    I've only heard good things about this place so far so I had to visit it. First impressions are…read morethat it's clean and well organized. For the size of the space, which isn't too big, they still had a great selection. Since we visited after the holidays they had lots of sales. Not as much furniture from what I could tell, but great amount of kitchen dinnerware and clothing! Parking lot is crazy big since it's by a few other places. Driving here was also a breeze since there were quite a few signs leading to it! I'll definitely be checking this place out again soon.

    My gf and I stumbled across this thrift store yesterday as we were doing our rounds. I guess it's…read morebeen open for four months, but it hadn't shown up on our radar until now. A wide assortment of clothes and hard goods. As far as layout and in-store vibe I'd put this up as one of the nicest thrift stores in the Des Moines metro! From their web site: "About us: We wanted to create a different kind of thrift store with a premium shopping experience - one where people could count on finding a great variety of quality items in an organized, pleasant atmosphere. Thriftmart is a nonprofit store owned by Joppa. All merchandise has been donated by Joppa Partners to match our meticulous quality standards so that you'll enjoy quality finds, every time! We all know thrifting is important for sustainability. Reusing items is not only economical it also helps sustain the environment. Plus, all unsold Thriftmart merchandise goes to good causes--nothing goes to waste. What's more, every purchase helps someone experiencing homelessness to survive, find housing and rebuild their lives. Our goal is to ultimately help end homelessness in central Iowa." https://thriftmart.com/

    This place is a hidden gem!!! They have so many cool things we counted everything when we got home…read moreand we had like 80 things TOTAL and our total price was 40 dollars! They have some of the coolest vintage decor especially Christmas stuff!

    I'm a former Animal Lifeline of Iowa volunteer and I love this organization dearly…read more I was on the south side killing a few minutes until my mother got off work so I could give her a ride home, and I drove by the Thrift Shop. I came in with my son about 20 minutes before closing at 6pm. I figured I could see what I could and would leave before closing, no problem. I love thrifting, and I was happy to just browse and come back tomorrow. The women behind the counter immediately began complaining about how close it was to close and one said she was going to "lock the doors so nobody else could come in." I looked around a little bit when one of the women complained loudly how there was only a couple minutes left before checking out "or else we'll be here long after 6." When I looked her way and saw she was looking my way, I left. I've worked retail-I understand about wanting to leave as close after closing as you can. But I was a customer and it was 20 minutes to closing. This is a poor way to treat customers and reflects poorly on the store as a whole. I still feel the Lifeline is an amazing organization and I'll always support it, but not through the Thrift Store, either as a patron or a donor.
