I've driven by Pinky's Place many times but never stopped in until recently. I won't lie, antique…read moreplaces usually give me anxiety because so often it just seems like a bunch of junk thrown into a warehouse. This is not the vibe at Pinky's Place! Each booth I saw was curated nicely and very easy to look at and browse. I didn't feel overwhelmed at all, even though it is a bit of a labyrinth inside (not nearly as huge as some other larger antique warehouses in the area though). In the main entrance area there is a checkout as well as several canned/jarred food items for sale - we saw a lot of honey, salad dressings, canned/pickled veggies, etc. From there we wandered around and just kind of explored. I loved the felt food booth - so cute! This is definitely a place to find great gifts. I took some photos of the American Girl doll sized clothes for friends - the Lions gear was the best. The "artisan" market part means there are handmade items for sale as well as antiques, so it's definitely a mix of stuff. I will say I didn't notice much in the way of vintage clothing. Books, toys, memorabilia, housewares, records, jewelry, etc. If you like antiquing and hunting for treasures, definitely add Pinky's Place to your list!

Not huge and overwhelming, and not a tiny, quick stop either. Plan to spend a good forty five minutes to and hour really looking around, maybe less if you're on a mission.

There is a decent size parking lot outside, and a very simple store front but when you walk into the blue sea and smiling staff welcome you. There are bathrooms throughout the facility that are well stocked, clean and taken care of. The selection of items varies as every thrift store does. You will definitely walk away with something when you stop here. Today is Wednesday and although the site says 6pm they are open until 8pm. They take cash, and credit cards for purchased and will hold items as needed to allow you to continue to shop. This place also offers for purchase water, pop (soda), Pringles, assortment of candies and snacks to keep you going because when you get here you will be here for a while. I felt very comfortable being here, walking amoung the items and I teracting with the staff. Highly recommend.

People working there weren't particularly friendly.

I visited because, even though my decor style doesn't lean towards contemporary, I'd heard that the store had great pieces for any style.

I bought several items and I know I'll be back! Shopping local is important to me and I'm thrilled to find a terrific option for items for my home as well as a good place to find some nice gifts.

This was one of the true antiques malls left, with all antiques, no junk. As we walked around the upstairs, a woman/dealer was hanging up junky modern stuff and looked like she had two booths.

One of my favorite Goodwill stores, I go there very often, and enjoy the vibes there…read more Advice: Go into this store with an open mind, you may not find exactly what you are looking for, but I promise you that you will find something you would like if you just look! Pros: A very easy to understand layout (Men's and Children's clothing on the left, Women's seasonal clothing in the middle, and women's clothing on the right). They are very good at stocking for the seasons. Great selection of home supplies, decor, and electronics. Very good selection of records, CDS, and DVDs. Clean store. Very nice and helpful staff members, they are very willing to help answer questions, and if they are unaware of an answer, they are not afraid of asking their manager without needing to ask them. There are always new items coming out during the day. Great pricing The pricing: (Applicable as of 2026) The clothing is priced using solid universal prices (e.g. Men's pullovers: $7.99), and they are clearly labelled on the ends of each rack. Electronics are well priced ranging from ~$4.99 - ~$7.99 for keyboards, radios, alarm clocks, phone cases, boomboxes, and CD Players. For Speakers, you should expect to pay ~$7.99 - $10.99 for desk speakers, and ~$40 and up for stereo system speakers and higher end/vintage systems. AMAZING PRICES FOR PHYSICAL MEDIA! A part that could go either way: There is a very fast turnover for items in this store, which is both positive, as if you don't find anything one day, there is a very good chance if you come back the next day you will find something; however, it is also negative if you leave something to think about if you want it. For me, it is a positive because I enjoy going thrifting very often. A minor con for me: There are usually a bunch of resellers, which makes me feel queasy, as thrifting (at least in my opinion) should not be a for-profit project for people who otherwise wouldn't thrift if it wasn't giving them money for flipping the items.
