I've only heard good things about this place so far so I had to visit it. First impressions are…read morethat it's clean and well organized. For the size of the space, which isn't too big, they still had a great selection. Since we visited after the holidays they had lots of sales. Not as much furniture from what I could tell, but great amount of kitchen dinnerware and clothing! Parking lot is crazy big since it's by a few other places. Driving here was also a breeze since there were quite a few signs leading to it! I'll definitely be checking this place out again soon.

My gf and I stumbled across this thrift store yesterday as we were doing our rounds. I guess it's…read morebeen open for four months, but it hadn't shown up on our radar until now. A wide assortment of clothes and hard goods. As far as layout and in-store vibe I'd put this up as one of the nicest thrift stores in the Des Moines metro! From their web site: "About us: We wanted to create a different kind of thrift store with a premium shopping experience - one where people could count on finding a great variety of quality items in an organized, pleasant atmosphere. Thriftmart is a nonprofit store owned by Joppa. All merchandise has been donated by Joppa Partners to match our meticulous quality standards so that you'll enjoy quality finds, every time! We all know thrifting is important for sustainability. Reusing items is not only economical it also helps sustain the environment. Plus, all unsold Thriftmart merchandise goes to good causes--nothing goes to waste. What's more, every purchase helps someone experiencing homelessness to survive, find housing and rebuild their lives. Our goal is to ultimately help end homelessness in central Iowa." https://thriftmart.com/

I had an awful experience with an employee being rude to me here because I didn't know if he was…read moreready to check me out or not. He wasn't really looking at me, and usually the nice thing to do in retail is say something like "I can help whoever is next." Two other customers come up after maybe a minute (at most) and ask me if I was ready, and he blurts out "I don't know what she's waiting for!" And still doesn't address me directly. It was honestly embarrassing! I walk up and lay my things down on the counter and just explain I wasn't sure, and he cuts me off and says "I didn't know I had to make an announcement." The whole checkout process he is still in a mood and doesn't say anything after I say "thank you" even though he's the one who's been rude. I was (and still am) appalled by this kind of treatment, especially in front of other customers. I'm glad there's other locations to shop at!

However, if the pricers know what an item is, you we are out of luck. They will price it at Ebay prices. If you're shopping for popular luxury brands, you can save time and frustration by buying from a seller on eBay.

Every now and then you comes across a place on Yelp that makes you step back a little... I've been…read morehere a TON of times! How have I not reviewed this place before now...?! The Picker Knows is one of those places... Probably the premier, and my favorite, antique "mall" in the Des Moines metro! Rows and rows of vendor booth and cases. I'd hate to total the money up that I've spent here... And buying is great, but a lot of times I just have fun window shopping. Looking at the many different things here that I can't afford or have no business spending money on... Lol Very large display items, furniture, antiques, retro and vintage, some modern, a few clothes, comics, vinyls, Hot Wheels, some dusty and rusty things, handcrafted items, and tons of smalls! Prices are vendor driven. So some are high, some are at market, and there are great deals to be found here too. As a veteran I appreciate the veteran's only parking spot near the front door. At only 55 I pass it up a lot because there are veterans in A LOT worse shape than I am. But I have used it a couple of times. It's so easy to spend hours here! Vendors leave and new vendors fill their slots. And with the merchandise being vendor provided...the selection is ever changing! The staff is fantastic and always available for questions or to open a case! The bathrooms aren't terrible for this environment. They aren't perfect...pretty plain Jane...but they don't send you running for the hills. Lol The Picker Knows is a must stop in the Des Moines metro if you are into antiquing or thrifting!
