The HUB is the nerve center of Challis, Idaho. It looks and acts like your typical thrift store…read more Indeed, that's why everyone's there--to buy bargains unheard of anywhere but Challis. But The HUB is so much more--it's where people go to gossip--to learn the latest--to catch up with friends--to keep the proverbial "ear to the ground." In the meantime, of course, they are soaking up life's best thrift store deals. The HUB--where practically everything is fifty cents. It's the only thrift store we've ever experienced where there's practically always a line waiting for the door to open at noon. That's when the Challis siren wails--noon. And, fittingly, The HUB's door swings wide once again for the Faithful to swarm inside on a bargain hunting rampage. The HUB is a department store, five and dime, and Ladies Social Club all rolled into one slightly stuffy former flower shop. When people throughout Custer County compliment one another on an article of clothing, 99% of the time the response will be, "I got it at The HUB." The complimenter usually asks, "Fifty cents?" And the complimentee almost always replies, "Yep, fifty cents" The HUB is run by a group of Challis women who live and breathe for their weekly hours behind The HUB counter. Collectively, they are a walking talking Challis wikipedia. Need to know anything about Challis or one of its maybe not-so-famous residents? Just go ask a few polite questions at The HUB.

2 years ago I went to Mager Bargains because it was recommended by someone I knew. This person had…read morenever bought any products from Mager but I thought it sounded like a good deal and went there because I needed a new refrigerator and needed it today. I wanted a top or bottom fridge but he only had side by side available. Against my better judgment I bought this fridge for 600 bucks. I could have bought a new one for 200 dollars more but I needed a fridge today. The fridge worked fine for a few months but started stopping and starting at different times. I lost a lot of food in my freezer and fridge because this piece of junk wasn't reliable. Of course the 60 day warranty wasn't in effect so I lost my money. Big deal. Almost any appliance will last for 2 or 3 months. A year warranty is usual for many new appliance. I almost laugh that the owner wanted to pray with me and I said yes. I'm not mocking his religion I'm mocking him. I believe in Jesus but I believe we should try to live up to the gospel Paul preached. I did buy a stove from Mager and it's worked quite well for me. But, I just can't recommend his store from my own experiences. At least for fridges. I'd say pay the extra money and buy a new fridge.
