    Despite the names, it's pretty much set up like Savers. If you're familiar with Savers, and their…read morelayout, you'll have no issues navigating this store. The store is clean, organized, and with employees who are constantly tidying up and restocking. Shelves were well stocked while I was there, but only 1 thing caught my eye as a MUST HAVE. In the Home section, I especially liked the mixed bags of items on the wall. For a low price you get a variety of pre-selected like items all bagged up. Each bag is different; there were arts and crafts bags, home decor bags, toy bags, kitchenware, and more. When it comes to pricing... I think value is subjective. One person may think a $8.99 vase is too much, the other may think it's a steal. You have to see and decide for yourself. Keep in mind inventory will vary, depending on when you go. However, during this visit there was a good amount of purses, curtains, accent pillows, throws, and books. More than Savers- Columbia Heights and Woodbury which I've visited before. One thing I didn't notice were fitting rooms (just like Savers). However, there were public bathrooms. If you're looking to check out a few thrift stores while you're on the road, Arc Value Village, and Legacy are not too far.

    Formal Complaint Regarding Treatment by Donation Manager on August 2, 2026…read more On August 2, 2026, at approximately 3:30 p.m., I came to Unique to donate three bicycles and garden fencing. I have been a customer and donor at Unique for many years and have donated similar items, including fencing, in the past. When I arrived at the donation area, the manager on duty informed me that Unique could not accept the garden fencing. I explained that I had donated fencing previously, but I understood and did not argue with his decision. I then turned toward my vehicle to remove the fencing from my trunk so that I could access the bicycles. As I was doing this, the manager said to me, "I told you we can't take that!" I explained that I had heard and understood him and that I was simply removing the fencing from my vehicle so that I could get to the bicycles. At that point, I asked him not to speak to me anymore because I felt that his tone and manner toward me were rude and were making me uncomfortable. Despite my repeated requests that he leave me alone, he continued engaging with me. I repeatedly told him to stop speaking to me and leave me alone. Instead of respecting that request, he took out his phone and began recording me, stating that I was making him uncomfortable at work. This escalated the situation significantly. I was attempting to disengage from the interaction, yet he continued to engage with me and record me after I had repeatedly asked him to stop. I began raising my voice and yelling because I felt unsafe and wanted to draw attention to what was happening. This is particularly concerning to me because this was the third interaction I have had with this same employee that has made me feel uncomfortable. I have been shopping at and donating to Unique for many years, and I have never experienced this type of treatment from any other employee. I believe that race may have played a role in the way I was treated. I recognize that I cannot definitively know his motivation, but the repeated nature of my negative interactions with this particular employee has caused me serious concern. I do not make this allegation lightly. During the interaction, I asked to speak with his manager. He told me that he was the manager. I then asked for his name, but he refused to provide it. He subsequently threatened to call the police because I was yelling. I told him to do so, as I was not threatening him or attempting to cause harm; I was trying to get the situation to stop after repeatedly asking him to leave me alone. After I removed the bicycles from my vehicle, I parked and entered the store because I wanted to speak with another manager and formally report what had occurred. As I was preparing to speak with management, the same employee approached me again and stated that I was "causing a scene" and accused me of calling him racist. I acknowledge that I did call him racist during the interaction because, at that point, I was extremely upset and felt that I was being treated unfairly. I was eventually told that I could call the store at 9:00 a.m. to file a complaint with a manager named Gabby. I again requested the employee's name so that I could accurately identify the individual involved. I was told to simply refer to him as the "manager on duty of donations," by another manager. After doing some research I learned his name is Joshua P. Rapke. I am extremely upset by this experience. I am not someone who routinely files complaints. In situations where I have had poor customer service experiences in the past, I have generally chosen to simply stop patronizing the business. However, this interaction was different. I left feeling disrespected, uncomfortable, and genuinely unsafe, particularly because I repeatedly attempted to disengage from the interaction and my requests were not respected. I am asking Unique to take this complaint seriously and investigate this incident, including reviewing any available security footage and determining whether the employee's actions and conduct were consistent with Unique's expectations for managers and employees interacting with customers and donors. I would also like this complaint documented formally and would appreciate a response regarding the outcome of the investigation and what steps will be taken to address this situation. I have been a longtime customer and donor, which makes this experience especially disappointing. I expect to be able to donate and shop at Unique without being subjected to confrontational, intimidating, or disrespectful treatment. Outside of this particular employee, I love Unique. Just tired of the treatment I get from this one man. Avoid this man at all cost!

    I wish I could give a 3.5 rating, since overall it was a good experience…read more So here's the deal. - lack of large signage on the exterior, makes it easy to miss being it blends in with the other businesses along the strip. -upon entering you may be given a strip of SOLD stickers. If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

    My first time at the Goodwill Bins went a little too well... definitely had the thickest stack of…read morefinds compared to my 2 friends. We went during a cloudy afternoon so it was the perfect activity. I got to observe the new bin rush from the side, and later participate in one as well. I get people are enthusiastic even outside the new bin drops, but some large parties kept hogging side sections when I was trying to go through them in a flow. I kept thinking about other things I wanted to see/do in the Twin Cities though so couldn't lock in to the level I really wanted. Next time I'll need to spend a whole day here and be more liberal with my narrowing down step. Unfortunately not trying on everything at my friend's apartment wasn't a good idea because now I'm back in Texas and some items don't fit right.

    The goodwill outlet center / "bins" is quite the experience haha. You can tell a lot of people are…read morethere all the time and are "professionals", but I still enjoyed it as a casual thrifter! There are rows of bins, probably 40-60 in the store, and they are filled with clothes, household items, shoes, games, etc! At first glance most of it is less then appealing, but there are definitely hidden gems in these bins! I walked away with a jacket and top for my partner and pants for me! No dressing rooms. There are a ton of people there typically too, so be prepared to be in close proximity and searching bins together! Some of the bins smelled and overarchingly the experience is a little gross when you think about it too long haha. Being gloves if you want and wash up after, you'll be fine! They switch out the bins maybe every 30mins-1 hour, and this is when you find the best stuff that hasn't been picked over. The staff was friendly enough. I was surprised by the prices. You pay by the pound, which is cool! I still expected it to cost less though haha. It was roughly $4/piece for everything I got. Again nothing crazy and good prices for thrifting, but I still expected it to be "dirt cheap" given these items are at their final destination. Overall it's a place I'll come once or twice a year to mix up my thrifting :)

They let…read moreme look at all the jewelry behind the counter, and I'm very picky about the pieces I add to my collection. I went home with a vintage heart locket that was worth the price and my new staple piece I wear every day! I usually find that vintage stores can really increase pricing just for the allure of vintage items but I found most things to be reasonably priced. They have such a wide variety of items that I could spend hours looking around. It's really a hidden gem. One thing to note is that there is a large collection of racist caricatures/black face dolls and figurines. It's pretty uncomfortable to look at. After another reviewer pointed it out, it reminded me to include that in my review. I don't think they should be included in the selection, regardless of its appeal for "collectors."

I had the day off and we decided to venture out looking for some Christmas gifts. Really cute place. Old and nostalgic and they carry a lot of things. There are about 18 different vendors. If you want Vinyl, this is the place to go. I am not a vinyl person, but our friend is and this trip out here was to him. Found some great albums and took a stroll down memory lane with a lot of the old items on display. The two women working there are lovely and so helpful. There is an entire room full of vinyl. I think it's called the fault and then there are also records through out. Great store and a great find!! Be sure to stop in.

    I found the inventory to be a bit smaller than stores like Salvation Army Store and Savers. LThat…read moresaid there are still lots of pros. - Lots of vintage decor. Upon entering you'll find of a variety of vintage items (not just second hand) to the left of registers. There were jugs, soda bottles, spice jars, figurines, and more. - If you're looking for Christian books, or audio, there are lots. What I like about the book session is that everything is shelved in alphabetical order. I don't see that at other second hand stores. -Speaking of books there's a small section of vintage books. Whether you're looking for something to read or just to use as decor. Many are pretty, leather bound, and with metallic ink on the spine. -There was a good selection of lamps and furniture, but the home decor section was a little basic. I didn't check out the clothes. A big con for me was how narrow the aisle are. There's no way to pass someone with a cart, if you happen to have one as well. I would definitely return. If you're looking to have a day of shopping, Arc Value Village and Unique Thrift aren't far.

This was not my first visit but have always found this place to be clean and organized. Of course there is still going to be some chaos on the shelves but you're not going to find socks mixed in with the silverware. This MG location is better than some. I noticed that they recently took out their dressing rooms at multiple stores. So if you plan on trying on clothes prior to purchasing, be prepared with leggings and a tank top and changing in the aisle. You have to be methodical with parking. There is only 1 way in/out of the lot and it is at the end of a parking lane. If you swing around to park in the front row beware that it's a dead end or else you'll be driving INTO the Donation Exit lane. I either like to pull through or back into a parking space for an easy exit.
