Here is a clearer, more polished rewrite that keeps your honest tone but improves flow and…read morereadability: I have visited the new expanded location several times now. There are some things the store does very well, and some areas that are clearly struggling. First, the space is much larger than the previous location. There is plenty of room for merchandise, and they seem to have many kind volunteers working there. The furniture and home goods section is organized fairly well. However, the shelves are extremely packed with merchandise, which may be related to the pricing. Many items feel overpriced for a community thrift store, which likely slows down how quickly things move off the shelves. The layout is also a bit confusing. It almost feels like two completely separate stores. Furniture and home goods are on one side, while clothing is in a different area. What makes it more unusual is that you cannot pay for clothing on the home goods side, or home goods on the clothing side. You also have to go outside to enter each section. It seems like this setup requires twice as many volunteers and makes the shopping experience less convenient. The pricing on the clothing side is actually very good, but the organization is quite poor. I found high-end men's shirts, such as Brooks Brothers, mixed in with women's clothing. There were several other similar examples of items being misplaced, which made browsing more difficult. I have visited multiple times before writing this review because I hoped that, after the expansion, the shopping experience would improve. Unfortunately, the store actually felt more organized in its old location than it does now.

This is a thrift store and food pantry. I didn't go and look at a lot of the things there because I…read morewent to pick up an eBay order, but I went in the wrong side first, and they already knew why I was there and sent me next-door. That in itself told me that one hand knows what the other is doing, and it's obviously really organized. Second, when we went in the thrift store side, it smelled clean. On that side, they were super nice too, and my eBay purchase pick up was super smooth. Purchases that you make their go toward providing food for people who need services from the food pantry. Even the eBay purchases go toward that. I feel better about a purchase if something good comes out of it for somebody else too. That's important to me and my family. I highly recommend this essential part of the community!

I visited with my friend and her 12 year old daughter today. I'm a Latina woman and my friend and…read moreher daughter are Black. We were followed and antagonized by the sales person, an older white lady with short hair. She followed our every move except when checking someone out at the register I kneeled down to check out a piece of pottery that had some medal inside and when she heard a clinkig noise and quickly said out loud from where she was " if you break it you buy it, if you break it you will have to purchase it,". Then she proceeded to come to where we were. I had purchased pieces form a nearby antique store, one of which I was holding in my hand. She demanded to see it's tag. To which I nicely obliged. She then told us that she needed to tell us they had just installed security cameras, which she repeated several times. I was shocked and sickened that we were treated this way. We quickly left the store as we were all very upset. No one should be treated this way. I suggest Ownership ( if she wasn't the owner) should really address this issue. I would not recommend anyone support this establishment until this is addressed and sales people are appropriately trained. Sadly, Another example of how racism is alive and well in America.
