprofit retailer that supports the Anchorage community.

What brought me in today, is that they also sell GENERAL FINISHES products as an authorized dealer. This is the ONLY retailer in Anchorage.

It was suggested that I could place an order (coinciding with theirs) and receive my GF items, not already in stock, at discounted prices.

I will be back... often.

Except for the few product lines carried, most of the store has furniture & items for sale that appear to have been refinished by artists, and volunteers.

I do believe classes on refinishing may also be available at this store.

The owner / staff are all...
