Thrift Mart — Local services in Ocoee

If you’re an avid thrift lover/shopper like myself then you clearly won’t mind a casual stroll through a thrift store as a way to disassociate (lol). I had hopes for Thrift Mart However.. Thrift mart should instead be called a Flea market, the reviews indicating “mid century modern” finds is absolutely false, perhaps that person doesn’t know what mid century is. I believe I counted a total of maybe 3 items that had the lovely rattan detailing that I love (one single one priced at $35) I did not see the rest. But this store needs some huge rework, cleaning and organizing. Many items I found were way overpriced there was a small decorative owl which I’ve purchased myself at Dollar tree (for a $1) priced at $3, a used wicker laundry basket priced at $30, another wicker basket while it was a a gorgeous find was not worth $40 (for that you might as well go to Home Goods), many stained/heavily used houseware items that were $3+, not to mention a top shelf in what I think was the craft section (hard to tell by this hoarders paradise) had SPIDERWEBS on it. There’s a lot more to say.. but while I walked out with 3 items (they require a $5 min charge) to anyone who else who loves a new potential thrift spot.. safe yourself the trip and keep driving! I myself should have kept in mind their 3...

Imma be real with you. When I saw this thrift store chock full of Westgate resort items and queen of Versailles merchandise, I thought that Jackie siegel just dumped truckloads of stuff she didn't want off at a local thrift store. I did not realize that this was HER thrift store. I cannot even begin to say what a mess this place is. They legit were selling half used bottles of Westgate resort toiletry samplers. Half the stuff in this store was junk and most of the prices were not even that good. I understand that Jackie Siegel owns this store and that its gonna naturally turn into her junk drawer but this store feels like a joke. I mean, I understand that she has an important mission to give back to the community, but I sincerely do feel like she needs to come in and purge the inventory. No one is interested in buying half used Westgate shampoo bottles. Jackie really needs to get this stores act together and turn this place around. On the website it says its a high end luxury thrift store but it makes goodwill look like louis vuitton. I genuinely think thst she could have a really popular store that could raise alot of funds for charity if she just cleaned up and marketed the store better, but until then it's just gonna feel like your walking into her...

I only share this because because I want this thrift store to succeed. A lot of their items are way overpriced. Salvation army,dollar store, and goodwill have better prices. The store is too cluttered and becomes very cumbersome to browse. You have to dig to try and find things. They really need to work on the display. It's a huge building but the trees hide it very well and I'm sure they miss a lot of drive by clientele. The items they put out front actually make me want to NOT go in. It looks like junk just thrown out there. Again, they need to work on the display out front. The people are very nice and the music is upbeat. The lightning is dim so I quickly get out of the shopping mood. These are relatively easy fixes and it would make a huge difference. No one likes their store critiqued but I like thrifting and see the potential...
