Maybe I was too preoccupied with the big box thrifts in the area; Community Aid, Salvation Army, and Goodwill to go out and explore those less known. Do yourself a favor - don't make my mistake! This little thrift store is full of treasures waiting to be discovered and supports a number of ministry projects. Easy to find off Route 72 and open till 8 pm most days this location in a residential neighborhood has its own lot. Inside you'll find displays that will rival any retail store window. The organization is thoughtfully arranged by color/size/garment and it's easy to find exactly what you're looking for. If you're a brand whore you won't be disappointed. I saw many Chico, Dress Barn, and even Michael Koors pieces, all in top notch condition. Several items still had tags attached. While their inventory isn't as plentiful as the big box thrift, it's ample. Quality and current trends were on point. Just like their Palmyra sister store the jewelry display is artfully arranged. Prices were fair. On average shirts ran from $3.99-$5.99, jeans and pants a bit higher. I scored a great pair of like new shoes for $3, Halloween items were just .25 cents apiece - regardless if it was a pair of funky glasses or a full blown costume. While there were only a few, it's worth checking out. Aside from ladies clothing which dominates the store you'll find a men's section, children's clothing, toys, housewares, a very small furniture dept. (with signs saying that area will be transformed into a Christmas area in the next few weeks), housewares, wicker, bric brack, books, + a small card & craft section. While I browsed soft music played overhead and the cashier was very eager to assist in any way she could to enhance your shopping experience. The two dressing rooms were clean, spacious, and had plenty of hooks. A 50% off coupon can be found in some of the weekly rural newspaper editions and they also offer different specials/sales events from time to time. They even accept returns on clothing only up to 14 days. Electronics are checked but you're encouraged to plug in and verify for yourself since they can't be returned. Donations are easy to unload at the dock and I overheard they welcome your donation of unwanted boxes and plastic bags. Now that I know they exist I'll be checking them out more often!

I am going to go ahead and give this thrift shop 5 stars simply because whenever I am in town, if I…read morecan't get in there I know I'm missing something. This is a thrift shop but does not carry furniture or large items. Most of the store is women's clothing in all sizes from Petite to Plus. There are small children's and men's clothing areas. There are also children's toys, books, purses, jewelry, shoes and some accessories. There are also several small areas with linens, collectibles, small appliances and kitchen wares. One negative is a Keurig I purchased with a tag that it works, but it didn't. It turned on but that was it. I imagine they checked it came on and assumed someone would not donate a non working item. But I paid $15 and consider it a donation to their charitable contributions. OK so the clothes are pretty much exclusively in very good condition or new. They do mark up designer brands and new items with tags. I paid $25 for a Michael Kors dress with tags, and $8 for a new child's outfit. They have easily accessed dressing rooms and a speedy check out process. They offer a frequent buyer card with $10 off when filled. The store is crowded but very well organized. Clothes are hung by type, size and color. So if I am looking for a white long sleeved shirt size small, they are all hung in one place. One positive/negative is their amazing store window displays. They decorate the windows seasonally with the best of what is donated. It is incredibly enticing to see all the wonderful items that might be available inside. The catch is that NOTHING in the window is available for purchase until after the season is over. The Christmas windows items will be available January 9th at 10 am with the line forming early. So if something you have been wanting appears in that window display you will need to be on hand at a very specific date and time, like an estate sale or auction. Because I don't even live in the area, I pretty much don't even look at the windows since I can't buy anything there. I see from other reviews the store windows cause lots of angst for shoppers and for staff apparently. But since I know the deal I just accept it. One review from 2019 talks about a children's play area. I have been shopping here 10 years at least, and there is no children's play area. There is an area of toys for sale. When I was in last week 3 small children were tearing up the toys in there and screaming into a Frozen karaoke machine. When they put it down for a minute I scooped it up and bought it for my granddaughter. Yes, it is an alcove but every toy, book and game is priced so obviously for sale. Who in the world leaves a 2 and 4 year old unsupervised in a thrift shop toy sales area? So consider that if you read it below and wondered about it.

Having been to their old store which featured mostly furniture and books this newly opened version…read morein a completely new building is quite impressive. Not only do they still feature furniture but now they sell clothing and housewares as well. Please refer to my photos of all the different departments and example of merchandise. The inside is bright and spotless. The isles wide and the departments separated. All the merchandise was organized and displayed very well. The dishes and glassware shined like it had all been freshly washed. I dare you to find a spec of dust in this place. The employees or volunteers that work here take pride in their store and sorting process and it shows. Everything was in remarkable shape and fairly priced. Many items were only .50! Two things that prevented me giving them a 5 star review - the ladies clothing felt matronly and not current, although organized very well and all of decent quality. Some of it was new with tags and had more than one like it was donated by a local retailer or manufacturer. Secondly with Halloween only a few weeks away it was surprising (especially given their abundance of Christmas decor items) that there were no Halloween displays or merchandise other than a small selection of costumes (literally less than a round rack worth). I don't know if it's a religious thing since this is a Christian based organization but do feel like they should have offered more. Wish they were closer but it looks like I'll have to make trips to Ephrata more often.

Instead of "women" and "men", racks are labeled "femme presenting" and "masculine presenting". They have a good sized inventory for a small store, and everything was in great condition.

The staff are very welcoming, friendly and supportive without being overwhelming. I think it's a great addition to downtown Lancaster, and Im looking forward to visiting again soon.

It was a…read morelucky find because we were shopping for larger pants for hubby as had been engorging himself with Christmas cookies. We scored a pair of Lands End for $4 that were like new in his larger size. It was a great deal. The building itself looks like it could have been an old schoolhouse at one time with additions added. You walk in and up the steps to the sales floor which was decorated beautifully for the holiday. Overall the store is on the small side for a thrift store but they did have all the departments. Shoes were limited, as were clothing but they were also very selective in their sorting process. While I found the ladies section to be a bit dowdy, that's to be expected given the rural location and the majority of the residents belonging to the Plain community. The staff were friendly and helpful. The prices were low to fair for most items but I did feel like children's clothing was a tad high. Displays were impeccable. They even have a large craft/fabric section in the back, larger than most stores. Because they are a religious based organization their hours are limited and no Sunday sales. I'd recommend and will come back.

You can find plenty of vintage items, fun toys, cool memorabilia, and odds-and-ends for not much money, which is great.
