Very rude owner, no selection, yard sale dollar bin style clothes. Don't bother. Nothing above Walmart or Kohls merchandise.

I love this little store for its friendly, helpful staff and great prices; there's almost always some sort of sale going on (last time I visited, February 2015, EVERYTHING was 50% off!). As with all thrift shops, the selection can be hit-or-miss: I've gone home empty-handed some days, while on others I found dozens of items I was looking for. There are some absolute gems hidden in the racks -- you just have to have the patience to look through them. They have a few "dedicated" racks for special, higher-end items, like the "all-Chico" rack, which makes it easier to find things. Someone in another review mentioned the kids' clothing -- FYI, they no longer sell children's items, which frees up lots of space for more adult clothing. One suggestion: I do wish it was easier to get to the shoes: Some are on racks, but many are mixed into Rubbermaid-type bins, which makes it tough to see what's buried on the bottom without pulling everything out :-/ read more

I went into this store a few years back and the store had flooded which caused it to have a terrible mildew odor. I found a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes that were on sale for 50% off that day and the store clerk refused to sell them to me. I have repeatedly outlined my experiences on thriftshopper.Com only to have it removed by their webmaster. Store has never apologized for how they treated me. read more

This is a good (though not great) consignment store located in downtown Pennington. It is actually owned by the Unitarian Universalist Church (which uses the profits for charity). There is a manager who is affable and chatty in a Northeastern kind of way and then lots of other volunteers. They have men's, women's and children's clothes, shoes and accessories (including jewelry, purses, and scarves and winter accessories) as well as a few home decorating pieces (picture frames, prints, lamps, decorative dishes & bowls, etc.). As with any consignment or thrift shop, it is hit or miss. The standards for what they will take here, though, are a little lower than most consignment shops, but higher than what you'll find in most thrift stores. So, things will have a little more wear and be a little older and you should definitely do a thorough stain check, but bargains are to be had by the dedicated shopper. My mom once found a like new Burberry skirt (in the signature plaid). I've also found several designer purses and one pair of Dansko shoes. In general, the kids clothes are even shabbier and dated than the adult ones, so I wouldn't bother coming here if you are just interested in kids stuff. In general it has more of a yard-sale/thrift feel to it, than a consignment store feel. As I noted, they do run this as a consignment business, so you can consign your clothes with them (which I have also done several times). You make an appointment and then bring everything in and they'll go through it before you leave and give you what they don't want (or already have too much of). Then at the end of the season (four to five months later), you'll receive one check in the mail with your portion of what sells. They also give you the option up front to simply donate your items to the store and have your profits go to the church. You can also donate whatever sells (so you won't have to go pick it up if it doesn't sell). I can't remember whether or not you have the option to pick up what doesn't sell (everything that I've sent there in the past I've been willing to part with whether or sells or not, so I didn't want the bother of coming back.). Also, note that this store closes down for several weeks at time in-between seasons. I believe they'll do a big bag sale in January, then shut down for several weeks in February (during which they clean out the store, send out checks from the fall/winter and get ready for spring), then they'll start appointments for the spring in late February/early March (you will have to call several weeks ahead of time to get your appointment time). Then, they'll also shut down in July, after a bag sale, too, and reopen in August. read more

This store is JAM PACKED with selection. You can definitely find a diamond in the rough here, no doubt! PROBLEMS: 1. low quality of clothing: stains, tears, rips, overall YUCK factor & UGLY. 2. high prices. IF the store has SO MUCH, the prices should be much lower in order for items to SELL & get out of the way for more merchandise. I've worked consignment & KNOW that with lower prices, this store would do MUCH better!! I seriously can't shop here; it's so stressful digging through the mountains. read more

I attempted to make a $15 purchase here, until I was notified by the cashier that the minimum purchase with a credit/debit card is 25(!) dollars. I can understand a $5 or $10 minimum (which I believe is the maximum amount that is legally permitted by VISA and Mastercard), but a $25 minimum at a consignment shop seems like a pretty transparent attempt at higher purchase volume. When I made it clear that I did not have that cash on me, the salesperson directed me to an ATM rather than offering to let it slide, essentially requesting that the customer pay a much higher bank fee than the one that the business was so unwilling to incur by running the card. I have shopped here before, but they have lost my business with their highly questionable policy. read more

this place is great. My 16 year old granddaughter manages to find wonderful name brand clothing. I almost never walk out of there empty handed. The service is great and the people are friendly. read more
