I enjoyed browsing around, looking at all the vintage items for sale. Noticed a doily that I wanted, but didn't buy because I had spent money at the fair. A few weeks later I went back, and yay it was still there! Feels good to upcycle while supporting small business. Prices aren't bad, if in the area, pop in and check it out.

Let me start off with what seems to be the elephant in the Yelp room about this store, the lady who…read moreruns it. I don't mind her style because she isn't about being in your face while you shop. She gives you the freedom to look around without that feeling of being watched. This means she might not greet you as you walk into the store or asking "may I help you find something?", again I'm okay with that. Now onto the shop. It's always fun to browse clothing, I'd say it's one of my addictions to do so. I did walk away with two items that I'm overall pleased with. Her prices seem a high, but I double checked on eBay, and they were actually going rate. Led me to supporting local business. I want to go back and buy a scarf, but!!!! all the scarfs are $20, so I'm going to wait till my next pay period to purchase it. During my transaction with the lady, she was nice, no issues. Overall 3 stars for making me a repeat customer.

Visiting from out of town. Waited and waited for the store to open at 12:30p.. most stores in the…read morearea opened around 10a & 11a. We decided to eat brunch and wait for them to open for perfect timing to check it out then get back on the road. We go in and check out the things past the window items that had intrigued us to wait. Stuff in here is overpriced product from companies like SHEIN. The old lady who said she owns the place, made me feel like I was stealing a necklace that I grabbed out of the case to look at. I put it on in front of her to look at myself in the mirror, and I carried it with me to decide whether I wanted it for sure. I then put it back where I got it from and she continued to watch me. When I looked around the register area for knickknacks, she asked me where the necklace was in a very rude way. I told her I had put it back and she said, "oh really?" I asked her if she was insinuating that I wanted to steal it, she very rudely said, "well, you don't have to shop here". ARE YOU SERIOUS LADY?!! I told her that she needed to calm her ass because there are people out there who will not put up with that attitude.

**This review is for donating household items**…read more In the Peninsula, you can drop off donations at a couple of locations including this thrift store. This location accepts household items, no clothes(!), and there is a note about bagging/boxing donation items. See photo for drop-off hours. ARRIVAL & PARKING There is a dedicated parking lot for the Thrift Center which is my primary reason for the high rating! To get here, you'll need to find that strip of pavement between the Shell Gas station and the next door business, and you'll see the parking lot on the left.

My sweetie took me here a while back. The store owner was friendly and attentive. However, I saw…read moreso much stuff in this little tiny store. It was clutters of stuff and we were the only customers there at the time. To be honest, some of the stuff there probably should be just thrown away like worn out shoes and books in a shed that probably has mildew on them. Each time I did find something to buy, the owner kept on checking on her phone for a similar item's price. Apparently, most prices here are not set and the owner decides once the customer asks. I saw some hats I liked in a box marked $2 each, she told me that only some of the hats were that price. I found a kid's sweater that was from the 1990s and showed wear, she wanted $10 for it because it was apparently designer. Seriously?!? Also my sweetie wanted to buy a doll for his mother for mother's day and again the store owner had to compare pricing for it online. She gave him a price but would not budge on the price, my sweetie and I debated about it...was it worth it? Could we find another collectible doll at a different thrift store for less? Well my sweetie ended up buying it. His mom loved it. But we both think there are better deals elsewhere. I also have a feeling that the owner here sizes people up to see by how they dress and act to determine the price she would sell the item to them. This small thrift store is hidden in the back behind other businesses. I get the impression that most items for sale here have been in the store for years. There is an awesome collection of vintage phones but who wants an old landline phone? There are not only worn out shoes, but clothing that has seen better days. The aisles are cluttered, narrow and cramped. It is difficult to walk through them. Also as there is no fitting rooms, there should have been at least a long mirror to see yourself while trying on clothing, but there was none. When you buy used clothing, you are taking a huge chance as clothing can have shrunk, have unraveled stitching, stains, alterations, cigarette or sweat smell, have holes and other issues- trying on clothing is the best way to examine clothing before purchase. There is no way to do that here. I would not even know where i could simply stand with a few chosen articles of clothing to try on over my own clothing here. As I said, my sweetie and I were the only customers in the store at the time. I get the impression as well that it does not get much business at least lately. And yet, her prices are generally high. I do not even know how a store like this one can stay in business!

Donation: You gotta go on WALNUT st, cross Stambaugh st. and swing around to the side they are accepting, do not block the parking garage or lots! Pull all the way up as you can and let them help you with their carriers or getting things out of your car- its top tier service! They rarely have limitations on items they do not accept, but if you can sort/categorize together, it is helpful for them. They also precisely audit and edit the supplies they are given and allocate impeccably, which is helpful for me to know at least. I feel really good when I donate here, like it is going somewhere much more than another selling platform, but employees or charities or whatever. Plus, the team/employees generously select items properly (unlike goodwill) and it all goes to Red Cross which I have been PERSONALLY funded by before. It's a win win for me, and HOPE or you as well. Inside, well...I've given exceptional items to resell here so I can attest to the quality of particulars, come and get some really cool shiz! Please donate here and check the place out for thrift buying...they have coupons and their charity source is not only reputable but extraordinary.
