My review is based on their "business" practices and interactions with Janet Llerandi Gonzalez, the…read morebusiness manager. I've rented space all over town and I've never felt so immediately bullied by anyone I've dealt with. Back in the fall I inquired about possibly renting event space -- turns out the inquiry form IS THE RENTAL AGREEMENT -- something I've never experienced. No offer to show me the space, to attempt to speak to me, just interest in gathering information = you've committed to pay for the space. Janet contacted me today, fewer then 10 days before dates I was interested in, to say that the balance is due + 50% fee for late cancellation. This isn't any way to conduct "business" and I in no way recommend renting their space.

I cannot say enough good things about COVO and the team, the work they do and the impact that they…read morehave on the community at large. In my time with the Red Cross I was blessed to get to know COVO a bit and had a deep appreciation for the care they put into the community and our veterans. Serving those who have served is something that I feel is of the utmost importance and something everyone should take part in. COVO offers outreach where they help supply food and clothing to veterans in need as well as housing services to provide shelter where they can. You can donate both food and clothing to COVO as well as fiscal donations, I encourage you to do one or the other. Your resources will not be wasted here as they are as fiscally responsible an outfit as I have seen. You can also volunteer and I encourage you to do so. Give back to the ones who gave, our veterans deserve that.

She was overseeing the dressing room and my lord I pray I never have to see this person again. She was inappropriate and so beyond rude to me and my daughter. I talked to the manager and they weren't surprised.."I'm so sorry, I honestly hear this all the time..she really should retire", I pray for this poor managers sake and all of the people of Bend, Oregon that this woman leaves. I definitely won't be going back.

There were a couple of nice pairs of Toms and Sperry boots for $19.99 or less, but none in my size. Had our SUV rental not been fully packed I would've taken home the vintage outdoor patio teacart for $13, a steal really, with matching chairs at $9 each. I found the shelves to be more baren than most other 'Superstores'. Unfortunate, and it makes me wonder if GW is redistributing the good stuff to boutique stores to increase their profit margin vs making quality resale available to those in need.

With safe and clean housing, and also accountability for sober living, I have witnessed people get safety. Food. Shelter. And jobs. There is someone in your life that is one paycheck away from homelessness. And they don't want to impose on you. Do you have excess warm clothing? Canned food? Sleeping bags? Or, clothes to wear to a job interview? And have you ever had to ask for it? I have worked with shelters in Louisiana, Florida, Portland, Baker City, and Bend. Socks to sleeping bags. It is humbling. This particular transitional housing and food and clothing shelter is so overwhelmingly kind. The Bethlehem Inn is everything we want in order to give a hand up; not a hand out.

We have businesses where we second hand as much as possible with regular turnover (we do not sell the products, we use them). In the past we spent so much at this store that one time the person ringing us up commented about it. They saw something in the system (connected to our phone number) about our total spent YTD and their eyes got wide, so we explained what we do for our business and that what they could see was just for their location. What I am saying is... we have a pulse on what is a good and fair price for these sort of things. I looked at a couch not to long ago at this location. It was half off. The price was still, with the discount, over $1600. When you pay 0% for your inventory you should not be charging consignment prices. Full stop. It is a poor business choice. The idea is to turn over the inventory because more is coming while passing on a lovely savings to your customers. Not hang on to it while it collects dust because you've out priced the new items being manufactured. Know your customer base and price accordingly. We have left empty handed from this store every single visit this year (2026) because the prices have skyrocketed. For reference, we were looking for a washer and dryer...found one brand new at Lowe's cheaper than this Restore had (used no less). That is why I am writing this review. If the free inventory you receive is higher priced than the brand new inventory from the original store...well...here's your sign. So, we will likely have to drop this store from our rotation because time is precious and we cannot waste trips when we could find a better resource to take its place. That's just how it goes, I guess, but it saddens us because we like to support good causes and keep things out of the dump.

So instead, I drove across the street to Goodwill, where they took it without complaint. You need to let people know these things! I love your mission, and wanted you to have my things, but didn't like the attitude of the person accepting donations. "It's the rule." No apologies for my inconvenience.
