I found out about Revive from a Facebook suggested page. I was surprised there was a thrift store…read morein downtown Ephrata that I knew nothing about considering I'm up there frequently. As per their Facebook page they are described as the owner had a dream to purchase property, have her own store, and provide affordable housing to women in need. This store is considered for profit, however she states that she uses the funds to renovate the upstairs apartments in hope to help women escape bad relationships by providing affordable housing options. I support her vision. I was lucky enough to visit the store a few weeks before Christmas when the parking meters were covered. Normally there's a fee for street parking however I'm not sure if it's because of the season or covid that street parking was free. It's a bit hard to secure downtown and difficult to back out of since the spots are slanted but not impossible. Inside the store has an overwhelming amount of stuff. Not quite hoarder level but there's alot to take in. The property is a series of small rooms, you walk thru one to get to another, with lots of nooks and crannies. It is a challenging space to set up for retail and she does what she can to make it organized. It is hard to walk thru some areas and definitely leave the stroller and big handbag at home! Some areas have nice displays and she does have a good eye for showcasing more precious items. Overall there's every department that a larger thrift store would have, just separated a bit. What surprised me was everything was yard sale prices - like .50 cents and a $1! While some of the clothing items were dated I did find some nice kids pieces that I couldn't leave without for .50 apiece! Many of the house and glasswear pieces were vintage and still priced at yard sale prices. I honestly don't know how she makes any money. On the porch was a free clothing pile which I didn't investigate. The owner was very friendly and let you walk around and explore on your own without being intrusive, but was available to help if you needed her. They are cash only so be sure to bring some and definitely allow yourself some time as this is not an in and out kind of shop. Worth adding to my thrifting rotation whenever parking is available.

As many times as I've thrifted in the Ephrata area I never heard of this store. I had earmarked…read moreanother thrift store a few doors up called Revive and while walking there I stumbled upon this one. The window displays were nice and festive, and since the metered parking was bagged off and free it left me time to explore. Inside an older couple at the register greeted me warmly. I'm assuming this is their store. However the horrid smell of unknown origin smacked me in the face. I can't even find the words or anything to compare it to. It nearly took my breath away and lingered throughout the store. The store had some displays but nothing as nice as the windows and for the most part was set up utilitarian with merchandise on racks and shelves. Everything was used for sure. I'm not sure if they are a for profit thrift store or a consignment shop, but I got the impression that inventory isn't rotated often. They could definitely use some help with visual merchandising. I browsed through the children's clothing and did see a few nicer pieces but the majority was dated and had signs of wear. I felt pricing was very high for the quality with most single pieces priced $4.90 or higher for Walmart brands. With the exception of the cheaper items in the back everything was priced ending in .90 cents. Exploring the store further I did find some inventory on racks and shelves with yard sale prices - .50 cents to $1.00, etc. For most of these items it was obvious why things were priced so low. I did find a few vintage hand towels in perfect condition in one of the .50 cent bins that looked better than any of the higher priced linens on the racks. Departments were small and most of the store square footage was roped off in the back. They had a few larger furniture pieces that were decent but expensive for what they were. Aside from clothing, yarn was the second largest section with tons of mostly opened or loose yarns. Housewares were very skimpy. I did see a nice pair of boots (see pic) but nothing else was worth a second glance. The clerks however were very nice. They had a makeshift shield up made of plastic wrap and duct tape, it didn't look nice but at least they made the effort. They also had hand sanitizer at the register. I'm really surprised considering the location in downtown Ephrata that they draw enough business to pay the rent in such a desirable location. I could not wait to get out and escape the smell. Normally the parking is metered on the street but for whatever reason the meters were bagged and free. Not sure if it's because of the season, the weekend, or covid. It's a main road in the heart of downtown. The spaces are slanted so you need to back out which is hard to do with such heavy traffic. However there's lots of cool little shops over 2 blocks that are easily walk-able and worth checking out.

The shop inside is divided by vendor and each has a unique feel, some are more glitzy while others are more industrial looking. There are two floors so don't forget to check up stairs!

The area's are constantly redecorated by the vendors and were just Christmas'd up by alot of them! A few of the vendors create items you can't find anywhere else too so if your looking for unique things then check it out.
