I'm a total sucker for a good vintage/thrift spot, and this one is a gem worth browsing if you've got the time. The storefront is on the smaller side and packed with treasures--trinkets, jewelry, vintage clothing, and other eclectic pieces. It might take a little digging, but that's part of the fun!

The layout of the store is pretty good but could feel crowded if there are lots of people inside. There is plenty of parking in front of the building- I've never had an issue with parking. My favorite thing about this thrift store? It directly benefits the Humane Society of Summit County!

Happy Trails Thrift Shop is one of my regular stops when I am out thrifting in the Akron area…read more Located on Merriman Road just South of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Happy Trails is a great place to shop. The shop has a nice variety of decor, knickknacks, kitchenware, jewelry, collectibles, art books and lots of other stuff; they do not carry clothes, shoes and similar items. The thrift shop benefits the Summit Humane Society, so they have a nice selection of pet supplies and toys. I enjoy Happy Trails for the collectibles and art items. Over the years I have gotten a number of interesting items, recently I picked up a small carved Asian wood panel and a small replica Samuri helmet. I have also picked up pans, collectible pins and a backpack from Happy Trails. You can never be sure what they will have for sale, but they always have an interesting selection. They also have some really good high-end items most of which are up front near the register; they also usually have some nice antiques or vintage items. Overall prices are very reasonable especially because of the quality of the items they are offering. If you are in the area a stop at Happy Trails Thrift is well worth your time, they always have some fun items and great selection. Plus it is great to help support the Humane Society either by donating or buying something at the store. The staff at the store are wonderful and very friendly.

I love antiques! I've noticed that many "antique stores" in the area are not as they claim. This…read moreshop has amazing antiques. Also the merchandising and staging is absolutely lovely! I came prepared to spend time exploring this shop and making a few purchases. Now, the reason why I gave a 1 star review. Not sure who their target demographic is, but the impression I got from my first visit to this antique shop is that I am NOT that person. I was not welcomed when I came in. I figured she was busy. As I continued to explore the store, I overheard the shop keeper welcome and make small talk with every person who came in. (Of note they were older and white). After hearing this multiple times I put away what I was planning to buy (some old post cards and books) and left. I am very disappointed by my experience. Is it possible that this lady wasn't judging me? Sure! However, she gave me this impression and therefore I will never be visiting this establishment and will telling everyone I know not to do so as well. Antiquing is a passion of mine and knowing that there is a beautiful shop so close to where I live due to poor behavior, makes me sad. If you (look rich) and are white, congrats, you will receive red carpet treatment. If you look not rich, even though you actually do well (physician in my case) or are not white, this is not the shop for you! Luckily there are plenty of great places for me to spend money!

I stopped here on a whim after an appointment in town and was extremely pleasantly surprised. This…read moreshop is very cozy & inviting with plenty of great, affordable finds. Janine (I'm sorry if I spelled your name wrong), the owner, was so friendly & inviting. Seriously, if you want to visit a local owned business that deserves support, this lady is it.

Not sure if it was candles, or some other product, but it was very strong. I think it was a cinnamon scent, but both my husband and I noticed it immediately on entry, and within a minute or two, my throat was scratchy and felt tight. Someone with breathing issues or asthma would have a serious problem here. We had to leave. It's too bad, there seemed to be nice items to look at, and we like supporting locally owned businesses.
