What a bummer that I got here only 1/2 hour before they closed!! I had just made it to town on a…read moreSunday, and didn't have time to any more antiquing before heading back to the airport the next morning, so was very happy to stop in here, and do a quick lap. I saw so many things I wanted to get! Unfortunately, some of them were way to big to wrangle home, but nonetheless it was fun looking around. The place had a mix of authentic antiques and new made to look old stuff in a few booths. A number of booths featured vintage clothing, and home decor, with the full rainbow of small collectibles and ephemera. Also, as an out-of-towner, the directions took me to the front of the store, with only street parking, but there was a parking lot behind the building, and other fun shops in the building. This was on a lower level. Definitely a spot worth wandering around if you like old things.

Was in town for a wedding and several people recommended visiting the Crompton Collective...and…read morecollective is the best was to capture the essence of the place. Very interesting and unique locally owner stores and super friendly people!! I was fascinated by the store " Seed to Stem" which is described as a lifestyle and plant boutique. They had a fascinating array of plants and plant related books/items as well as a full array of interesting home related items...decor items crystals/incense, books and the like. It was easy to spend on hour in the store just taking it all in. We also went to the Aristide in the basement and enjoyed looking at the wide range of items...books, clothing, jewelry, knick knacks of various ages, and general home decor items. A fascinating place that you should try!

Pro: Pretty good selection; prices are good Con: since…read moreCOVID, changing rooms are still closed so you have to either try clothes on over your clothes or just guess it will fit. There are also no bathrooms open to the public. So if you decide to go make sure to dress in a way that would best accommodate trying clothes on over them. I found great items but when I tried them on I had issues putting them on with my clothes on (even if they might work if I didn't have clothes on, I ended up getting nothing)

I will preface this review by stating that I know all things goodwill. If we leave home, there is…read moreBound to be a goodwill stop. From soho down to Brighton, I've seen them all. This well traveled kid sure knows a mean goodwill. It's my wife's fault. She makes me stop. So, here's the shakedown of Worcester goodwill. My grading rubric is becoming the yelp norm. Smell-A-. Reasonably neutral. Not a hint of the standard mothball smell. Doesn't smell like octogenarians, either. Lighting-A. I was able to identify those not-so-mysterious yellowish stains on the inside if some of the men's pants. Pass. Good lighting equals less vomit when I get home and realize what I've bought. Are you listening, Hyannis? Musak: B. pop radio station. A few decent hits to sing out loud while embarrassing the wife to hurry up, notably Kenny Loggins "I'm all right". Organization of clothes: C+. Drives me nuts when pants are arranged by color. Gee, only 77 pairs of tan khakis left to find the magical 34/30. Needle in a haystack. Oh goodie, let's move onto 58 pairs of blue to search. Listen up, Wooster, or whatever it is...arrange all pants by waist size. Narrow them dogs down, and let me see my options. Yes, the minions must do more work, but that's how it needs to happen. Shirts, etc. seemed logical. Brand namishness: A-. Lots of good names here...Ralph, tommy, and mr. Bean all made plentiful appearances. College towns seem to bring n the best names! Employees: B. yup. Working. Not complaining about working. Other notes: scored 50 cents in a pair of pants. Changing rooms seemed like the security cam might see more than normally secure areas of the body. Clean, overall. Funny sign at the drop-off door: "no dumping after hours. $500 fine" in other words, if it is during hours, it is valuable...but after hours, 10 used seersucker suits and dads used LA gear sneakers are rubbish, punishable by fines. To funny. Would love to see what prompted that sign. Musta been bad. 50 used George Michael concert shirts bad, So yes, friends, this one is pretty stout in the world of goodwill. A pillar of savings, cloaked in unusual normalcy. Denizens of Wooster, dine heartily on the textile buffet that awaits. It's bizarre. It's interesting. It's cheap. It's goodwill.

It's like going on an adventure every time I shop there. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have.

Updating because I just do not get it. They hired a new jewelry person and they are pricing things…read moreWAY TOO HIGH. I went in today and saw a brooch with almost all the rhinestones missing, priced at $24.99. I asked the jewelry person if there's any way they could give me a better price because of the missing stones, and she said "no because someone will buy that just for the silver." What she doesn't understand is that 1.) sterling isn't worth all THAT much--it's not gold; and 2.) that brooch was made of MAYBE 2 grams of sterling, which would be worth about $2. I mean, this woman was putting regular old beat-up Alex & Ani bracelets in the locked case....I'm not normally able to make it to this Savers during the work day, but I made time for it today because I wanted to see who was doing this. I've spoken to the manager about the jewelry pricing and he said he agreed and that management was planning on speaking to her about prices being too high....that was at the end of January....i mentioned it again and he basically said they were trying to convince her to lower the prices. Convince her?!? She's an employee. Am I crazy, or should she do what management tells her to do......?! Also: I have seen almost ZERO gold/gold-plated/gold-filled jewelry in the case since the new year when she started. That leads me to believe that whatever gold is coming in is getting "lost"...... It's no wonder I've seen the same jewelry in the case for over a month. Their jewelry sales must not be great now, and I bet they have TONS of jewelry just piling up and piling up and piling up. It's a real shame that people who can't afford to buy decent jewelry new can't even afford it used now. I miss the last jewelry lady--she didn't give the jewelry away, but she also understood the importance of providing treasures that make the hunt worthwhile.

For dorm supplies like bed risers, notebooks, whiteboards for your dorm room, etc., the Clark…read morethrift store is a great place to go. I've found some basic kitchen stuff here, but I've also noticed that a lot of their pots and pans are really scratched up and not in good condition. Staff/volunteers do a nice job of styling the mannequins, but I've hardly bought any clothes from this thrift store, and I thrift for all my clothes. I haven't really found any amazing finds here. No really nice brands. It seems like cheap college kid clothes. I am a Clark student and know that the store gets many donations from its students around move out day, so maybe then is a better time to shop. The store also gets its donations from unclaimed laundry, so those clothes for sale are often clean, on the bright side.

Despite its size, this small shop seems to have amazing array of stuff including appliances and…read moretrendy new clothing. Apparently they get most of their donations from the university and the student there in, that explains why the clothing styles tend to be so modern. If you are looking for dorm goods or newer styled clothing than what you might see at most thrift stores I would recommend checking here first.

I have visited this shop several times, most recently this past Saturday, because a friend of mine…read morewanted to check it out. The shop has a large number of vendors, some of whom I am friends with. Unfortunately, the owner is very outspoken about their far-right politics on social media. It's distasteful when business owners are so vocal about their political views, regardless of the side they support. This shop is a thrift/antique market; who do they think their primary customer base is? In their post, they stated: "If you don't like this or don't agree with it. You already know there are other shops to choose from, or take your ass to Target" I sent a message suggesting they should be careful about publicly taking sides on political issues. I mentioned that I know some vendors there and that I would most likely not return. The owner's response: "No one asked you what you thought; we don't need you to return. You most definitely dont have any friends lol so have a good summer Karen." This is not how a business owner should behave, and it's incredibly toxic! While they are right that there are other places to shop in the area, actions like this likely lose more customers than they gain. When I stated that I would make sure others knew how he acted he then placed my image and information on blast on FB and Instagram for "his customers to decide" Of course adding a ton of far-right political nonsense where his equally toxic supporters added their thoughts.
