They have a bunch of stuff like shoes, purses, hats and random life stuff! The pricing isn't too bad and on Saturdays you get 25% off! Wish they had a bigger area to accommodate more donations! read more

Extremely expensive for a thrift store that says they are for the community! How on possible earth can someone that is on a fixed income afford to buy a dish let alone clothing items or furniture to start a new beginning read more

Prices are high and selection is slim. They could be making so much more money with better pricing and more culling of merchandise. $25 for broken homemade clock that is missing a number? read more

Gracie's Thrift Store - Overpriced ($25) broken clock. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My sister and I popped by Gracie's Thrift Store for the first time last week. This shop had a nice variety of clothing, shoes, accessories, and even furniture. I found the pricing to be very reasonable on the items that I purchased. In addition, they offered various discounts for students, veterans, etc. The cashiers were super friendly as well. This was a great experience! It always feels good supporting a mission like this too! read more

I donated some large furniture items to the shop. The service was outstanding. The scheduling of the pickup was easy. I was kept informed as to the day and arrival time. The two movers that came for the pickup were excellent!! Both knew how to handle the items with care. Do not hesitate to donate to this worthy organization. Thank you, Gracie, for a job well done. read more

Some of the prices seemed a bit high for certain items while others were more than fair. They had a great selection of items and it was VERY clean for a thrift store. read more

My daughter has surpassed my love of thrifting so I knew we had to visit this Yelp darling while in Tempe. The store may be compact in comparison to the chain thrift stores but it is much cleaner and more organized. My daughter found some fun graphic tees(Golden Girls, The Beatles, two of our faves) and a cute skirt. I found another book to add to my massive TBR collection. The staff is friendly. read more

Gracie's Thrift Store - Storefront - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I'm really sad to see this place change so much. I used to adore coming here religiously!!! They have over marked everything room away the beautiful vintage books and feel. The furniture is priced at Amazon prices.... Whoever took over needs to be fired they have done this place dirty. And adding a random shop inside the vintage store is weird. I would spend 100's in here but now i won't spend a dime. Please bring back the cute little old ladies who would be so mindful and really appreciate customers and the value of donated items. read more

This thrift store is very clean with some good finds. They have a brand new building that I've never been to in over 10 years. The staff is very helpful, the items for sale are interesting and unique. They didn't have any sales going on the day I went in, and I found too much. I haven't been thrift store shopping in a long time, and this was a great place to begin again. I'll be back soon. read more

This place is great not only do they have nice quality items their prices are terrific. I always start here when having a retail therapy day. The staff is even more amazing then the treasures you can find there. read more

I enjoyed finding this place, located in an unexpected place. Saw it and decided to stop in. There is so much to look at and check out, and decently priced, I'll definitely be back to see what other goods I can find. Adding to my thrift routine. read more

This review is regarding the exceptional customer service, from employee/Manager, Kari. I have been donating items to Gracie's Cottage for years. Ever since they were located at their old location on Apache. Yesterday I donated a basket of items. I didn't realize that I had placed my cell phone in that basket. When I realized what had happened it was hours later. I contacted Kari. I told her my phone is showing that it is some where in Gracie's Cottage. She went above and beyond to help me find my phone. I can't say enough about her and her kindness. She is definitely an Angel in disguise. She also deserves a huge raise. I can tell she is genuinely kind to everyone. God Bless you Kari. Your kindness was greatly appreciated and never will be forgotten . read more

We went in for their relaunch and loved it. The place is open and inviting, the prices are great, and so many solid finds. Check them out, even if you've been before! Their new setup is so thoughtful. read more

Every time I go here i leave with something that I consider valuable. The prices are fair and they have 25% off of everything on Saturdays. The people here are always so helpful, and there is even an older man that will talk and joke with you from the time you come in to the time you leave, if you let him. read more

So cute and so big! They have everything. The pictures don't do it justice, definitely check this place out if you're into vintage things.' read more

Gracie's Thrift Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I have shopped at many thrift stores and always have found Gracie's to be the best. The merchandise is clean and priced to sell. The few full time paid employees (they have many volunteers) are all knowledgeable, kind, and professional. Best of all, as a ministry, their profits go back into the community and not into their pockets. In addition, Gracie's has several special programs to assist the underserved of our community. A real gem on Apache Boulevard. read more

I love Gracie's Thrift Store. It is such a positive and clean environment. The people there genuinely care about their customers. It always makes me feel good to know that when I am shopping at Gracie's I am supporting the homeless at the same time. read more

Found so many great things! They have furniture and I love the dishes and houseware isles!

I have gone by this place quite a few times since riding the light rail. Its a small independent thrift store, which is partially what drew me in. Like Rhonda said in her review, its not huge like the goodwills, or savers for that matter. Much smaller in size, but you still have that eclectic selection of items to choose from...clothing, furniture, books, knick knacks and everything else you would expect to find at a place like this. I did not buy anything here this time around, but would probably return to shop and/or donate items. The only upsetting thing is that they are closed on Sundays! read more

I'd been meaning to get into Gracie's for some time, due to their great reviews. I made it in for the first time yesterday. This is now my favorite store! The selection was great and the prices were the best I've seen in a while. I bought a couple of books that still had Goodwill stickers on them and Goodwill had them priced at more than twice of Gracie's price. Gracie and staff were so friendly too. Highly recommend! read more

Staying in Mesa, love second hand stores Gracie's is a large location. Prices were reasonable. I look for puzzles and the price here was $3. Lots of goodies to look at. read more

Don't go for clothing if you're hoping to try anything on. No fitting rooms and clothes are final sale. I asked if there was an intention to open them back up and I was told no they're closed due to theft when I said that was crazy they were final sale with nowhere to try on they said "I don't think that stops anyone." You don't? Bc it stopped me. I would have bought a lot more had i been able to ensure that used clothing fit me. Clothes at thrift stores don't fit as they did when they were first purchased. What if the clothes have had previous alterations, have loose waistbands from wear/washing, or shrunk bc they were incorrectly cared for? The restroom and fitting rooms are closed bc of theft... You would think there would be more empathy with this being a "church organization" considering ALL of their products being free/donated to them and considering it's a religious org they pay no taxes lmfao. I don't expect much less from the church though lol. People don't steal for fun or bc they're bored. People steal bc they can't afford necessities. Trust me ppl will still steal Furniture is decently priced I guess. read more

Not a local but wanted to go thrift shopping and Gracie's Thrift Store was just the place I was looking for. Everyone was very polite to the customers including me. Found a very cute and small vintage purse here, would definitely recommend for good finds. read more

Found a few unique baskets to add to my boho vibe. I'll definitely be hoping back often.

Staff is phenomenal, and they do so much for the community. If you know someone who needs help with clothes trust me and go here.

NO FITTING ROOMS OR RETURNS. They had a decent collection of goods, and the staff was very nice, but they offered no returns and their changing rooms were closed, so if you purchase an item and it doesn't end up fitting/working, then you are left with no options. read more

This Thrift Store reminds me of HOW Thrift Stores used to be...cheap and full of random findings (before Savers and other various Thrift stores that are overpriced!) You never know what treasures you'll find. They have really great prices too! I found an Ann Taylor cardigan for $3.00! No PUBLIC RESTROOMS...so if you just chugged down a Venti Latte from Starbucks, you better hold it or find a potty across the street. read more

I love this little thrift store! They have a great selection of books, clothes, furniture and kitchenware! They don't have many shoes, video games or electronics(obviously not their fault since they rely on donations). The prices here are so much more reasonable than the big box thrift stores! The employees are so kind and always willing to help with anything! If you are in the area give this place a shot and stop in! Also, don't forget to donate here as well! read more

I like this thrift store because it reminds me of the stores back east where I grew up. Back east the thrift stores are not all clean and pretty like Savers or the giant Goodwills here in AZ. This place also doesn't have as high of prices as the clean and organized stores so you are more apt to find a bargain here. Gracie's is in an older building along Apache that always seems to have some water leaking and doesn't pipe in scents through the air system to mask the fact that you are buying someone else's old stuff. (I just realized that Goodwill does fragrance the air with cinnamon, I thought I was losing my mind until I noticed it in three separate Goodwills in the valley.) They always have a lot of nice clothing, housewares and a lot of books. I was in there recently and there seemed to be a lot less inventory so I don't know if they were just slow on donations or maybe clearing out to possibly renovate. Getting to the place has been a nightmare recently because of the light rail construction so if you know your Tempe streets I would suggest coming in from the neighborhood behind the store, not off of Apache. Gracie's is affiliated with Grace Community Church in Tempe and does have some religious literature near the front counter and has an abundance of Christian books for sale on their shelves. read more

A nice change of pace from Goodwill, my usual thrifting go-to. I love the new building and am so impressed by the construction. It makes the whole area look much nicer and mixed-use construction is a smarter way to build cities. The interior of Gracie's is clean and organized, but the selection is much smaller than other thrift stores I've visited. High quality items and reasonable prices, with occasional sales that make everything even cheaper. Last time I was here, I found an amazing vintage fur shawl that was made in Phoenix. There was even a movie ticket in the pocket from the 50s! read more

Gracie's isn't closed They relocated a SMIDGE west (literally)...right by the Food City on Apache between Mclintock and Rural. I heard that this location is temporary. They are establishing a larger thrift store location- but that could just be a rumor or something that I imagined. This place is great! Cheap clothes read more

I got my favorite aqua blue armchair, with original upholstey AND working (well, I might add) caster wheels for a screaming 25 dollars. I also got my first book of music there when I was learning to play as a kid, paid 25 cents andstill might be able to eek out the Mash theme song, the Star Wars Theme Song, I'd Do Anything for Love (but I won't do that). I've never personally purchased clothing here. They have a soda machine, which I like in a thrift store. You just never know what's in there (besides religious music). Also a reportedly ok place to serve community service sentences, if you own a walkman! read more

I loved this store. I came here every week growing up and when I came back to visit Arizona after a year or so, my heart was broken. I believe Gracie's is closed now and they're building condos in the area. EDIT: Gracie's has moved to the plaza over right next door to Food City. The old location is being built into low-income apartments with Gracie's future location on the first floor. read more

Okay despite everyone's glowing reviews this place is absurd!! The woman working the register Shari was not only rude but condescending to boot. I bought a blender for $15 (not even a high-end blender I'm talking a Hamilton Beach number) and when I got to my car I saw the lid was cracked but it had been taped together. The tag on the appliance said "tested works great perfect condition", & I figured in a Christian thrift shop you could trust this to be true. When I showed the defect to Shari she smugly told me it was unfortunate and there was nothing she could do. PS when they have 50% off items you get to choose whether you want 50% off a single item or to be questioned whether or not the coupon you have downloaded from their website is valid?!?!! I strongly urge you to spend your money at a "Christian" thrift store that actually practices Christian values..... amen! read more

New location literally across the street in a new building right across from Haji Baba's. They are still setting up inside so they do not have a huge selection, but everything was well organized. This place reminds me more of the old school thrift stores, and not the glossy Goodwills of today. If you are looking for genuine vintage finds to DIY or just to have in your home, this is the place to stop. Customer service was almost absent though, but I suppose that will pick up once they start doing more business. There was literally no one in the store when I went, and I think only one or two people came in while I was there. They have plenty of craft items, porcelain dolls, and books. They have several isles of books. read more

I like this thrift store because it is a REAL thrift store. I don't like this thrift store chain action that Savers is marketing, so it's nice to Yelp a thrift store and have a legit one show up. My boyfriend and I collect jars for sand we've collected on beaches through our life, and Gracie's did not disappoint! It's a huge shop with a large selection, including furniture. Everything is very well organized, and there are tons of treasures to discover! read more

Wow they have a section for maternity stuff!!! Wow, and thier sales 50% of certain items. Make sure to pick up a flyer so you can schedule your shopping sprees around thier discounts. read more
