Ever since Second Chance Emporium moved to their new building, it's so much easier to shop there!…read moreIt's big and the aisles are wider, and they have a great variety of all kinds of things. You just have to either plan around when you go or be prepared to wait in a long line. Especially during the holiday season, for the first three or four hours the line is all the way to the back of the store and then all the way across the back. They have a big area to hold items, but even that fills up fairly quickly. The busiest time is definitely Friday morning so when I am just going to casually look around, I make sure it's in the afternoon. But they do have some great deals! The line does move fairly quickly and it gives you additional time to shop items along the way! They always have a lot of seasonal items.

What a nice resale store! We went there after eating at Citizens (so fun!), and I mentioned to the…read morewomen working there that we had eaten at Citizens. They told me if we show our receipt we get 20% off. I don't take receipts anymore bc they're covered in BPA. So they asked what we ate and then gave us the discount. We got all kinds of cute clothes and toys for the three year old, and a Free People top for one of us! Oh, and they have a small Christmas section where I got the cutest framed pic. Note that they moved locations recently so the map we used wasn't updated. New location is across the main road running through Hempstead from the big courthouse looking building. Check it out! Drop off donations any time in the alley next to their store. They're in need of jewelry at the moment which I plan to take with me next time.

I've tried shopping in this store twice now, and the prices are much higher than other thrift…read morestores. I'm grateful they are helping people, and the store looks very nice; but people don't shop in thrift stores to pay $22 for a pair of blue jeans ( no matter what brand they are). I was told by the employee " those are Ariats", so the nicer things are priced higher. They were the ones that were in his size and the ones he wears normally. I'd honestly rather run down to South Texas Tack and buy them brand new at full price before spending that on a used pair, that were already ragged at the bottom. It seems as things are donated to y'all, you would rather move the items quickly to make room for new items but instead I saw the same things sitting on shelves that were there when the store first opened (because the prices are too high). I even looked at a vase in the back, that was one that you receive flowers in and it was marked $6. It should have been $1-2 if it's at a thrift store. So if your looking for a true thrifting experience with great deals, this isn't your kind of place I promise you.

It reminds me of my Great Aunt's farmhouse with tons of antiques, quilts and trinkets. It's a lovely place to stay and I have wonderful memories there and can't wait to make new ones this coming year. The main house is massive and full of so much history. Every one of the cottages, barn and gardens are beautiful and inviting. The beds are quite comfortable and remind you of grandma's house the way they have them quaintly decorated. This location is a beautiful place for a get together with friends, retreat or just to get out of the city, take in the fresh air and relax. The heart behind this place is beautiful and the owners are lovely. Completely recommend!!!
