Hello Everyone:…read more This review is for Puppy Luv Thrift Store, 7171 E Cave Creek, Suite P (Mariachi Plaza), shopping center at the corner of Cave Creek Road and Tom Darlington. They are a 501c(3) organization that supports Puppy Luv Animal Rescue. This is a small Flea Market Store, but with some goodies here and there if you have time to look. The staff is very pleasant. Things are organized by what it is (seasonal, clothing, kitchen, glassware, etcetera) so it is easy to go in to the area if you are looking for something specific. There is a good variety of items, hence the name "Flea Market Store". The only reason I gave it a four stars instead of five was because many of the clothing items I took off the rack to consider for purchase had holes or items missing on them. I feel items which are torn, missing buttons, defective, or otherwise need a fairly decent repair would benefit from being on a separate rack labeled as such at a reduced price. I realize sometimes a missing button or something can be missed, but I came across items which were fairly obvious defects without much looking. Otherwise, I found it worth a walk through a couple times a year if you feel like wanting to shop in an environment of used and/or donated items.

I was in the mood for a little retail therapy, but this place killed the vibe in a hurry. I encountered two employees who only offered scowls. Those are apparently free of charge. I was the only prospective customer there - you'd think they would've been happy to see a happy shopper. Nope. It was very bad energy. The merchandise is tired and pricey. There's a lot of clothing/shoes, some house decor and a little furniture. Even if the employees had been the least bit welcoming, I couldn't envision paying high dollar for mundane, uninteresting, used items. You've been warned. There are better consignment shops out there.
