My wife happened to stumble onto some posts about this new business through social media. We decided to visit to show some support and see what they were all about.
This business shares the same space as Global Clothing Industries, so be on the lookout for a GCI sign to know if you are in the right place. The entrance will be on the right side of the warehouse.
Since their google profile is still being set up, the business hours as of the time of writing are as follows: M-F: 0900-1700 Sat: 1000-1800 Sun: 1200-1800
The pricing system (from what I have gathered, I may be incorrect) is that the plastic tag string dictates the price - and the sticker color on the tag correlates with associated sale (i.e. green tags today are 30% off). Once i get clarification, I can edit as needed.
There was already a pretty good amount of merch on the floor even though they were only using 50% of the warehouse space at the time. I'm sure with time, they'll utilize all that real estate for more merchandise.
The prices here are competitive, sometimes even better, than other thrift shops. If you find yourself in the area, at least check it out! If you need any assistance, Sahj definitely has you covered! (I never got to confirm name spelling, so apologies if i...

The ambiance is really cool and so are the employees! Good music on the PA. It’s pretty standard thrift store fare, not too different from Goodwill.

This is not like a Goodwill with standard prices. The tags and tag strings are color coded, ranging from $2-15. The strings are the price and the color of the tag tells you if the item is on sale or not. Some items are priced independently, usually the interesting stuff. They definitely look out for desirable pieces and price them accordingly. There were some good cookware items, but they do not sell furniture.
Give it a shot if you’re within 30 minutes, otherwise I think you’re just as well off with your...
Read moreMy experience in thrift stores is quite extensive , That said . My opinion is my own . It seems to me that the store was in an obscure location . It was very dank and dreary . There was plenty of clothes , but very little miscellaneous items . Which is what I shop for . Their pricing guidelines were also hard to grasp , more complicated than it needed to be . Other than that , this store reminded me of the old Salvation Army’s store from the 60’s. . The only saving grace are the people who work there . So kind , and pleasant . Going out of their way to smile . Also very helpful . I will go back given the opportunity . I’m a thrifter . Junk is in my blood . Thank you for the...
