I found an antique melamine plastic bowl like Texas Ware bowls. I already have a bunch but not that color. It was $14. Similar pricing to an antique store but helps the charity. Also found a dog toy behind the glass. It looks like my dog for $2.50. Also a Minnesota State Mavericks t shirt for $1.75, a picture frame and wiffle balls for 50 cents which got played with at the hotel. Service was nice, prices reasonable, and store was clean. Recommend shopping here for your next treasure.

I live in the Twin Cities but am in Mankato often, so I try to stop by to both donate and shop while I'm in town. As a note regarding all Goodwill stores, I wish they would use price tags that are easier to remove, or at least put them in a less conspicuous spot on the item. I understand why they want the stickers firmly attached, but I've had difficulty in removing the goo from some of my purchases.

I wouldn't call Jan's a thrift store. She has such a wide variety.From baby needs ( clothes toys )…read moreto a antique spoon. In her main shop she has clothes for all sizes gender, all seasons. Bedding from quilts to sheets. Pillows throw pillows knitted blankets. She also has a variation of kitchen appliances, kitchen utensils all the way to ice skates baskets, figurines. In the back is where she keeps her furniture. The furniture can be anywhere from nowaday to antique just depending on what she has in the shop at the time. She also has bed mattresses headboards footboards lamps pictures and picture frames. I myself the shop there because you never know what she's going to have in her shop. It's always a surprise to see something that you haven't seen in years, say that old kitchen utensil that they don't make anymore that you loved to cook with, bam there it is on her shelf. I love pulling up to see all of the craft projects that range in such a variation from something that you would put in a farm home to in your brand new house that you were just looking for that one piece. That mouth drop piece that you have to have. So no Jan's is not a thrift store. Jan's, she is so much more then a store, she is a person and a very delightful person to see when you walk in that door. Happy shopping and remember to pin on your GPS.

This store is very close to the mall if antiques are not your thing or if you want more shopping afterwards. The store is filled with a wide variety of both old (antique and vintage) and some new merchandise. One of the ladies working there helpfully told me which jewelery cases were vintage and which were new. Last Christmas I bought a silk men's tie for $4. I did manage to restrain myself from buying a bunch of items this year, but for those from a larger town or metro small town antique shops like this are a good deal.

I have to - reluctantly - call this place out as being pretty lame…read more After exploring the only antique store in town, I decided to checkout a couple of thrift stores. I went to the Riverside Thrift Shop today. Apparently, it opened only a few months ago. Being fresh and new, by all rights, they should be totally on top of their game. 1) The main problem is it's too darn small. It's little more than one small narrow room. (I think my living room at home is bigger than this store!) As a result, there isn't much inventory...mostly garage sale type stuff...not enough to pick through and find something you might like. There's a HUGE warehouse in back of this building. If THAT was part of the store and filled with stuff too, you'd really have something great. But that's not the case. 2) The dude running the shop ignored us, never smiled, never spoke, and he was completely devoid of any customer service skills whatsoever. Not cool. This definitely sealed the deal and made me not want to ever walk through the door again. There always seems to be at least one crazy person shopping at every thrift store I go to, even a super small one like Riverside. Indeed, I came across one. There was a wild eyed lady buying a dozen ceramic ducks. Despite the sparse inventory, this woman had managed to locate every duck on the premises. She had a whole flock of ducks spread out on the counter. Pretty funny. Not worth the stop. -Daddy Maxx Retro
