Constant chaos due to sloppy, inept management and a steady flow of new employees quitting without warning after only a few days on the job. The obese store manager here always seems to have only a tenuous grasp on her managerial responsibilities. Even worse, is the scrawny hag from corporate who has delusions of grandeur despite the fact that she spends most of her time doing the same grunt work and enduring the same drudgery as the regular low-paid drones. In fact, this crone's unrealistic superiority complex tempted me several times in passing, to viciously clothesline her. And just like her two other corporate counterparts, she's clownish and clueless. Add to that, the pay is barely over minimum wage, the benefits are laughable, and because SA is considered a religious entity, if you're let go or there's another scam-demic, you won't get unemployment benefits. So do yourself a favor. Unless you're a desperate low-life loser, give this slave-labor "opportunity" a pass.

Nothing particularly terrible here, just not much that's inspired…read more The New 2 You Shoppe had - on this morning - a very basic selection of everything. I've seen better at other local thrift stores, albeit perhaps one star. Grand Rapids' thrift scene is very basic. Whether it's that parishioners are donating used goods to their in-church ventures (as I've seen at a local faith based retirement home) or everything is used until it's used up, GR seems to be a hard market for fun thrift shopping. (Note: if you've seen this comment before, it's because I spent the morning hitting all the thrift stores in succession, and all of them were wanting of a good dose of donations, inspiration, and organizational pizzazz.)

Each time I've gone it seems that the clothes selection is for the wrong season. Going in July I was expecting a lot of tank tops, sundresses, and skirts. What I found was a lot of sweaters, pants, and long sleeve shirts. Prices were high as well. The store is organized very well by color and size which makes it easy to look for certain pieces. The staff were friendly as well! If you're looking for season specific pieces or cheaper pricing this is not the place for you.

The entrance leads to stairs to enter the space but I did note there was a handicap ramp for those in wheelchairs. The main floor was mostly Christmas stuff during our visit, along with incredibly outdated home goods, knick knacks, toys, sporting equipment, etc. We didn't see much that tickled our fancy, so we headed upstairs to see what goodies await. We were surprised to see even more furniture, plus some shoes, dresses, a very small selection of men's and women's clothes, books and kid's clothes. This would be a great spot to find a vintage kitchen table, hutch, dresser, sewing machine or dining room set. Everything seemed pretty aged. It wasn't a thrift shop with much to offer from the last 10-20 years, depending on the category. We realized on floor two that there was nothing here for us, so we skedaddled. If you're into vintage stuff, you may enjoy this thrift shop. If you're looking for newer/more modern stuff, you may want to skip this one. We thought prices were high for the age and condition of everything being offered.

I don't…read morealways love antique markets/warehouses as they can be quite congested and claustrophobic - not Elevated! The aisles are wide, the booths are nicely appointed, and there is lots of great natural light from all the windows. I love that they are arranged by "streets" with numbers for each booth, making it easy to remember where you saw something. There are lots of fun things to check out - I love the reading room that also features art from local artists. They have the ability to rent a shelf vs. a whole booth, which I thought was really cool. Possibly the best part - the free popcorn! I also really like the fun decor like the board game wall. Parking is ample on the street in front or the free lot across the street. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Elevated.

September 6th is their official Grand Opening but they are open to the public NOW. My father and I…read moreheard about this reinvented warehouse thrift/furniture store that opened and had to check it out. With parking directly in front of across the street both free of charge. The entrance was a little tricky to navigate. There was a colorful toy/deco arch far off to the left that we went to only to read a note that said Elevated entrance with and arrow pointing to the right. So we turned around and headed to what looked like an office building entrance but once we opened the door there was a black sign with a white E and an arrow to the right with a open door. At the entrance is an old school telephone booth, with either an elevator (ring the bell for service) or stairs. The stairs were super easy to navigate and we were at the top on no time. The minute we walked through the door there is this cool vibe that permeates throughout the establishment. The way the booths are spaced, decorated, and displayed was very unique giving me lots of space to move about and enjoy the thrift experience. I really enjoyed the use of game boards and how they decorated the walls. I plan on using that idea somewhere in my future. There were many items available from jewelry, dishes, clothing, furniture and list goes on. The air was moving with open windows and fans. Also there are four large dressing rooms available that are spacious and clean. We had the opportunity to speak with one of the proprietors of the establishment Heather. Getting her feedback on the space, wanting to create a unique shopping experience for the community melted my heart. Loved they provided free popcorn and all the time not feeling rushed giving the opportunity to enjoy and possibly find a hidden gem. We walked away with some cooking items and stickers but there was a VERY close call on an antique display cabinet that we are still considering going back for. Great value for all of it. Highly recommend to stop in especially September 6th!
