Great store. The best thrift in Gainesville…read more Customer service is iffy. A lovely pregnant woman helped me with my transaction and was so kind and helpful. My mom was not so lucky. A heavily-tattooed and pierced woman cashed out my mom, and she could not have been more rude. There were many items my mom had found that did not have price tags, so we brought them up to get price checks before purchasing. We noticed she was a bit on edge from the start, and tried to lighten the mood by paying her a compliment on her glasses. This did us no good. She went on to insinuate that we had taken off the price tags to try and get lower prices. Are you serious? Believe me, we want to know the prices just as much as anyone else, and we gladly put things back that we do not feel are worth the price. She treated us as an inconvenience to her the whole time. And when the lady picked a price for one of the tag-less items, my mom suggested a lower price telling her that it would need to be repaired, and she said with a laugh "I mean, I don't know what to tell you, it's a thrift store." We had had such a delightful experience up to that point, spending nearly two hours on a treasure hunt, and each of us purchased an entire cart of things. This lady almost ruined our experience. I will definitely be back, but now I know who to steer clear of.

I found a few fun work tops and dresses and an oversized soft blazer that will be great for fall. Also a few hair clips. All for around $100. I actually love that the employees leave me alone!

There was no line to check out and the employee at the register was perfectly pleasant. I actually may go back today to get a sweater I passed on that I'm still thinking about!

Wow, this place is huge!…read more Trying to furnish your new home on the cheap? This "re-store" is the place to do it. Whether you need a new couch, coffee table, window, or toilet seat, this thrift store is so much more. It also serves as as a builder close out, so they actually have a lot of building materials if your home upgrading is a little more handy-man than my hang-some-cool-artwork method. As Janet mentioned, they do know what their stuff is worth, so on the furniture end, you probably won't walk away with any amazing bargains. But for reasonably priced second hand furniture with a huge selection to chose from, this is the place to go. And, all the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity, how cool is that? Something to keep an eye out for: At least once a year they have a huge sale where everything in the store is 50%, so keep an eye out for that ton really get those good bargains!

You'd probably need to ask for help with them because they are difficult to get to and look at since it's all stacked on top of each other and behind other furniture. They also have some fabric and books, but not nearly the quantity they used to. Lots of electronics and dishes, cups if you need any of that! Masks are required and they have Lysol wipes and hand sanitizer at the entrance. There is a sign saying you must have a cart with you in order to control how many people can come in, but it wasn't enforced at all.

It takes forever to shop because you have to triple inspect everything - poor tagging / holes in clothes and excessive broken merch. There is no way to test lamps because they're removing the bulbs now. Today there was soiled underwear on the floor for the duration of my visit, over 2 hours. The new security guard Zack made me extremely uncomfortable and I'd advise any sole women shoppers to stay aware. I asked the manager Stephanie for help as he kept invading my personal space. She turned and walked into the office without saying a word. It was baffling. I couldn't complete my purchase because I was scared to leave my personal info / phone on the furniture pick up form. He emphatically refused to move away from me when I asked him to in front of multiple employees and Steph, the manager. Zack also refused to give me his name until another customer intervened: If you're not doing anything wrong as a 'security guard' you shouldn't have a problem with providing your name. After I left that same customer came outside to tell me that the security guard was bad-mouthing me. I'm now considering legal action and will be requesting security footage. Lastly, under previous management I'd been given permission to bring my service dog in. The security guard Zack asked to see my pets tag last week- this is NOT allowed under the ADA. Goodwill says their pet policies are determined by management and are due to customer allergy concerns. Anyone who's ever been inside a goodwill knows that's not true. The pungent mildew and perfume aromas give it away. If I ran my business like goodwill I'd be out of business. Skip the east side location
