St Paul's Thrift Shop — Local services in Newport

Highly inflated prices making this not an actual thrift store. Cashier was outside smoking right in front of door so we had to walk through a cloud of smoke which came into the store with us and made my wife gag. When cashier came back in it was obvious she was very sick with a very bad cough. We left without buying what we wanted to buy because my wife was afraid we'd catch what she had plus the stench of cigarette smoke. Good points- very clean, organized and decent selection although we didn't see everything because of obviously sick cashier. If you're sick stay home and if you have to smoke don't do it in front of the entrance. We'll try again in a few months (we're on the EC thrift store circuit) and hope things have improved as this store has potential.Other staff members were friendly, helpful and courteous. We were told the cashier was the manager when we tried to complain. Not sure how true this is as few managers are cashiers. Bad experience all around but hope this changes when...

I work in the area with low income clients and was recently in looking for new furniture for a client who was relocating. The place is very clean and well organized, and the staff are super friendly. Not only did I find all the furniture we needed for the client, but they were also able to schedule quick and convenient delivery for the client. The experience was so good, I even went back and found a dresser for myself, and the manager even helped me load it into my truck! I highly recommend St. Paul's to anyone looking for good, yet...

I was new to Newport a year ago and have come in from time to time to see what was available in clothing, etc. Everyone there made me feel very welcomed and helped out in every way possible. They work hard to bring in funds for the places it needs to go. One never feels rushed or out of place. Thanks for all you do and continue your work in Christ to better your community...
