I loved this thrift store! My friend and I stopped in here this past Sunday (November 1st, 2020) and i’m glad we did.

This place has all their clothes donated and still has the decency to mark them up $30-40 without glancing at anything for stains and tears—so many of the clothes have very noticeable stains, holes and ripped up lining in the coats and the prices stay the same. The store is very dirty and they often spray really strong febreze all over the clothes (while people are in the store) so i had to leave because i couldn’t breathe. really tacky. Also, everything is packed so so tightly because they are given so many items but it makes it impossible to...
