I had a really lovely and easy experience with Riding Electric. They were very responsive to my…read morecommunication and very friendly to deal with. The Leelanau Trail was inches away from the shop which was incredibly convenient. The trail is a delightful mix of shade and sun, and very well maintained. The bike was in good shape and pretty fun to ride. My only complaints are the weight of the bike and no easily accessible water bottle holder. The heft of the bike made taking off a little bit of a challenge. So when trying to cross one of the many roads that bisect the trail it was a little stressful trying to get myself moving quickly. The bike did have a large saddle bag that held my water bottle and could have held a book, bathing suit, lunch, etc if I had been riding to the Suttons Bay beach (which is what I'll do next time!).

You can tell they truly love what they do, and give you that "mom and pop" service that is so rare to find nowadays. We thought we left our car keys on the boat so Hank came back to pick up my husband to take him back on the boat. It wasn't there, but thankfully we found them in one of the hidden pockets of our daughter's backpack. The next day Teresa called to make sure we found them. Who does that? Thank you again Hank and Teresa for being such gracious people. Keep up the great work that you do, and here's to more great years running your business! Maybe someday we will run into you down at the Keys during the winter. Cheers!

Awesome experience for renting kayaks! My boyfriend and I stopped at Torch Lake on our way up to…read morethe Upper Peninsula. We only had one day & we knew we wanted to rent kayaks. We stayed at Chain O' Lakes campground so Alden Marine & Sport was only around 10 minutes away. We went in, said we only had a couple of hours to kayak, we paid, they packed them in the truck & we followed the truck to the drop off point, which was only 1 mile down the road. Fast, friendly service, exactly what we needed that morning! So easy & no hassle. Definitely recommend!

I've shopped here for several years. It is one of the cleanest and best organized thrift stores in…read moreTC. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Like most thrift stores, the stock is a decent mix of nice things and junk, and that's the fun of the hunt. They have clean fitting rooms, something that other stores have eliminated. All these great things are reasons why I hope they see this long-winded review, because I would love to be able to enjoy shopping here again. As it is now in fall 2026, I can't pay these prices! Over the past year or so, they have increased prices to a laughable degree. They mark up all clothing and shoes with mid-level brand names (Eddie Bauer, WHBM, Talbots, Prana, etc.), or crappy brands that are new with tags (Basic Editions, H&M). It doesn't matter how dated or damaged the items are. Obviously they have someone in the back whose job is to look this stuff up online and then price it the same waY--seemingly unaware of the fact that online sellers: PAY for the item in the first place; pay listing fees, sales fees, transaction fees; have to cover preparation, storage, and shipping time & supplies. They also pay income tax on those sales. This is all baked into the price online. I'm not sure what logic is at work in this store's pricing strategy. If they are trying to discourage resellers, it's working--and they're losing a lot of business because of that. Regular people do not go to a thrift store expecting boutique or consignment pricing. Price these donated goods to actually sell, and keep cash flowing in! There are things that have been on the rack for months. The stock is stagnant because of the prices. I lost it today after seeing used shoes for $75 and a pilled polyester fall coat for $40. I want to love this place, but I'm done until they get more realistic about pricing.

Located on a hill, next to a Verizon, this is a well organized resale shop, with plenty of cute treasures, but also practical kitchen items. Dishes and glasses galore! Very clean and well organized. I bought two puzzles (like new) and a funny mug ("I'd rather be drinking Tequila), for a total of $5. Since my sister had been there before, she knew there was another space around the back (you have to leave the main store and walk to the back) and this space has furniture, art, decor, and essentially a doll/toy room (not too scary, lol). I would not have known about this, had she not been there.
