If you have things at your house that you don't want and you feel others can benefit from, this is an easy, drive through place to drop them off. They look overwhelmed -really- so much stuff.

This store offers no color tag discounts and no military, senior, or first responder discounts, so I usually go to Durango. This store is usually in disarray, has very little on the shelves and is overpriced. It has seemed a bit better the past two months so I have tried going there again, however the older lady who is manager was rude, condescending and flat out lied about an item, took it from me and put it in the back. I had asked if it could be discounted because it was broken, she said no, but then refused to allow me to purchase it at all. To say you cannot purchase broken items at Goodwill is comical, most of their items are broken or chipped and customers purchase them at a discount because they are. I will go back to Durango, the store is run better, the employees are not as unhappy. The young man who checked me out was very apologetic about how unkind the manager was to me but said, he was unable to intervene because if he "ruffled her feathers" she would make his job miserable.

One of the best thrift stores in the area. Has a large selection of clothes (mostly women's), but…read morealso a ton of other items. Despite the huge selection of stuff, the store doesn't feel crowded, though it is a cozy space. It's kept clean and organized (though I'd still HIGHLY recommend wearing a face mask during the winter and fall, as the smaller space can lend to germs spreading quickly). The volunteers (mostly older ladies) are friendly, happy to help, and easy to get to know since the same folks have been volunteering there for years. They put in a ton of time and effort into the store, and the profits go to charity, like the local soup kitchen. An incident that stands out to me is when a shoe-less individual came into the store to wait out a rainstorm, and the manager immediately took him to the back to give him a pair of shoes. The prices are almost always extremely reasonable, and have barely gone up over the years. Quality items are usually under $5, with many costing just cents (a huge difference from thrift stores in more populated areas). It's rare to find anything that feels overpriced, even with big ticket items. People seem to love to donate here, as they always have new unique items for sale behind the counter. This place is a local gem, and the parking lot can be packed during busy hours. My favorite place for retail therapy! I've found countless useful things here and would recommend it to anyone.

Books were really cheap which is so smart to move them quickly. So many books are donated to thrift stores a lot get trashed and what they keep other thrift stores over charge.

An emotional experience that ultimately brought Athena home with us…read more My wife and I are a little conflicted about how to review LPCHS because our experience had a pretty significant bump in the road before ultimately becoming one of the best adoption experiences we could have asked for. First, the thrift store is absolutely worth mentioning. It helps support the shelter next door, and we've found some phenomenal deals every time we've visited. On our most recent trip, my son found a Nike hat that looked brand new for only $5. We also regularly look through the books and can usually leave with a pile for less than $10. Then there's the shelter. We originally went in simply wanting to see some of the dogs. After walking through a couple of the kennels, we met Athena, a 7-year-old Boxer who had recently lost her owner and had also been returned after an incident involving a cat in her new home. Something about Athena immediately felt different. We continued through the kennels and saw plenty of other healthy, happy-looking animals, but we couldn't shake the feeling that Athena was meant to come home with us. We went to the front counter, explained our home situation, and mentioned that we have an outdoor cat. That's where things initially went sideways. We were told that having a cat immediately disqualified us from adopting Athena. There wasn't much discussion beyond that. After feeling like we had potentially just found a new member of our family, hearing that we couldn't adopt her because we had a cat was honestly heartbreaking. We've previously owned two Boxers, so we weren't unfamiliar with the breed or the responsibility involved. We also felt like we never really had the opportunity to discuss the circumstances of Athena's previous adoption or explain how our home is set up. We left pretty disappointed. But after lunch, we decided to go back. I spoke with another staff member because I wanted to understand what had actually happened with Athena and the cat in her previous home. That conversation was completely different. I learned more about the circumstances and explained that our cat lives in an outdoor space with clear escape routes and that we understood the importance of introducing Athena and our cat in a controlled environment. Instead of simply saying no, the conversation turned into, "Let's evaluate this." Liz, the manager working that day, helped us schedule an appointment with a behaviorist so we could actually see Athena around a cat and better understand what we would be taking on. That evaluation changed everything. Athena's interaction with the cat was far less concerning than we had initially imagined. She was able to disengage, and it didn't appear to us that her behavior was malicious. It became easier to understand how a previous interaction in an uncontrolled environment could have escalated. We were then able to introduce Athena to our kids in another controlled environment. The shelter has a really nice, well-maintained play yard with turf, rocks, boulders, and toys where the dogs can interact with families. Aiden, the behaviorist, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient while explaining Athena's temperament, what to watch for, potential concerns, and what we needed to understand about adopting a 7-year-old Boxer who needed a loving home for her senior years. One thing that really stood out was how willing the staff were to put the animals first. They even allowed us to use their "boardroom"/lunchroom area to conduct the cat evaluation while staff were eating and taking their breaks. They could have easily said it wasn't a good time, but instead they shared their space because it was important for Athena's adoption process. And after all of that... We adopted Athena. She came home with us, and within her very first night, she was already making herself comfortable. We couldn't be happier with how the introduction has gone so far, and we're incredibly excited to give her the loving home she deserves. They even sent her home with an adoption-day cake dog toy, along with a certificate for a bag of food we could pick up at Pet Haus down the road. So yes, our first interaction with the shelter left us frustrated and heartbroken. I don't want to pretend that part didn't happen. But what ultimately matters is that we came back, asked more questions, and the staff were willing to listen, reevaluate the situation, involve behavioral expertise, and give Athena the opportunity to find the right home. And now that home is ours. Welcome to the family, Athena. LPCHS, thank you for helping us find her and, more importantly, for ultimately being willing to look at the individual situation rather than just the circumstances on paper.

However, from an outside perspective, it doesn't seem like much has changed at all. In fact, I feel like it's gotten more expensive, and more picky with what items they put out on the floor. In general, it just feels like a boutique now. It's clean, well thought out, there are fancy, cool items, and a few more affordable things. If that's what you're after, you'll probably enjoy this thrift store. I guess I'm still stuck in the past, when it was truly affordable and had a wider range of items. When it really felt like a thrift store. Now, whenever I go there, I leave with nothing. I don't think it'll ever be like it was before, and while I truly hope that the new business model works well for them, since their mission is important, I can't see myself stopping by anymore.
