Christian Recovery Recovery Center, Inc: Sunset Thrift Store — Local services in Sunset Beach

Have been here many, many times. Some of the staff are very nice (namely one young/ middle aged woman in particular), many staff however are NOT so nice. Most recently, one of the staff almost ran me down with a large metal rack and told me to get out of the way, didn’t even ask politely or anything.

But when they ask the manager they told her to charge the lady that wanted it. So they made money off of this donated item TWICE! While this is not some heinous act it was still an opportunity to show compassion over greed. Also to the point of a lot of other reviewers this place has a staff that will make you feel like they are doing you a favor just by being there. They're only seems to be about one out of the lot of them that has a personality befitting of working...

We found their original location in Holden Beach and was very impressed two days ago. When they told us a second location was opening June 1st we knew we were going and was not disappointed. Neat, clean, well organized and very reasonable prices. What really separates them from other thrift locations were the staff who were very helpful and genuine. God...
