I had such a great time at The Shoppes at Royall! The selection was extensive and thoughtfully…read morecurated--there was truly something for everyone. Each booth was clean, well-organized, and fun to explore. The entire space felt inviting, and the staff were incredibly sweet and helpful. You can tell they take pride in the store and care about the customer experience. I'll definitely be back soon--this is a must-visit spot if you love antiques or just enjoy a good treasure hunt! I also feel like the prices were not too high and they often do events with discounts on booths.

This store is such a hidden gem! Really nice things that are well curated and at a fair price and…read morethe owner and her mum were super friendly. When I stopped in they had a good assortment of side tables, lamps, porcelain dishes and vases, lots of Norman Rockwell water glasses and paintings, British snacks and teas, jewelry, and vintage clothing. I would go out of my way to visit this shop knowing the owner has a good eye for interesting and unique items. Highly recommend a visit!

They have a large variety of clothes from high dollar brands and the pricing is so fun- Everything is marked with an initial price and then after each month it is unsold goes down about 20% with the lower price also there on the tag. I found myself wishing I could move forward in time to get even better deals. There is also a large kid's section and a decent men's section which is unusual to find.

I'm so in love with this place. Every so often the prices are marked lower and lower. If you see something you like GET IT! It may not be there the next time!

So unorganized... and why would they price shoes at $47 freaking dollars? 2 pairs of Nikes both…read morepriced at $47 each... yes, decent shape but you can get a new pair at the Nike Outlet for about that ......The main manager has always been rude... . There was a certain electronic piece of equipment I was interested in, but of course they don't know if it works and it didn't have a charger. I know the ridiculous no-return policy but I asked one of the managers if I could get a better deal because they couldn't tell me if it really worked. This was about 15 minutes after I heard another customer ask about a discount and she gladly gave him one, saying, "I'm going to need your friend today", but when she came to the resgister for my request, all of the sudden is , "we don't do discounts". I told her that I just heard her give another customer a discount and she became very defensive saying "that was a different situation ". So then, why LIE to my face. And lastly.. FIX YOUR AC gotta be 85 degrees in there , people walking around just sweating in there! ... if you're selling used shoes for $50 then you should have plenty of $ to make your customers comfortable I have lived all over being a military wife.... never seen this "bin" system. Other states' Goodwills that I have shopped at are organized, have a return policy, have at least 1 day out of the week for military discounts (also days tor senior citzens and teachers discounts), and treat all their customers well... wth wrong with this one. I would highly recommend donating your items to the Fordham House where people can get things they need for free. I just donated 3 large bags to them

I visit goodwill stores regularly but I have found the GCF in Kinston and Goldsboro have very old…read moreclothes and hardly any new like pieces. I don't believe it's because the donations are slow, I think it's because they don't have a rotation system of clothing with price decreases. Other Goodwills use color tags and eventually the clothing rotates to 1/2 price. That way the clothes are always rotating. If there is a blouse that is $4 today even if the blouse is 20 years old, it will eventually leave the store because the buyer will not mind paying half price for a 20 year old top. However, because GCF prices are static (not reduced), the old clothes remain longer, eventually offering an old smell to the store and the rest is history. A top that is 25 years old will cost $3.99 and a top that is newer will cost the same. The older tops "will remain" the longest unless vintage clients shop more. The GCF management decision makers aren't marketeers apparently but may be stuck in the 70s market strategies. However, it is learned from many stores who listened to paradigms ( an example or pattern, a model) fail to fall into the pattern of disaster or collapse. However,Sears, fell into collapse. They continue to have clothing for one market(older crowd) which eventually was replaced with online shopping but the young crowd was still shopping. When younger people saw the clothing they went elsewhere. The patten is sell to the customers not sell "FOR " the customers. GCF sells beat up shoes,tattered handbags, the men's suits are ancient and the shelves are full of junk knickknacks. Like Sears, they think people will continue to buy clothes sitting on their racks for months upon months. There is a worldview of methodologies how thrift stores thrive and are successful. It would behoove GCF to review some of these systems. I will continue to find thrift stores that relinquished old and smelly clothing to the trash or discount them. I have even heard of stores having complete 1/2 price days just to get rid of static old items.. I am sure quilters would love that day..

Since then I have…read morebecome a vendor of the store in good faith and took in many lovely and quite a few new items for resale. I am now confirming that the owner, Jo Crawford, Sole Proprietor ( who is not registered as a business with the BBB ) is an absolute thief !!. Her scheme is to take in lovely things, sell them and then NOT pay the vendors their share of the profits. I guess she is taking the monies and putting them up the behind of that rabbit. If you are ever considering doing business with this establishment, RUN FAST in the OTHER DIRECTION and don't stop until you are far away from this store. Jo Crawford, be mindful that the dynamics of the vendor has changed and you WILL NOT PROSPER as a result of your dishonesty.
