We were traveling through the area and needed a replacement cord and charger so we pulled into the Family Dollar parking lot and saw Trade It! We are not from the area and never heard of this store before, so we went inside to check it out.
When you walk in there is a good sized vestibule with a counter to your right. We were greeted warmly by a lovely woman with striking red hair who was helping a customer at the counter. I quickly realized that the gentleman she was helping was trying to sell her a small refrigerator, We continued straight through another set of double doors into the store portion where items are being sold. It's actually a really cool concept. For people not from the area, think "Once upon a child" where you sell your baby stuff and other people can buy it without paying department store prices. You get paid, the store gets paid and people in need save money.
All the employees we spoke to were really friendly and helpful. You can tell a lot about a business by the people it hires and how well they work together and with customers. We were able to get the things we needed at a good price. A new cord, still in the packaging that works great and a few other items I saw while inside.
By the time we left, the front room was crowded with people waiting to sell things. This seems like a popular store in the area and you can feel good about shopping somewhere that really helps the community. I would definitely return to this store and I recommend you stop in and check it out if you haven't already. read more
