Thrift Out — Local services in Springdale

I am so excited that my favorite upscale thrift store Beautiful Lives has finally opened an outlet store! They have a great selection, kind employees, and suport wonderful causes. The only down side is the outlet is it is nothing like their other stores. They carry the items that did not meet their standards to sell in their upscale stores - so more Goodwill quality. Some items are very worn and have holes and stains. They have A LOT of merchandise -men's, women's, and kids along with books, toys, and housewares so you do have to do a lot of digging and browsing. Most items are sorted and hung but some are just in bins. I do wish they had carts or bags to shop with and fitting rooms. Even pop up fitting rooms like they use at events would be nice. The pricing is OK here, it is by weight which can get expensive. Kids toys are $1 a lb and books are only 50 cents a lb which is awesome! But clothes and shoes are $4 a lb which I think is quite high unfortunately for the quality of items. Both times I went with my kids I got a few items -a pair of jeans, a skirt, and 3 tops and it was $24! Not what I expected for sure since I pay that at their regular stores for nicer brands/items. However, they do have frequent sales and a rewards program so you can save money that way! It's definitely worth checking out and you are supporting a non profit and their...

Enjoyed it but has a lot of room for improvement. I think definitely fitting rooms! A breastfeeding space would be nice as well as a baby changing station. Organization wise it would be great if they had a maternity clothes section close to the baby items. A petite specific clothes are would be awesome as well. Less clothes on the racks is always better so you can go through items comfortably without feeling like there’s so much you can’t even see the next item because of how jammed pack the rack is. Also you’re expected to take the hangers and safety pins off your clothes before but there is no signage. I would encourage you to bring your own bags. Prices were great! It was not by the pound when I went. Found some great stuff after digging a bit. Not great quality on kid clothes but I’m sure it will get better as they get acclimated. Excited to have a...

I was pretty disappointed in this thrift store. I was so excited because I live super close to it. But when I went inside the clothing was stuff that just needed to be thrown out. Almost everything I picked up was worn to its last bit of life having holes and stains. Or it was brands like SHEIN, Temu and other fast fashion items. And at priced by the pound it would have been like paying full price for those items in the first place and getting them new. I searched the racks and found nothing that was worth my time. I tried to go again to give it another chance and it was closed. The hours were so weird. I hope they can figure it out and be successful but so far I don’t see this place...
