I am going to go ahead and give this thrift shop 5 stars simply because whenever I am in town, if I…read morecan't get in there I know I'm missing something. This is a thrift shop but does not carry furniture or large items. Most of the store is women's clothing in all sizes from Petite to Plus. There are small children's and men's clothing areas. There are also children's toys, books, purses, jewelry, shoes and some accessories. There are also several small areas with linens, collectibles, small appliances and kitchen wares. One negative is a Keurig I purchased with a tag that it works, but it didn't. It turned on but that was it. I imagine they checked it came on and assumed someone would not donate a non working item. But I paid $15 and consider it a donation to their charitable contributions. OK so the clothes are pretty much exclusively in very good condition or new. They do mark up designer brands and new items with tags. I paid $25 for a Michael Kors dress with tags, and $8 for a new child's outfit. They have easily accessed dressing rooms and a speedy check out process. They offer a frequent buyer card with $10 off when filled. The store is crowded but very well organized. Clothes are hung by type, size and color. So if I am looking for a white long sleeved shirt size small, they are all hung in one place. One positive/negative is their amazing store window displays. They decorate the windows seasonally with the best of what is donated. It is incredibly enticing to see all the wonderful items that might be available inside. The catch is that NOTHING in the window is available for purchase until after the season is over. The Christmas windows items will be available January 9th at 10 am with the line forming early. So if something you have been wanting appears in that window display you will need to be on hand at a very specific date and time, like an estate sale or auction. Because I don't even live in the area, I pretty much don't even look at the windows since I can't buy anything there. I see from other reviews the store windows cause lots of angst for shoppers and for staff apparently. But since I know the deal I just accept it. One review from 2019 talks about a children's play area. I have been shopping here 10 years at least, and there is no children's play area. There is an area of toys for sale. When I was in last week 3 small children were tearing up the toys in there and screaming into a Frozen karaoke machine. When they put it down for a minute I scooped it up and bought it for my granddaughter. Yes, it is an alcove but every toy, book and game is priced so obviously for sale. Who in the world leaves a 2 and 4 year old unsupervised in a thrift shop toy sales area? So consider that if you read it below and wondered about it.

I've been trying to find the time in my hectic schedule to pay this shop a visit which is no easy…read moretask as they keep strange hours and close daily at 3pm. Some unexpected time off from work allowed me the opportunity yesterday, but my visit was disappointing. I honestly was expecting much more from this store especially since other Mennonite run thrift stores in the area are superb. First off let's talk about that parking lot. It's a congested, tight mess. Once you get in IF you find a spot good luck getting out. Don't even attempt it if you're not good with backing up or in a huge vehicle. There is street parking but it's also hard to secure and metered. Secondly I was surprised by the lack of current styles and the high prices on adult clothing. Being that Lititz is one of the coolest small towns in America one would think the donations would be too. Most of the ladies clothes looked like it was donated from nursing homes. Quality was ok but the styles were just plain old. Kids clothing was better but very limited. Overall I felt all of their departments were limited except for books. Toys and kids clothing was priced well for thrift but I felt everything else was high. Than there's the ladies at the counter...bless their hearts because they're probably volunteers but....they don't listen for crap. A long winded customer in front of me was engaged in conversation with the TWO cashiers. I was only half listening but heard her mention no less than three times that her grandchildren were twins. When she whipped out a picture both of them replied "are they twins"?????? Were you listening?!? So when it's my turn to cash out I handed the one an item I didn't want and asked if I could give it to her. She acknowledged that I didn't want it, only to ring me up! Both woman were probably only a decade older than me so you can't blame old age! I did buy a blender which I thought was a decent deal. It had a note that stated that it worked but anyone that buys second hand appliances would want to try for themselves. It's not uncommon for something to "work" but have motor issues (thus the smell) so I asked if I could plug it in somewhere to see. Cashier #1 was like but it works and acted like I asked her for her firstborn child. A second employee had the same reaction. No one was accusing anyone of lying I just asked, politely at that, if I could see for myself. Their reactions, especially surrounded by other customers was embarrassing and unnecessary. Given the lack of things I would want to buy, the size of the store, the prices and style of adult clothing, their inconvenient hours, the hot mess of a parking lot, and overall lack of professionalism in their employees this is one thrift I'm gonna pass.

The store lives up to its name in that offerings are more on display vs resembling a garage or yard sale manner--more organized with space surrounding the houseware items. Clothes are neatly hung appear clean. I especially like viewing the donated China sets , gardening supplies and seasonal figurines. The prices range from reasonable to real bargains. Music adds to the relaxing browsing experience. Overall one of my favorite thrift stores!

Maybe I was too preoccupied with the big box thrifts in the area; Community Aid, Salvation Army, and Goodwill to go out and explore those less known. Do yourself a favor - don't make my mistake! This little thrift store is full of treasures waiting to be discovered and supports a number of ministry projects. Easy to find off Route 72 and open till 8 pm most days this location in a residential neighborhood has its own lot. Inside you'll find displays that will rival any retail store window. The organization is thoughtfully arranged by color/size/garment and it's easy to find exactly what you're looking for. If you're a brand whore you won't be disappointed. I saw many Chico, Dress Barn, and even Michael Koors pieces, all in top notch condition. Several items still had tags attached. While their inventory isn't as plentiful as the big box thrift, it's ample. Quality and current trends were on point. Just like their Palmyra sister store the jewelry display is artfully arranged. Prices were fair. On average shirts ran from $3.99-$5.99, jeans and pants a bit higher. I scored a great pair of like new shoes for $3, Halloween items were just .25 cents apiece - regardless if it was a pair of funky glasses or a full blown costume. While there were only a few, it's worth checking out. Aside from ladies clothing which dominates the store you'll find a men's section, children's clothing, toys, housewares, a very small furniture dept. (with signs saying that area will be transformed into a Christmas area in the next few weeks), housewares, wicker, bric brack, books, + a small card & craft section. While I browsed soft music played overhead and the cashier was very eager to assist in any way she could to enhance your shopping experience. The two dressing rooms were clean, spacious, and had plenty of hooks. A 50% off coupon can be found in some of the weekly rural newspaper editions and they also offer different specials/sales events from time to time. They even accept returns on clothing only up to 14 days. Electronics are checked but you're encouraged to plug in and verify for yourself since they can't be returned. Donations are easy to unload at the dock and I overheard they welcome your donation of unwanted boxes and plastic bags. Now that I know they exist I'll be checking them out more often!
