Visit 1 x month, have found many excellent fines, both for home and clothing for work. Very impressed with the store and associates.

I've been in the store recently and have noticed employees shopping, telling other employees what they are shopping for, having items put aside for them. Some of the staff are rude, push by you before saying excuse me. Having conversations on the phone while on the floor. The main thing I noticed was around Christmas there was items coming out to be bought that was not on the floor but rather from the back. Back with the other owner I remember seeing employees hiding merchandise and getting them when they get off their shift, I thought with the new owners things would be different. read more

When other large thrift stores closed their dressing rooms during COVID I started coming to 2nd Ave. I guess I have a weird build, but I need to try clothing on before I buy. Just went on a search for a pair of jeans, found 4 or 5, and went to get a room to try them on and decide which I wanted to buy, but NO MORE dressing rooms! Sorry, but I will not be shopping here for clothing without, and I'm sad because I like the store. read more

I've been going here about 2 years and it's usually hit or miss. Pricing is all over the place so you can never be sure anything is a good price unless you Google it. Still it's usually a decent experience and the staff has been generally helpful. However tonight was my worst retail experience in a long long time. It was 530 pm on June 27 and not only did most of the items not scan (usually happens with one or 2) but the 2 new people "working" the register were rude, unhelpful, and critical of the people whose items wouldn't scan. I've never EVER had this happen before but it happened tonight. They were flippant and disrespectful to me and to other customers. Like I said the usual staff are pleasant and helpful but these 2 people were rude and unhelpful to everyone. 2 young white people. One a big boned young man and the other small skinny female. I have a feeling management doesn't really care but I'm giving details along with the time and date of my visit in case they do read more

I love the variety of items in this store. They have great prices for the variety of items they have

The 50% off sales are wonderful. Great quality clothing. Even on non 50% sales days the other discounts are great. I take the Amtrak just to go to the half off sales. The goodwill and dav prices are awful. Highly recommended read more

Always filled with great selections if clothing and housewares. Prices are moderate. A good place for secondhand goods.

For those who like the hunt to get great stuff at super low prices, this is your place. Is everything top shelf? No. But a lot is if you know what you are looking for. Everything is well organized by size not by color which I hate because it is very time consuming! Prices have gone up over the past few years and since Covid organization has taken a little hit with keeping thing sorted properly but my guess is as soon as they have more employees coming back that will even out. read more

It's very clean and orderly inside. Looks like a regular store with no musty odor like some thrift and second-hand stores. You can find a lot of nice buys. Sometimes the clothes or items are new and still have original price tags. In fact, there are A lot of completely unused, new items stacked in the front at the checkout line - like socks and even snacks. On the parking lot, you might see a Mercedes parked next to an, old car like mine. Both young and old, poor and not so poor folks come here. read more

This used to be a fantastic thrift store. I have been shopping here since it was Village thrift store. The last three times I've went I've been so disappointed. This store has been ruined by greed! Their price is used to be inexpensive and fair. They have recently raised all their prices barely anything is ever in there tag sale. The staff has been rude and unhelpful. I don't believe I will ever go back. This review applies to both Stemmers run store and the one in Columbia. It's such a shame. read more

I love this place!!! There is not a time that I don't find something in the store. I'm not one who goes in and buys just anything... I love to look for brand names and they have them here. From Chicos, DKNY, Liz Claiborne, Ann Taylor, etc... they also have great boots and shoes. I'm actually getting ready to get in my car and go up there right now. You won't be disappointed. read more

Got some jerseys there for the low but should've known better cause they were fake. Tried to return/exchange them (with receipt and tags still on clothing) but they don't accept returns apparently even though it doesn't say anywhere that they don't. Careful shopping here read more

This place has some great finds! I have found multiple name brand items in excellent shape, even some with tags still on. It is decently well organized and it is easy to find things for the most part. I like to visit on Sundays/Mondays to get the half-price deals. Most of the patrons and employees are super friendly. I highly recommend this place to my fellow thrifters! read more

2nd Ave - Some of my fab finds today! Easily over $500 worth of clothes for $29. AG jeans, Joe's Jeans, Talbots, J. Crew, Minkpink... - Thrift Stores Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

See all

I have shopped at this store and I liked it I found a lot of good buys and they are always nice to me every time I go in the store I would recommend this thrift store to any one read more

Lovely nice, clean store. I stop here every once in a blue moon for old times sake. Always loved thrift stores from olden times with my Grandma and later with the fabulous space lady. Bought about 22 bucks worth of stuff I don't need but somebody will need (youngins). Tried to buy a gravy bowl but the cashier woman took it back, something about a set which I never saw. Ma'am, please don't pick through my used stuff. But who needs 18 piece set of anything. Although I did see a lady with like three 18 piece dish sets. I am like, oh, little house on the prairie, OK. She wanted to take my John Wayne lunch box I bought for nostalgia saying it was a collectable. Well, where can I cash in for this lunch box in the capitol of collections in Laurel, MD. LOL! Besides, El Dorado is my favorite movie. Should go nice with my Incredible Hulk lunch box. Also, got a nice tea pot for those lazy Sunday mornings and an oil spout pourer thing to replace my small one. Although it pours too fast as my son found out. Picked up two nice spaghetti and meatball serving bowls like at Olive Garden. Bought a big ole shaker container thing for my black pepper that I buy in bulk. I have never been able to buy a decent pepper shaker, we will see how that works. Bought two white décor bowls for my cereal (1.99 for both) was ready to fight the lady over these and I would have lost terribly. Now in all fairness, she wrapped all my stuff so nicely I forgot it was my stuff. Where was this place during my high school and college years? Oh, I forget, I did not have a car. Life is so unfair sometimes. My apologies to the cashier lady after all, that's just her nature and me as well. I highly recommend this store to everybody. Young, old, different races, rich, poor. read more

Been shopping here for close to ten years. Never left here empty handed...UNTIL TODAY Seems to be under new management, and though it seems more organized, the selection, quality...AND MOSTLY THE PRICES... have taken a nose dive. I seriously came here on a weekly basis, as I enjoyed finding some bargains, and hidden treasures. Left empty handed and extremely disappointed. Almost angered by the new prices. THIS IS FREE INVENTORY!!! All donations, including from me! Boo hiss!! read more

Went here and purchased a 3pc twin sheet set (used of course) when i got home and spread it out on laundry room floor i noticed 5 dead bed bugs on it. They were dead thankfully but im still scared of possible eggs on it inside my home. I told the manager and they did not care nor offer me a refund of any kind and were also kind of rude to me. read more

I was really disappointed that I checked In at the store as yelp requested and they refuse to honor the 10%off purchase which was really unfair I was really disappointed but besides that I have really good finds at this store read more

Great store! I recently had a house fire, and all of my suits have been removed for dry cleaning. I wear suits , 2 or 3 times a week, I've found some great designer suits, dress pants, and ties. The prices were unbelievable! I never went there on the day of a sale and found low everyday prices . read more
