Second Glance — Local services in Gloucester

Fantastic Thrift Store! They change up the displays on an almost daily basis. Always something new to see.

Some prices are creeping up, but overall there are many bargains.

Best and most fun thrift store I have ever been in. The music they play is great, the clientele interesting, and the staff is mostly helpful.

Very well organized. Also, u can donate and shop in the same trip. The donation hours are the same as the shopping hours. And, the hours are long in the summer. Up until 7 o'clock at night.

You can visit it after work.

Nothing like it anywhere.

The store is staffed by friendly and helpful people. The selection and inventory varies as one would expect. The donation center is staffed by some of the rudest people I've ever met. I've rarely had them not accept my donations but I've gotten an earful of their dismissive attitude when other donors have come by. As soon as you get out of your car, the greeting is, "Do you have an appointment? What is your name? We don't take everything." The atmosphere is unwelcoming and stressful even if they do take your donations. Today was my final donation. I can't support an organization that treats people with so...
