I love that they have 'theme weekends' and they do change the merchandise for every opening. I can deal with the crowded rooms, but my biggest problem here is controlling my desire to buy their unique items, which are not all antiques but are all delightful. A word of advice: if you see something you can't live without, grab it, ask the girls at the front desk to hold it for you, because if you hesitate and then come back to that room it may be gone, and it may be an item that they only have one of!

Having been to this store a handful of times I was excited to go in and shop today but…read moreunfortunately I don't think I'll ever be going back. As I was in line waiting to check out I noticed some people arguing price with the owner and thought nothing of it, BUT I absolutely should have. I made polite conversation with the owner as he was ringing up my items but then when he said my total I was a bit taken aback as it was higher than I had expected. When I was shopping I had been keeping a running total as I went and this seemed well above it. Unfortunately I did not trust my gut and paid for my items and figured I'd just check everything when I got in the car. I was given no receipt and when I went to check the items I remembered that as we were chatting the owner had cut off the price tags. I calculated (rounding up) what I remembered the tags to have said (even checking pictures I had sent my husband for opinions) when I was shopping and was shocked to see that I had been overcharged by about $50 dollars. It seems like this guy likes to take advantage of people and just charge whatever he feels in the moment and then makes it so there's little to no consequence for his actions because there's no way to "be sure" unless you're watching and calculating every single thing as he goes through. The only reason this review isn't one star is because of my previous pleasant experiences but BE CAREFUL here because you never know when the owner might decide to ruin your day.

The store features a variety of items from individual sellers who rent spaces. Shoppers can find a diverse selection of goods, including buttons, costume jewelry, household items, one off treasures, hats, as well as vintage clothing. The inventory is constantly changing, offering a new experience with every visit. I didn't know how much I would enjoy this store until I got sucked into the different things for about a half an hour. If I wasn't on a time crunch I would have stayed longer. I enjoyed the friendly greeting when I walked in the door. There were some great sales going on that she wanted to make sure I knew about. Things were moderately priced and you could find a really good deal.

This had to be the weirdest thrift store experience I have ever had. We were drawn to the shop by…read moregoogle and the zen name & signs out front. At first we thought it was closed because all of the lights were off. But the main door was unlocked and we entered. There was 3 people sitting at the table in the middle of the store - they stared us down but didn't say a word. We wondered the entire store which was primarily books, movies/dvds/VHS & furniture, with a few odds and ends. I think my definition of "gift store" is different than theirs because I didn't see much that I would categorize in that department. The odor in this store was the usual thrift store aroma, with a splash of...something very unpleasant. We saw what looked like a music venue in the back with a few guys talking really loudly from that area. After wondering the store, we started to work our way to the front when one of the gentleman practically ran to follow us out. When we looked back at him, he pulled out his key and dangled it indicating he was locking the door behind us, still not saying a single word to us. Out of probably 5 people in that store, not a single one said anything to us. If they were closed, they should have locked the door behind them - it was Saturday late morning.... I would label this more as a used book/music/movie store. I definitely won't waste my time here again. Such a weird experience!

I was also here on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 to shop around. It is on Beverly Drive, right across the parking lot from the Carson City Senior Center, and in the same complex as Carson City Health & Human Services on East Long Street. There were many dignitaries here, such as Carson City Ward 2 Supervisor Brad Bonkowski, who spoke briefly, and Mayor Pro Tem and Supervisor Lori Bagwell. There was also someone from the Carson City Chamber of Commerce. They had a short ribbon cutting ceremony with gigantic scissors in front of their new sign. Then the first 100 people got a free hot dog, two cookies (oatmeal, chocolate chip, or vanilla chip), and a (warm) water. Donations to Meals on Wheels were optional. The woman volunteer at the end seemed kind of ornery to me, but oh well. The volunteer when I drove up was really nice, as was the employee there when I went in March. They also had a 50% off sale today in the thrift store on everything except books. As part of the new name, they also got new larger signs for the donation station and entrance. And they now reserve a parking spot for donations in front of the donation station. After I ate my hot dog, I went inside. It was very busy and they had two people manning the cash registers. They have different sections for different things, such as furniture, men's clothing, women's clothing, children's clothing, trinkets, boutique items, and electronics. My one complaint about this store it it is expensive for used items. $200 for a very small kitchen table for two, $100 for a sofa, $15 for a beat-up office chair, $10 for an old chartreuse file cabinet that looks like it is from the 70's, etc. Clothing is more reasonable, but still a little expensive. I do get that is for a good cause and they have overhead, but I still think it is a little expensive. I mean people are giving away sofas for free on craigslist. The store is always looking for volunteers, so please consider that. They also take Apple Pay, which is a little surprising for a thrift store. Parking is very easy, as there are plenty of space in front. I would give this store three stars due to the prices, but I will leave four since it is for a good cause.

Some other items , like furniture are way too high. The only discount day (Thursday) is for seniors. Even then, there's still some things that aren't discounted for seniors so ask ahead. The customer service could be improved. They do have a back patio area with more stuff. I learned the hard way, they lock the door after a certain time. Me and another customer were confused, tried knocking on the door. No answer, made our way to a side door. No apology from staff, more annoyed that we were outside. I do appreciate that at least they have a return for store credit, policy on electronics (7 days ) With it being such a small space, perhaps some better pricing and discount days would help with sales and make room for more donations. Anywho, that's my 2 cents... happy thrifting.
