This thrift store is not for everyone! Half the time, it's not even for me. But we stop here…read moresometimes when we're in the area because it is weird and cheap and every now and then it has some bargains.
OK, so first off, the store is not nice inside, and it is basically whatever temperature it is outside, so often that's not very comfortable. It's pretty dingy inside, with dusty, packed shelves that look like they're about to fall over. The right half of the store is clothing, and the left half of the store is... everything else: shoes, glassware, knick-knacks, office supplies, ancient travel-size soap bars, whatever. Oh, and it's kind of smelly.
Some stuff has price tags, but a lot of it doesn't. There are a few signs on the wall giving prices by type of clothing, but a lot of the time I end up going to ask what the price is. The quality varies widely - some stuff is pretty used and ratty, and some stuff still has crossed-out Goodwill tags on it, so you know he gets part of his inventory from the Goodwill bins. Customer service is pretty minimal, and there are no returns.
So why do I even bother coming here?? Trust me, I ask myself that too. It's just a fascinatingly random assortment of stuff, and every now and then you do find something good. If you're the kind of thrifter who likes pawing through random old junk, you'll enjoy the bizarre garage-sale feel of this place.
Definitely not in my top-tier list of Tacoma thrifts, but it is weird and interesting.
