First time here after hearing good things from a friend, so expectations were cautiously optimistic…read moreand overall, this place delivered... with a few caveats. Let's start with the good stuff. This store is absolutely massive. And the carts? Chef's kiss. Smooth, solid, high-quality carts that roll like butter. Think Target carts, not the janky, squeaky chaos you usually get at thrift stores. I appreciated that more than I expected to. Prices were mostly average. Not amazing, not outrageous. Vans were around $14.99, which isn't great but also not the worst I've seen lately. Home goods weren't huge, but the section was decent and worth a look. I didn't find any jaw-dropping designer labels, but I did find some solid pieces for myself, so it wasn't a wasted trip. Bonus points because they were running orange tags at 75% off, which definitely helped soften the pricing sting. Would I come back? Yes, if I'm already in the area. Would I make a 45-minute drive just for this store again? Probably not. Overall, CommunityAid Temple is clean, well-organized, easy to shop, and way less stressful than a lot of thrift stores. Not a holy grail, but a solid stop that's worth checking out especially during tag sales.

Found this thrift shop while heading to Pottstown. At first glance it doesn't appear to be much but once inside you're transformed to a very nicely decorated and organized retail space - at least in the first few rooms. As you stroll thru the building the organization and display become less and less enticing into you reach the back which is literally like an unheated warehouse with stuff everywhere, somewhat organized. I did enjoy myself digging thru and discovering cool things but was deterred by the pricing which was more in line with an antique store than a thrift store. However quality for the most part (with the exception of those back rooms) was decent. In one of the rooms were handpainted portraits on large canvases, tons of them of different everyday, ordinary people. I enjoyed looking thru them to see if it was anyone I knew. Literally there was tons of them! Upstairs you'll find clothing and shoes, which felt like raiding a nursing home closet but not in a cool vintage way. Very matronly and not of current styles. Also clothing was very limited, probably primarily because of lack of space as the upstairs is a loft like area. There is a room for boutique items - with prices to match, only the brands were mall brands and nothing special. It is hard to maneuver in those rooms, and especially to social distance. I didn't feel comfortable up there at all. They did have some good stuff, but again nothing I was willing to pay that much for so I ultimately left empty handed. I will say this, don't let the run down, drab exterior fool you, if you're into the hunt like me this is one place you'll want to explore.

There is also an upstairs level which is filled with ladies clothes and accessories. Menswear can be found upstairs as well. There is something for everyone here including children, as there is a section for them filled with toys. Everything associated with homes can be found here including furniture, glasswares, housewares, kitchen items, sporting goods, light fixtures, washers, dryers, books, pictures and practically anything else you can think of involving homes, including "The kitchen Sink". I personally have been coming here for 4 years and have purchased many household items here as well. There are also some furniture items that I have found here that I am purchasing too. I have met one of the owners here who run the business and I have found her to be a very sincere and kind person. Check out my pics to see the inside of this place and all the merchandise!

It's located in a deserted, large shopping complex with the anchor store vacant. The lot is expansive and this store is on the end next to the large vacant property. For that reason I would be leery of going at night alone. Otherwise approaching I could see it was a store with a substantial amount of real estate. Furniture pieces were visible thru the window. I couldn't wait to get inside to explore. Is it the cleanest, most organized store? You can literally see dust balls float across the floor. No...but its full of vintage items as well as pickers. How do I know? You can witness them on the sales floor doing pricing research on their phones while holding tight to an item. I would guess that the majority of the customers were resellers. For that reason, if you see something you like, whether you think it's valuable or just valuable to you grab it. Take a look at that complete set of vintage mushroom canisters I came across. I know they are a highly desirable collectable. I left them for someone else to discover and enjoy. What I would consider highlights for this store is the furniture pieces. Large, small, new and old, like antique old (see pic). The large solid wood wall unit was complete with shelving and lighting and priced at only $299. I'm sure it was a few thousand new. If you dabble in decorative painting and furniture upcycling like I do you'll want to add this store to your thrifting stops. Housewares and decorative items were plenty and arranged better than some departments. I scored some great pieces in this dept that have been on my "thrift wish list "for some time. Toys, crafts, and misc were a huge mess, with piles on the shelves and on the floor without any consideration to order. Prices are very affordable, only a step above yard sale for most items. Linens were stocked well and included a lot of vintage and handmade pieces like crocheted afghans. Clothing was a miss for me. Although I did see they have dressing room the department was so full and clustered together I didn't feel like routing. Shoes I felt were priced high, one price depending on item (see pic) without consideration to brand or condition. DVD's were labeled as half off, but I didn't see a price for comparison. The book department was large and popular. On the day I was there they were constantly adding new items, including furniture pieces, and the pickers were standing ready. This store is part of the Opportunity House, a non profit that offers social services to disadvantaged families, a mission I truly support. The employees were all nice, especially the young man at the register, who provided me with a loyalty card - get it hole punched for each purchase. So while this might not be the best looking or best kept store, it's a great place to hunt for vintage and current items on the cheap.

There are more sections than I would normally expect in a thrift store including a dedicated small section for hospital scrubs - or a small section for maternity clothing exclusively. I believe that each day of the week they pick one color of price tag to be discounted. Today's color was blue and I bought three pair of cargo shorts - each of them with the blue tag - for a total of $11. The pricing was good to begin with but then saving an extra 50% is great. I'll definitely be returning to this Goodwill thrift store.

Located in a small strip mall on a major highway it's surrounded by other retailers. By the looks of the parking lot they were packed and I did have some concerns that it might be difficult to social distance (it was in the housewares so I just waited). I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and organized the interior was. While the racks were full they weren't stuffed and care was given so they hung on the hangers nicely. Linens were nicely folded and of good quality. While I did see a few sizing signs in the ladies dept for S and M, they weren't in every category of clothing and I had to physically scan the racks to find bigger sizes. Of the clothing I did see I didn't see any with flaws which tells me the sorting process at this location does a better job than most Goodwills. Housewares had the largest inventory and it was packed with people. Many items didn't have prices. Shoes also had a nice selection but no seat to try them on. The set of dressing rooms by the linens had a sign that they were closed but I was told they are always closed and there's another row across the store. There was an annex (think like the garden center at Walmart) through a door with signage for furniture but it was only a table or two of Christmas items and the space felt unheated. I will add that they had no carts inside and an employee went and searched the parking lot to get me one, so I think they're in high demand. A contactless donation center was also out front. If this location was closer I'd add them to my thrifting rotation.

You can find plenty of vintage items, fun toys, cool memorabilia, and odds-and-ends for not much money, which is great.

Despite finding very reasonably priced pieces for my home and a potential gift item for my collector husband, the shipping charges equaled the subtotal of my cart. Too rich for my blood.
