Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Foundation & Resale Store — Local services in Orono

My husband and I came into this establishment on a Sunday afternoon to browse and see what the place was about...upon walking into the threshold the two young (teens maybe early 20s) woman who work here gave us a scathing look rather than a warm greeting. We started looking around (following the arrows along their floor) and made our way to the lighting section and was browsing through some of their items when one of these ladies felt the need to come over and start shutting the lights to the lamps on display off without a single word to us. We took this that they were closing and this was her hinting way to say LEAVE.. so we did just that! We walked straight out of the door and got into our vehicle. As we were backing out of the parking space the exact young lady was then outside on her phone. So please tell me what was the importance of turning the lights off right where we were just to turn around and pretty much follow us out if the store.

The store is always very clean and organized. And the staff are both friendly and helpful.

Definitely call or check their website for when they have sales and you can find great clothing pieces for under $10/each.

This is a very high-end resale shop. Don't expect anything under a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, except for the occasional print or clothing item. Items are donated by local communities surrounding the affluent Lake Minnetonka neighborhoods to benefit Breast Cancer charities. 🎀 Inventory is constantly changing, so if you see something you like, grab it that day. You can pay and leave it for pick-up at a later date if your purchased item is large. Beautiful framed pictures, paintings, furniture both antique and...
