There was no telling what kind of cool treasure you'd walk out the door with. I think a change in management also brought a change in pricing ideology. There are few bargains to be found anymore. They aren't flexible in offering a discount if an item is overpriced. I still go in and look around but seldom find anything to buy. Whoever is pricing the store items needs to get in touch with reality and understand how to price used donated items.

This store used to be good -- not great, but good -- back when it was located near the O'Charley's…read moreon 29. I'm not sure what's happened since they moved to their current location, but it's really not worth the trip if you're looking for anything other than bits and pieces of hardware and remodeling supplies. Either this thrift isn't getting a lot of donations or they're just very picky about what they'll accept because what they have for sale isn't much of anything. The furniture is okay. They get a few *really* good quality pieces now and then, but mostly everything is dated (1980s) and overpriced. The book section is okay if you're interested in popular adult fiction from about 10+ years ago, but they don't have many current titles. It looks as if someone had organized the books into genres at some point, but they haven't managed to keep it that way. So even though there's a sci-fi section, you'll likely find romances, how-to books, etc. mixed-in. I wonder why they bother with the signs if they're not going to keep up on the organization. Framed pics/paintings/prints are (again) mostly dated and overpriced. Bric-a-brac is mostly junk. They have several shelves full of 'rejects' from one of those places where you could go and paint ceramics. Why? Why wouId anyone pay $2 for something that someone else painted very badly? In my opinion, it would've made more sense to trash the tacky, ceramic 'rejects' and use the space for things that people might actually want to buy. They have exercise equipment (overpriced) and a section of holiday decor items (overpriced) and that's about it. They put the 'best' items in a 'Silent Auction'. So there's a case with a handful of interesting things in it along with a few pieces of old/interesting furniture positioned nearby and you can bid on them. I suppose some people enjoy that sort of thing, but I can't imagine why anyone (who doesn't live in the area) would want to have to make multiple trips to the store to keep up with the bidding. No, thanks.

Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities. However frustrating when older/larger kids are wreaking havoc and abusing the equipment while moms are talking with their backs turned away from the playground. Don't be those moms.

Pastor Dan and First Lady Kijifa Smith are authentic, wonderful, blessed, and bible based Christian worshiping people who are welcoming the community young and old.

I highly recommend this church! Feel free to visit in person or online.

An unobtrusive structure that you may not notice while driving on Rock Hill Road. The Blessing Box looks a little bit like a chicken coup. The story behind this blessing in the parking lot of a Baptist, Church in Concord is by the hands of a thoughtful, local preteen boy looking to love on the community. He was able to create a repository of food, information and inspiration. Anyone who wants can provide or partake of nonperishable items and groceries anonymously. I stopped by after admiring the gesture and decided to add a few items. I plan to do so regularly. It is written... "God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7

As my sister and I placed various items on the shelves we couldn't help but realize how this blessing box is such a Godsend to so many families that are struggling and may not have food on their table. The Blessing box sits in the parking lot of a small church (Living Faith Church Of The Brethren) a few feet from Rock Hill Church Road, which is a pretty busy street, where people see the Blessing Box and slow down to count their blessings or be a blessing to others. The Blessing Box is always neat, well organized and very well stocked with soups, vegetables, pasta, snacks and books to name a few items. The placards on it says "Take what you need - Leave what you can," (so heart warming). The Blessing Box was Carlin's way of giving back to the community while working towards his Eagle Scout requirement, but little did he know that he would be the bridge that carries some families across. Kudos call Carlin and everyone who supports his project.

I knew leaving her un-spayed was dangerous so I decided to bite the bullet. When I called to make the appointment I was asking 100000x questions and once the receptionist realized I was having a panic attack just making the appointment she was very reassuring, told me she is in very good hands and helped me calm down. Day of, I was a nervous wreck. The staff was so kind, efficient, and trustworthy. The best $125 I've ever spent to make sure my baby girl lives a long healthy life. If you're thinking of getting your animal spayed here, look no further. The incision was hardly even visible and she healed SO well. When I called because my kitty hadn't used the litter box in over 24 hours they gave me solid advice on how to help her and she ended up using the litter box. If I ever get another pet, I will most definitely bring them here!
