Not a great thrift store but it could be worse I suppose. Read on to see why I can only give this place two stars. Cons: Over priced mall brands consume most of the shelf space and the other portion is dated acrylic tunics and amazon non-brand junk. Pricers need to wake up to true worth of the majority of their stock. It's literally a shoes museum with over priced, out of date shoes. I began stopping about two years ago and "visit" the same pair of pink and black ballet flats in their designer shoe graveyard. Simply out of touch pricing on shoes both in their "designer shoe" area and in the regular shoe section. Just way overpriced shoes! Unreal. Highest end clothing items and purses are jumbled behind the counter and impossible to see. Wow. Display them properly and maybe they would sell and not sit. Again these items are also overpriced with a old Pierre Cardin raincoat priced at $199. Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Do the pricers there even know what is in style???? Staff is hot and cold depending on your age and presentation on any given day. Not nice for the most part. Pros: They have half off tags by color every week but it does get picked over quickly....of course that discount excludes the shoe graveyard and anything they consider designer. LOL. Parking is abundant. I guess that is the biggest plus. Home goods are better than the clothing if that is your thing. Over all 2 out of 5 in my opinion. If you're really bored and in the area, consider it but certainly don't make a special trip there for great...
Read moreThis thrift store supports Hospice of Palm Beach County. Proceeds go to Trustbridge, a non profit that was formed in 2008. It offers different therapy programs and end of life care. They help a patient cover what Medicaid and insurance won't. They also have a resale shop in West Palm Beach and one in Boca Raton which I visited and also liked.
I was surprised at how large this store was. There were three rooms filled with furniture, art, lamps, collectibles, clothing, books, movies, small appliances, and accessories. I even saw Tiffany jewelry complete with that iconic blue bag. Everything was in very nice condition and I felt that prices were reasonable. I believe I heard a lady say they offer an additional senior discount on Fridays. If you have a favorite thrift store it really pays to ask about additional discount days because many stores have them.
The thrift stores operated by Hospice are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 to 5. They accept donations up until 3 on those days. There was so much to look at here. I ended up getting a couple of inexpensive puzzles for my camp kids. Hopefully the pieces are all there. We are going for old school fun this summer. I honestly don't understand the low stars for this shop. It is definitely worth a visit and I think you will be...
Read moreI have made this request to one reseller after another. For some reason, few of them ever yield. PLEASE STOP using Avery FILE LABELS on the front of fragile, aged, ornate, hand painted, gilded textiles of ANY kind! The purpose and high quality of these labels and stickers are intended for file rooms in law firms and other businesses that require years long storage of files that are constantly pulled for viewing and replaced accordingly. Repetitively over the course of innumerable months or years. That’s a lot of fingertips doing the walking. They are built to hold up to the punishment i.e. they were formulated to STICK!
You don’t put stickers like this on items like these. We buy them at deep discounts, sure. But, does that have to be any reason to defile the finer things? It’s not rocket science. You don’t put stickers on Made In Japan bone China that’s painted and enameled in such a way. Try looking for “removable” labels, that stick as needed, but lift off without damaging the item to which it’s applied. And by all means - put the price tag on the back! This goes for picture...
