I've been in Plato's before in Virginia Beach and absolutely loved it! The one here has many items…read moreto chose from however I'm not that impressed. I was somewhat disappointed in the styles within the store and perhaps I'm comparing the two locations to harshly. A few of the clothes were in my opinion dated as well as the handbag area. The shoes in women's and men's were very nice . The store employees were very nice and greeted upon me going into the store. Perhaps I'll go back later on as they do get in clothes and other items all the time. We shall see... I would still recommend this place to others especially parents looking to save money for their children/teens just because I found some of the clothes to be a bit dated it doesn't mean that others will. So please do swing by there if you haven't and in the Jacksonville NC area.

She listens to feedback and will quickly find a dress that is the right style and fit for anybody type.this is my second year shopping with them for a Marine Corps Ball dress and i wish i would have found this store years ago.

It was worth the price not having to drive an hour to Wilmington or two hours to Raleigh again! If you want to get in, find a great dress and get on your way...this shop is doing it right!

Always fair prices with great selections BUT .. somebody hired a new person in charge of fair…read morepricing.. a HUGE FAIL. THEY KNOW NOTHIN ABOUT PRICING AND HAVE PRICED NESTLY ALL ITEMS WAY ABOVE WHAT USED ITEMS FAIR PRICING ONCE WAS. They get all merchandise FREE . DONATED.. so the profit margin is 100%...people with little $$$ or who love a bargain, once made out very well. From Cali to NC, I've shopped Salvation Army, donated to, and led many to their stores. They really need to ReThink how they are pricing and fire whomever decided that Bargins only apply to the Salvation Army.

So... do you want to run a "collectables/antique store" or do you want to run a "thrift store"?…read more#1. If you want to run a collectables/antique store the first thing you need to do is stop calling yourself a thrift store when pricing items as if you are running a collectables/antique store. #2. If you want to run a collectables/antique store items that you believe are valuable must be authenticated, cleaned up, displayed properly, and prices must be in line with the collectable or antique market values, whatever the market will bear at the time the item is being sold. Being a collectables/antique store requires expert level knowledge and attention to minute detail, unlike a thrift store. #3. Throwing things in a pile on filthy shelves with dollar store items and trash and pricing them like they are antiques or collectables without any of the proper steps outlined in #2 is simply an attempt to scam unwary consumers. #4. Props to you if you want to run a thrift store, this is a truly needed service in our community. Pricing needs to reflect the values of "thriftiness". No special attention needed for items you intended to sell in your thrift store. Just put the stock out and price as if it were a garage or estate sale of items of unknown value or quality. #5. Attempting to "police" your thrift store for "flippers" ends in the result described in #3. If you want to be a thrift store, be a thrift store, if you want to be a collectable/antique store, be a collectables/antique store. #6. This is HUGE, if your items have been donated, you received them FREE OF CHARGE! Think really hard about how you answer this... How can you, with a decent heart and soul, price your items so high that the ones who truly need them, can't afford them?? You're basically stealing from good-hearted souls who think a needy child will receive their donation at a very reasonable price...or an elderly person on a limited budget will be able to afford their donated items? You're ensuring that only resellers and collectors will be able to purchase the FREE items! You're making a huge profit off of FREE items that are donated for the needy! You simply don't get it or do you?

The walls are covered with the stunning work of local artists and shelves are adorned with beautiful baubles created by local hands. Over the years I have visited time and time again and I have never minded making the hour long drive to what has become my favorite fashion oasis. The girls that work there have always been patient with my indecisive nature and I always feel fabulous about my choices when I leave. Over the years, I have built up quite a collection of high quality clothing from Lula Balou and each piece looks as amazing now as the day I brought it home.
