Somedays those returning clients make my day 100% Brighter! Goodwill is such a Great organization! If only people knew how much work goes into the whole system. They give people a chance to live a life working with no judgment of your past. They encourage you to be the best person you can be and I don't know where I would be without them. Their prices are very reasonable. People need to remember that we need paid, Bill's need paid, rent paid.... ect. Our store is the Best Goodwill I have ever been in. Granted. We could use a larger building and work area for staff. That would be ideal. The pay is considerably lower than deserved which keeps staff in the poverty level guidelines. Staff turnaround is a problem and I believe that is why.

My father and I have made a few purchases at No Limits Outdoors over the last few years. We're not…read more"frequent" shoppers there, but we've made significant purchases when we do make a visit. And every time we have gone there to make a purchase, it's always been a good experience. Most of the time we have dealt with Andrew himself, and he's great at being clear on what they can or can't get in terms of special orders, and has been quick to get back to us on pricing for special orders, availability, etc. Just this last week, my father and I made a special order with them on a Monday and they had the item available to pick up a week and a day later. This time frame seemed perfectly reasonable to me. Also, I was very happy with the price for this particular item. I was expecting to pay a bit more, and that was before we got a discount for paying up front in cash. For my father and I, No Limits Outdoors has become our first stop when looking for a particular firearm. To date, there is only one firearm I had been looking for that they either didn't have or couldn't obtain - and it was a pretty esoteric item to begin with so I was not surprised. The staff has always been helpful and courteous. Like most any business, there are times where they may be busy with several customers but when they're working with you - you really feel like they're working with you. These days, that alone kinda goes a long way. Know what I mean?

I often tell the owners that if The Hen House ever leaves town -- I'm outta here, as welI! The Hen House is my favorite shopping destination in Spencer.

They offer amazing seasonal items, baby gifts galore (ear of corn chew toy is my favorite staple gift), house wares, kitchen/dining, funking jewelry, pillos, lamps candles. . . Oh, and to receive a gift card from The Hen House is like finding a little lump of precious gold in your pocketbook.

At one point in my Estherville youth, I think this place was Anthony's. That's when the meat…read morepacking plant was open, and there was a little more department store and other business action downtown. Thrifty's has two floors with 6000 sq. ft. of retail space and is filled with gently used merchandise at deep discounts. More importantly, proceeds support ECHO PLUS services for Emmet and Dickinson Counties' people with disabilities. This store also provides employment opportunities for these folks. Program participants sort and hang clothing, price items and clean. In addition, people from the community volunteer at Thrifty's to help keep things going. My Son has never met a yard sale that he didn't love. So as we were recently walking around Downtown Estherville, he made a direct path to Thrifty's Door. I looked around a bit, but quickly snuck out and headed for the Library. The Kid hung around a bit longer, made some friends, and later tried to convince me to buy a few things. Well, it is a good cause....

I grew up not far away in Dows IA and my mom actually worked in Ellsworth for a few years. This shop doesn't look like much from the outside, but it had a great selection inside.

Make sure you pay attention to the sale sign posted on the wall as you walk in past the front counter. When we were there it was 50% off of items tagged after a certain date. The owners are personable and friendly. A definite place to make a stop by if you are into thrifting and are in the Ellsworth IA area!
