I love thrifting there! The staff are helping and polite. You have to do a lot of digging but can find some really neat stuff!

Fraud under the name of charity. Get your act together GATEWAY TO HELL. You could get a SCALE or two in that bargain center and start WEIGHING and selling things by the pound 1.99, like the goodwill bins on Center street in Ridgeland, and make it fair to all that shop here instead of a few select CHOSEN regular people that constantly get deals, you can see them slow walking to the counter after everyone is gone... or waiting on the side to get a deal, people aren't stupid, this is basic math, you can't shop here everyday if you are not getting deep deals on items. MAKE IT FAIR FOR EVERYONE. Without Quincy, Steve, Tasha and the nice lady that answers the phone in the office you wouldn't have a business because the cashiers would kill off your business in less than 30 days. The Lord has blesses you with free stuff to help the people and BE A BLESSING TO THE COMMUNITY. You are not a retail store, you are a bargain store... but your junk is HIGHER THAN RETAIL. Most charity thrift shops are 501C tax exempt taking in free donations. If ROSS, WALMART & DOLLAR TREE sell vases from 1.25 and up, why would you sell vases used, out of the trash boxes in the back at $5 and up? Nobody shops here for retail prices. You would make more money consistently by doing buggy or bundle sales, offering 20 items for $30, 30 items for $40 you would move the stuff out of your junk store faster that way then trying to rob the people at the register with high prices. There are many resellers in this state that shop stores like this to get cheap merchandise to supplement their income, or local artist like myself looking for things to redo or recycle... I'm not looking for expensive TRASH to make art with. The thrift store a half a mile away have prices posted and sell all clothing items under $5, lamps under $6 shoes $4, books .50, while you gouge. A few of the ladies that work the register are rude and they get pleasure out of quoting ridiculous prices for junk. But they are stabbing your business to it's death. A woman tried to charge me $10 for a sweater and $7 for some cup saucers, I told her to keep the stuff. What she was trying to charge me for a few things others get for a whole cart. BUT WHEN I CHECKED THE BILL ON THE ITEMS THAT I DID GET - SHE HAD OVERCHARGED ME $5 - I have been over charged several times in this place - what she stole from me she actually stole from the LORD who gave it to me, the LORD rebuke her. Another time I was there I had 3 thin paperback children's books and I was charged $1 a book, it should have been 3 for $1. THIS IS SHAMEFUL. May the Lord turn the tables over on this place. I pray that you will stop price gouging and ripping people off in the name of charity. read more

The people are helpful and so nice. I've found good items. The guys are always careful and load it up for me

Good place to find quality items that you don't want to spend a fortune on. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I agree with the Stacy J review on everything about this place but one. The Ridgeland store closed probably simply cuz they didn't have enuff business. But they had some decent prices & very nice people working there. One employee even told me they had to shut down cuz the rent there was too high for what they brought in financially after I'd asked why they had to go. I had frequented this store many times and usually found some little something every time I went. Which is why I was very shocked when I went to their location on hwy 80. What a difference! Employees can only do as they're told but wow! at the rude management, prices too high for used stuff that's donated. May as well go to Walmart & buy new as to go in here. Have only been twice & didn't buy a thing! One employee there even shook his head in disbelief at a price I was quoted by management for a rug with an obvious rip in it. He knew it was too high but nothing he could do. Not wasting my time with this place anymore. read more

This store is over-crowed with stuff that won't sell because it either really is junk that no one wants or is priced too high for a thrift store that gets 100% commission. Quince the store manager has a habit of always pricing items too high. Several people from my church say the same thing. The older darker skinned lady that works the register is rude, and unknowledgeable on product pricing. This store does not have any organization to it. Things are all over the place, they price things according to the mood they are in. Barnum and Bailey run a better organization as this one. The Ridgeland location closed, probably because of the same reasons listed above. The rules of pricing are always changing without signs being posted for the customers to see. This location is a mess. New management, and cashiers are needed. Several people will no longer go to this thrift store. The owner needs to regulate this dump. read more
