I visited Shelter Ministries Thrift Shop today, and what a disaster. NOTHING had prices on it. I…read moreasked a volunteer about the prices, and she tried to help but said she wasn't sure because she was new. I understand being new, but items should absolutely be priced so customers don't have to guess. Another thing I noticed while looking around is how extremely small the shopping area is. The building itself is huge, and I know the entire layout because I've been there before it became a thrift store and food pantry. It's surprising that such a tiny portion is actually used for the store. Now let's talk about the pricing. Pants are $5.00 each -- for used pants. Shirts and pajamas are $3.00. Kids clothes are $3-$5 depending on what you pick. Socks are $1.00 a pair... for used socks! And then there are the used undergarments. VERY used underwear and bras are $3.00 EACH. Used. Most of them showed extreme wear. That's honestly shocking. The store itself is extremely disorganized. Nothing makes any sense and there is no clear system to how things are arranged. Items are placed everywhere with no rhyme or reason. It's so cramped and packed that only one person can comfortably shop in an area at a time. Another thing that really bothered me: while I was there, four volunteers were going through donated items and setting certain things off to the side that they were planning to take home. So if you donate to this thrift shop thinking everything will go back to the community, just know that some items appear to be getting picked through first. Overall, the place felt chaotic, overpriced for the condition of items, and poorly organized. It really needs better pricing, better organization, and much better use of the large space available.

I had never heard of Ollie's until I asked a friend where they got their extra wide pet gate and…read morethey gave me a heads up about Ollie's Bargain Outlet. I made it a point to stop here the next time I was in the area and I was not disappointed. When walking in I was reminded of the early days of Big Lots. A store that purchases a lot of buy outs, close outs, discontinues, off brands, and foreign imports. They honestly have a little bit of everything from groceries, housewares, clothes, books, toys, knick-nacks, pet supplies, automotive, home improvement, outdoor stuff, a little of this and a little more of that. The employees were helpful and knowledgable of where things were located. Not knowing where anything was, they could have used more overhead signage, I was able to find an employee quickly and he was able to direct me where I needed to go. Just after I found what I was looking for the employee showed up to make sure I found it. As my item was located in the back of the store I was able to get the lay of the land and the layout and organization did make sense. Still if an employee was not available overhead signage or a store map would make it easier for a customer to find what they were looking for. In general the store was clean, nothing was obstructing the aisles, and it appeared as if things were well stocked. Checkout was fast, friendly, and efficient.They have a loyalty program that I declined, but it may be beneficial to someone that shops here on a regular basis. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend shopping here if you see something they advertise you want, you get a referral as I did, or if you are looking to say a few bucks. I am very happy with my purchase, it had great value. The same manufacturer is sold on Amazon.com for $20-30.00 more depending on the seller who is offering it.

okay ill admit, this is a NICE ollies. they have so much stuff, super organized, and as usual,…read moreprices are great. but the fact that they aren't enforcing masks (even workers) makes me feel super uncomfortable. especially considering our cashier was talking to another cashier, who talked about how she just THREW UP and wanted to go home. and she wasnt wearing a mask. immediately i felt SUPER uncomfortable and didnt even want to touch my bags since she was the one that bagged them. PLEASE enforce masks. PLEASE follow the laws. Disgusting.

I drove down to Excel shoe store to check out a new shoe line called gravity defyer. When I got…read morethere it was a few minutes before closing. The owner waited on me and answered all my questions. He took the time and did not rush me out the door. I had to special order my shoes because they did not have the size I needed. I received my shoes by UPS exactly when he said they would come in. I have been telling all my co workers about this brand of shoes and where to get them cheaper than online. The owner is the nicest guy I have ever met. He called me to make sure I received the shoes and to make sure I was happy with my purchase. I do not know of any store owner ever doing business like that. I will continue to use this store as long as he his in business. THANK YOU EXCEL SHOES!!!!!!!!!!! Tonya

If you miss the kids workshop, they usually have the kids kits in hand for the first week, just ask the customer service staff. The home & garden section has a great selection of plants. However, I wish they would get a better selection of hanging house plants. They keep getting golden pothos. Yes, they are gorgeous. But we want some other types & varieties. The staff is always helpful & kind. You can find an associate just about in every aisle you turn. The store is clean, so are the restrooms.
