Located in an extremely safe section of town, TurnStyles Thrift store is available to service all…read moreof your second-hand market needs. The parking is extremely wide open with plenty of "elbow room". That said, the staff friendly and most of the patrons were very nice. Please note Thrift stores are very hit or miss so going from week to week can result in a highly different experience. I'll be the first to admit, all thrift stores have a funky smell to them and I found TurnStyles to be no different; nothing to the point of unbearable but it lingers for the duration of the visit. Now in terms of being what do they offer, well pretty much everything and anything. Furniture, clothing, toys, books, CDs/DVDs, cookware, you name it. I found the kitchen section in terms of pots, pans, mixers and things of that nature to be very sparse while their main attraction was clothing. Towards the back, one can find a small furniture section with some decent to horrible offerings. I liked some of the books they had and was extremely tempted to pick something up since I found many that perked my interest. Their music selection had me laughing as I noticed a couple odd bands from the 80s, 90s and beyond which I don't think anyone would buy. Color Me Bad anyone? I don't recall seeing much for motorized lawn equipment but I was in and out relatively quickly. As for my purchasing, I found a couple of very cool items! I bought a 7 foot ficus tree which I've had for a long time. But what I really like is I bought this Greek inspired side head sculpt that I absolutely adore and it gets many compliments from my guests. Also there's a Greek inspired plate and candle holders which I think adds interest to my living room. Finally, I've also bought some quality kitchen items for my kids which saved me a ton of money. There are a few other knickknacks but you get the jist. Overall, thrift stores have a very particular clientele and subculture. I'm pretty sure if you're reading this you know how things go, so I'm not going to try and upsell you, rather give you the thumbs up to come on by and see what they got. It's safe and the people are nice while have a very large floorspace open to many different reasonably priced objects.

I really enjoyed Turnstyles. As an avid thrifter, I'm always looking for a great place…read more I'll start with the positives. I think the quality of the merchandise is a solid 8.5 out of 10. Maybe even a 9. I did see a few items that were pretty worn but the prices were good. I didn't t understand what the colors meant with some being a percentage off. I got done really cute items but admit those were at regular price. Still, I don't think I paid more than $15 for a single item with many bring in the $8-$10 range. I did wind up with a couple in the $4-$5 being discounted, I got a cute coat in pristine condition for $12. I learned upon checking out that I unknowingly was there on the day they put out new merchandise. After a small non positive encounter, I really enjoyed my experience with the employees and really appreciated the info they shared with me and taking the time to explain how the discounts work, sales days, and signing me up for the rewards program. The store is relatively small which limits the selection but the selection is very good considering the size of the store. The quality available is also good. I did catch a couple of harder to see flaws in a couple of garments that made it to the floor but the prices were quite reasonable if you decided to buy and fix it. One garment I don't think was fixable and would need to be bought with the acceptance that the faux leather was peeling and would continue to do so. Just like with any thrift store, look at the garment for any flaws. Still the selection and prices were far better than many thrift stores I've been to and shopped. The second con was they seemed understaffed or maybe the staff that was there seemed inattentive at times. I have mixed feelings. Maybe they had a long day. I had a decent amount in my cart and went to the registers. 2 were open. One person was finishing up ringing up a customer. The other had just started ringing up someone with a huge amount of items in their cart. When the one cashier finished ringing up the person, they walked away from the register. But they stopped behind the counter where they chatted with 2 other people standing behind the counter. I saw 2 other people on the floor (maybe more but at least 2) making a total of at least 6 employees in the store and only one person ringing up customers. I asked if they planned to open another register realizing it would be at least 30 minutes before I would get to check out with me just standing there waiting. I felt like I had to push a bit but finally the person went back over to their register to open it up. Shortly after, 2 more customers were already in line. I will note that once the person opened back up, I started a very nice dialogue with them and they were helpful in getting me signed up to the rewards program and telling me all about certain days being special sales days. It ended on a very good note. They have 1 dressing room. Yikes. There was a line most of the time and I felt very rushed because I knew people were waiting on me to get in. I liked the merchandise, the quality and price along with having a lot of sales opportunities and a rewards program enough that I will definitely return and would recommend others give them a try if you are a thrifter.

This is NOT and upscale/antique goldmine. It is a place that you might find something you didn't expect... as all thrift shops are. Prices? Generally high/very high on clothes. I go thru there books and oddities and baskets. This is what I don't find in most thrift shops- friendly people. The ladies at the register actually are really nice and can be very helpful about items inside the store. This store raises money for special needs programs. Donating here isn't fun but I like supporting companies who really help others. Don't expect a Thank You when donating. Just know that if rough times happen - it is stores like this that help. So if you are in the area, consider donating here. It's worth a quick 10 min stroll. Oh, if you spend $15 (I think), you can get a free item.. so I get a stuffed animal for my dog to chew on.

Staff is very immature, can be downright rude and tacky and another time be respectful and courteous. But the one thing that just really ticks me off is the fact that they want your clothes to be clean, in good condition and folded but if you're left with anything they won't take, they wad the item up and are in a heap in the bag like they mean for it to look like a trash bag! I prepare all my things for observation with care and its so disrespectful. I'm not saying only once, its everytime. Second hand store or not, they could show a bit more class.

I rolled in with over a dozen pair of jeans--including two never-worn, high-end designer divas that had been haunting the "maybe someday" section of my closet. You know the ones: too expensive to wear, too guilty to toss. At this point, they were basically emotional support denim. Fifteen minutes later, I walked out with cold hard cash. Real, actual Andrew Jacksons. No paperwork. No judgment. No shady consignment vibes. Just: "Thanks, here's your money." Boom. Done. Easiest hustle I've ever pulled. They even offered me 10% more in store credit--and yeah, I considered it. There were some fire pieces that almost had me breaking my own rules. But let's be real: my closet is already a crime scene. The mission was purge, not relapse. Bottom line? If your closet's bursting with regrets and "what was I thinking" buys, ATC is your no-BS exit strategy. Cool staff, smooth process, no pressure. I'll be back--after I survive round two of the great denim exorcism.
