    Great addition to Tucson's thrifting world. I stopped in to look for some shorts and a new sleep sack for my little one. The clothing is extremely well organized, by size, gender, and item type. Staff was very friendly and took me straight to the sleep sack section after I arrived. Then I was easily able to navigate myself to the shorts and found a few great options in the right size. The price points for the clothing seemed reasonable, I got a pair of Baby Gap shorts for $5 and a pair of new Cat & Jack for $3. The toy section is definitely not as organized or neat as the clothing, but I did find an unopened stacking cup set I ended up taking home. It didn't seem like they had a ton of big ticket baby equipment items when I visited, but I know they often share them on their Instagram so they may just be going very fast. I'm sure they'll continue to build up their inventory. Can't speak to selling items to them yet, but I'll definitely return for shopping.

    I've only been here twice but both times were enjoyable. I find their prices are extremely…read morereasonable especially compared to the other small children's consignment stores in Tucson. They have a wide range of baby/kid items, name brand, quality pieces new and used, but they also have a lot of stuff I would consider "junk" to sort through just like other second hand stores so it takes a little while to find exactly what you want. My favorite thing about them is both times I've gone in they have had vintage items as well that are gorgeous conversation pieces for sale which is really fun. I personally don't like being followed and talked to too much as I'm shopping so I thought it was great that the owner and employees greeted me and asked if I needed help then let me be until I asked for assistance or joined a couple conversations. The owner is very sweet and every one who works there in down to earth and hospitable. I was very pregnant when I brought in two huge heavy bins for trade and the owners son was a gentleman and made sure to carry them for me. This is definitely a local family business that I will continue to support.

    Great prices on mostly gently used items. They have a lot of items from bouncers, strollers, toys,…read moreclothing, baby baths, play pens and so much more. Great for parents on a tight budget and grand parents who need supplies for when the grand kids come to visit.

    Park Place Mall is more of a get er done kinda vibe …read more It's a solid indoor mall on the east side with a little bit of everything /shopping, food, and entertainment all in one spot. You've got your go-to stores like Dillard's, Old Navy, Ulta, plus fun extras like Round1 and a movie theater, which honestly makes it more than just a shopping trip . I like coming here when I want something easy and low-stress -- plenty of parking , AC blasting in the summer, and enough variety to wander without feeling overwhelmed . Is it the fanciest mall? No. But it's reliable, convenient, and still feels like a real MALL which is rare these days.

Department stores are closing and the empty…read morespace is either left empty, or converted into a more family-friendly venue like arcade or play place. My daughter and I took the boys here after we left the zoo. We needed a venue that was climate-controlled on a 95F-degree day at 1:30pm. We had a few hours to spend before the restaurant we had planned to eat at would open for dinner. We entered near the old Macy's side entrance and walked toward the food court. I enjoyed the colorful murals and art along the way. The boys there spend some time in the play area. The padding there is soft and the climbing equipment designed for younger kids. My daughter and I then had iced tea drinks. I chose Boba Tea company and she Cinnabon. We spent another hour at the arcade Round 1. Here is where my daughter spend $155 for two 300 cards for the boys. While they enjoyed the games, air hockey and simulated race car games, this is a luxury only afforable because they were on spring break vacation visiting their grandma. If there were go-carts available, this grandma would gladly have joined the team.

    I've been coming here 1-2 times/year for 15+ years -- purging kids' clothes. Alas, things have…read morechanged and this is probably my last time. Pre-pandemic they (especially the old Grant/Alvernon location) would pay a small bonus or premium for higher-end clothes (think Polo, Tommy, Banana, Guess) but that is no longer. I inquired and was told "the computer" categorizes everything similarly (a lame excuse for any customer service response). During December "spring cleaning" I came across a couple of bins of grade school clothes - all name brands and half with tags still on them, sigh. I brought them here and joked that they would be buying everything... and they did. But their offer was appalling. Each item garnered between 80c and $1.20 ...in Store Credit! Or just half of that in cash (these all originally cost $25-40 and will still get displayed for $6-10 each). I decided to pull all of the Ralph Lauren and BR items (which slightly irritated the cashier) and I will be donating everything to Gospel Rescue Mission instead. GRM is local and recently started to house parent(s) with children so these kids will be looking sharp and that puts a priceless smile of joy on me. Plus GRM is a charity so I can take the tax write-off. I'll simply value each item similarly and get the donation credit of 27% (or about $2 PER item). I think they'd call that a win-win. I should have done this sooner. I have no beef with the store's staff, layout, or even their floor prices. Only the indistinguishing, mechanized buying strategies... and yes, the impossibly loud music.

    Google says they buy used clothes, this page says it's a consignment shop and both of those are…read morelies. They give store credit! I brought in some brand new and gently used items and was offered $29 in store credit. None of which I'll be using. The young lady was nice but became bit annoying when she kept calling me girlfriend. It took her about fifteen, twenty minutes to him through my ENTIRE blue Ikea bag. You'll should really update your listings and stop lying to people! I left the rest room donate, I made sure to ask where because I don't support Goodwill. She said a local woman who supports the unhoused.
