Bearcub Outfitters is the local Petoskey equivalent of REI in a bigger town and I am a fan!…read more On a recent trip to the area, I popped in on the hunt for a long sleeve shirt for my son and not only did I find what I was looking for, I found a variety of options. Prices are fair but if you're on the hunt for a bargain, don't miss the sale rack in the back. I loved perusing the women's section of the store for myself although I ultimately did not purchase for me this time. Staff is friendly and helpful. Bearcub is for sure worth a stop if you're in the Petoskey area!

Mixed feelings about this store. It's very clean and well organized, it's kind of got the vibe of a…read moresmall version of clothes mentor if you've ever been to that chain. The selection is pretty good and fairly fashionable/current but the prices are a bit high for a second hand store. There are little sections of what appears to be handmade jewelry around the store which is really pretty. The thing that turned me off most to this store was the sign in the dressing room yelling at the customer to put back the clothes they try on. What? What self respecting store does that? It's just pure laziness. I don't think even gold mine forces their customers to put their clothes back on the rack and they're a charity and volunteer run! You're also greeted by a "no public bathroom" sign before you even step in the door which just makes it seem really unwelcoming. If I was the owners/workers (listen up guys!) I would take down that sign and if anyone asks for a bathroom then you say "sorry we don't have one, but there's one down the block in front of park side deli". That way you're being helpful and not accusatory. As for the dressing room sign, come on. I get it it can get busy but you're asking your customers to do your job for you. If you really can't for whatever reason find yourself to put the clothes back, a sign hat says "In this busy summer season, it would be very helpful to us if you could return clothes to where you found them after trying them on. Thank you :)"

Though there is some history that shouldn't be repeated and that we all have to work with together to tell a new story. I'm speaking to the overt and offensive racism I overheard the workers there speaking while I was in the store. I honestly have never heard such direct discriminatory stereotyping in my life. Maybe they thought it was OK because I am a 'white' person, but we are all people and it is not OK. I can't consciously return to or recommend this store until it is a safe space that respects and reflects the beauty and diversity of people the way it does with the things for sale there. Thank you.

New Beginnings Thrift Store Review…read more I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it misses the mark as a true thrift store. Prices are VERY high--often at or even above retail for many items, which defeats the purpose of shopping secondhand. You're better off buying brand new in some cases. The selection of quality items is meager, with most of the inventory being either outdated, worn, or simply overpriced for the condition it's in. It feels more like a boutique trying to cash in on the thrift trend than a store genuinely serving the community with affordable options. If you're looking for real bargains or hidden gems, this probably isn't the place.

Oh my gosh, just go! I found so many things that I didn't know that I needed. The reviews are…read moreright, some of the prices are high, particularly on furniture, but they are willing to negotiate. I found LOTS of items in my thrift store price range. The store is huge, but well organized.
