Woodstock Vibes Thrift Store — Local services in Hardyston Township

Downer of an experience. I've passed this place so many times, with no time to stop in. Today I put it on my calendar to stop, no matter what. Place looks so cool from outside. I was expecting an "experience". I thought I'd walk in and be greeted by someone dressed in sixties attire, with sixties music playing in the background, Beatles posters plastered to the wall. I was SO looking forward to it! But I walked in and tried to make eye contact with the salesperson, but she wouldn't even look up. I thought she'd say hello and make me feel welcome. NOT! No sixties music playing, was new music that most people from the sixties don't want to listen to. Millennial music, blah. I needed something flowery, found it, but had to get to an appointment so I asked the salesperson to hold my stuff for about 3 hours til I circle back. I wanted to spend more time looking around the store. She said she would hold it. I also asked her if I could try stuff on and she said no. I said, "Oh no. What if it doesn't fit?" So she said "So don't buy it". Very rude. Nonetheless, I went back within 3.25 hours (I had told her approximately 3 hrs). I walked in and again no greeting. She just said "I put it back". If I were the salesperson I would have said "I'm sorrry. Let me go get it for you and I'll ring it up." This place could be so nice but instead I sure don't want to go back. What a shame. I left without the stuff I wanted. UPDATE - I went back to Woodstock vibes today January 29th of 2024 because I will be holding a '60s dance this year and was really hoping they had changed so I can send people there to get some nice '60s wear. Sure enough, they did change and for the better. First of all the sales girl was so nice and helpful and cheery. They also were playing '60s music, and had posters and symbols like peace symbols and whatnot hung up on the walls, and they had opened the back area for vintage clothes. So basically all the things I had been hoping to see when I first went there, they have now implemented. Bravo to the owners or managers! I will tell all the people who buy dance tickets to my '60s event about this place now. Sometimes management listens. The place is...

I have a huge issue with thrift stores that 1) price designer items different when I have to dig for them and 2) do not have accessible prices. This store is geared towards higher income customers and at this point its pricing is closer to a consignment shop.

In addition, now there are THREE different areas where they price items higher. They already had the back area for vintage and free people/Anthropologie. They have since added a boutique in the front and a “boutique clearance” where nothing was under 20$. I will give it an additional star because they have a decent selection. Its not a bad experience just be aware the pricing is basically full...

Although you can occasionally find something great here, it's become mostly a waste of time to find anything decent. I get that they probably want customers to visit as often as possible, but just put up a sign stating your restock day(s). It's obvious that the place must get new stuff and then it's instantly wiped out. There is absolutely no logic to the pricing of items either. Designer brands cost about the same as ones you'd find at a dollar store in a lot of cases. The employees really need to pay more attention to sorting the racks. Lots of children's clothes mixed in with adults and women's mixed with men's, and sizes are...
