    I've been a regular here since moving to the area 5 years ago. Since the change in ownership the quality has tanked and the prices have skyrocketed. Pricing racks of USED SHEIN for $8+ is criminal. The only remaining redeeming quality are the handful of friendly young people who work here.

    I shopoed here August 12, 2025! I bought the Lloyds stereo for $14.99, and a five VHS pack of the Three Stooges, for $5.99! The stereo works GREAT! Though, I had to clean the cassette heads, capstans, and pinch rollers. Of ehich is usual with old stereos

    I found the most beautiful London Fog coat here and was so excited to see it was only $25! But, I guess while walking around the store the tag fell off of it. I didn't notice until getting to the register and the cashier was searching for it and he said that if theres no tag he cant sell it. I said I would walk around the store to try and find the tag but apparently they have a policy where if the tag isnt attached they wont sell it. It 'has to get taken to the back and retagged overnight'. I probably would have been fine with this if any of the staff working were actually polite about it but instead the manager came out and came at me with an attitude when I hadn't even spoke to her myself yet. Probably won't be coming back here, but congrats to anyone that gets to snag this coat tomorrow when it hits the racks again!!! :)

    This is a decent thrift store in the area. I like their selections of products. Their prices are reasonable. Parking is plentiful and good. When I got there today, they just finished re-paving the parking lot. I had to park in the street right in front.

    Haven't been here for over 15 years. #ShowingIzzyTheSpot.

    I always say that my pickers off when it comes to men and that's why I'm single. Yet my thrift store picker is always good ! I used to spend hours in this store . I would always get amazing vintage and lots of designer stuff here. I got a turquoise mid century couch that I still have today. Its my favorite thing I own. Originally marked 300 and I got it for $30 Most happiest moment of my young life was buying that turquoise couch I promise you! I I've always been into the 50s! I use to go down each aisle and just pull everything out and put it sideways so other people can find it. A lot of Designer Kotor labels Versace, PierreCardin, and of course the vintage classics. So much cool stuff here ! Most of my pillbox hat collection I got here for all under five dollars ! That was definitely 20 years ago now things have definitely changed. These days I don't need to find a one of a kind outfit that I'm going to see 400 to 30,000 People in. I'm not a big-time clubs Promoter that was known for having an original Vintage style Like I was back then. I will tell you that I cherish each treasure that I found here. When I'm purging through my stuff trying to minimalize my life I never get rid of the treasures I found here. Re-purposing is amazing but don't let it take over your life. This is definitely a great Nonprofit to contribute to, and definitely a five star Thrifting experience.

The selection of clothing from all sorts of era. You have fun theme items which theres loads. Of course they can be a daily wear item. The vintage collection is top notch. All the decors throughout the stores are fun. Vintage mannequin heads, the dressing rooms doors made of old vintage refrigerator doors, they were great. There's a huge selection of vintage jewelry on displays as well as loads of fun sunglasses. Beside the clothes, the vintage signs which I assume are display were fun. Now that'll be great for home decor. Not sure if they're for sale though. Basically this is another gem along the art district that worth a wander. So much amazing and fun pieces.

My quick "I'll just check it out," turned into an hour of thrifter heaven and a few beautiful pieces that now grace the walls and shelves of my home. Prices are fair, depending on vendor; their merchandise is good to high quality. They also played awesome 80's music to enhance your shopping pleasure :) I forgot to snap pics because I was too overwhelmed with excitement, but added a shot of my favorite piece on my wall.

Ventilation is much better here compared to the warehouse from before, and they've taken care to add some fun murals throughout the store. It's possible they put the popcorn machine away for the event, but I'm hopeful the next time it'll be back by the entrance; it's a staple! My main critique with the former space was that much of the costume jewelry and trinkets were behind glass. Part of the fun of antiquing for me is being able to touch, feel, and engage with historical pieces - it seems like the new setting has solved for this. I found a fantastic tapestry finger purse from JR Miami 1950s-1960s for $20 (one of the ladies who works there told me she nearly bought it that morning) and a sweet $3 footed teacup I'll upcycle for my plant collection, I recognized some of the booths, so I'm glad they were able to move with LB Antiques. If your dog is well-behaved, they are also super dog-friendly here and your pooch will have a field day sniffing all the textiles and curios. My only remaining gripe - and it was a gripe when the space was still Joann's - is the parking can be gnarly getting into! Between the pub and Pilates, the plaza can get pretty busy and the parking spots need to be repainted,

This was my first trip to the shop, and it was great! It is way bigger than you'd initially think it is, which makes it such a fun way to spend a few hours exploring all the goodies in the shop. They have everything from clothes to silverware to home goods, vinyls, shoes, art, jewelry, and more. They wrap your items up with paper so they stay protected while you're transporting it home. Right now, they have their seasonal Christmas items up and available for purchase. The store can be difficult to get around depending on whether or not you have certain accommodations necessary for navigation. For example, no ramps inside despite some steps, and some of the spaces are fairly narrow. However, the store has a sign up that they're happy to try to help all customers access the store; you have to let them know if you need help. Overall, I found their prices to be fairly competitive. They do have sales which you can find out about via their Instagram page. They do not offer any discounts on items. They accept both cash and credit cards, but prefer cash. If you use a credit card, your minimum purchase must be at least $10 or else you incur a fee. If I read things right, they only accept Visa and Mastercard.

Prices run on the higher side of items values.
