If you like browsing the shelves searching for something you didn't know you needed, this is a great place to stop. I did purchase wipes for the interior of my car as that's something I always need and never have handy. I thought their linen section was quite good and the prices competitive. The quality of the products in this section seem to be quite good as well. If I needed a throw rug or bath towels, this is a place I would check out. Tons of kid toys and home decor, craft items, toiletries and food options fill the shelves. Don't expect a spit-polished store. Think "warehouse " and you won't be disappointed.

I have visited this store in Mt Airy several times and like the others I have visited, it has been…read moreclean, well organized and with friendly service. Very similar to the one in Statesville NC. The products are priced less than many of its competitors. I do believe this particular store has more inventory that Statesville does tho. The restrooms were clean and we'll stocked.

They are mostly decor and books and kitchen with some antiques. We did manage to find a few things that were interesting and did make a purchase. Friendly service and the prices are fantastic. As well, the money goes to a great cause - the store is operated by Pawsome Solutions Inc, a 501(c)3 nonprofit providing support to local cat & dog rescues, and offers low cost spay/neuter voucher program in an effort to help end pet overpopulation.

There's been a lot of talk about Trosa Thrift store around town lately. I've seen it all over…read moresocial media so a friend and I decided to check it out on a Friday afternoon. Trosa is located on Peters Creek Hwy in the Food Lion strip center at the Clemmonsville exit. It's easy to get to and there's plenty of parking which I love. Right inside the door is their whole furniture section, they have tons of tables, chairs, dressers , etc. they even have a whole section of office specific furniture. The prices are very reasonable. This would be a furniture flippers paradise. Towards the back they have shelves of everything from pillows to whole sets of dishes, sports equipment and the most medical mobility equipment I've ever seen anywhere. I'd say, if you are in need of a walker, a bath seat or portable toilet for someone look here because they probably have it at a fraction of the cost it would be to purchase new or rent. The clothing is grouped all together but they aren't keeping it organized as well as it needs to be. All different sizes were mixed in together and I quickly got frustrated and gave up. Both of us had found an item in the kitchen area we wanted so we headed to check out. The workers were very friendly as well. I'll definitely be checking out Trosa regularly in the future. Trosa supports substance abuse treatment. If you want to donate to them, they offer pick up for larger items or you can bring your items to their donation drop off around the back of the store. Just follow the signs.

So, perhaps when I speak of Renfro sock outlet, you'll understand why I am happy with this fine retail establishment. First of all, there are a lot of socks. Surprise? Nah. They have a handful of great brands you've heard of and other brands maybe you haven't. The walls are literally lined with socks. I came in for Christmas socks, because who wouldn't want a pair or three? Very, very festive. They also have a ton of socks with all sorts of weird and interesting designs. Dogs, cats, llamas? Well yes, and more. Computers, rockets, cars, cats, and pizza. The selection really is surprising. Located right in downtown Mount Airy, Renfro socks offers a wild assortment for what I would describe as "a great deal." It's not hyperbole. You can go buy a cool pair of socks for your immediate family and probably walk away spending less than you would for a decent meal. All that, and the staff are nice and won't make fun of your potato shoes. You should come see.

We were greeted immediately by the owner, Martha , who was as friendly and nice as anybody we have ever encountered. The three of us got into a conversation that lasted for most of an hour. Martha was so friendly, cordial, interesting and anxious to learn more about us as strangers and consequently we were enamored over her background as well. Our conversation centered on our backgrounds and respective families and frankly became a highlight of our day and time in Mount Airy. She was such an interesting individual who obviously loves what she does professionally. We did end up making a small purchase from her store but moreso than the purchase the best part of the day was meeting Martha and the enjoyable conversation we all three enjoyed. Thanks, Martha.
