Such a cute little store with some great finds! I like how they have everything laid out separately…read morein different areas. All the clothing is separated into different racks by categories, i.e jackets, sweaters, blouses, etc. They also have a great accessory selection for bags, shoes, and jewelry and in the back there is a whole wall for children's clothes and toys. Everything is reasonably priced for a thrift store. I didn't spend more than $6 on a single item. The location is very convenient as well. Right on Potomac ave in Dormont and there is meter parking right out front of the store. The ladies that work there are very nice as well. They told us how they are volunteers and have been working there for years. This is a non-profit store and everything they don't sell within 60 days goes to homeless shelters and a lot of their profits go towards helping the animal shelters as well. The store has been around for 50+ years, which is amazing. The ladies said it originally started out as a trade store for items people didn't want anymore, hence the name. Very cool history and a great place to find a good deal! Will be back!

The ladies there were great and so helpful. We went for a wine glass painting session and it was a lot of fun. We painted two glass and there was different choices of glassware. I got to talkative and a little tipsy I couldn't finish my second glass before the session was over so the wonderful lady (sorry I'm bad with names) helped me finish my second glass! Thank you, I look forward to coming here for more events.

I absolutely love this community thrift store. The pricing is amazing, the selection is always…read morechanging, and there are so many great options every time I come in. You can really tell a lot of care goes into what they put on the floor, and I've found some incredible deals here over the years. That said, the only downside -- and it's a big one -- is the person who usually runs the register. I've been here multiple times, and I've had multiple interactions with the same woman, and unfortunately she is consistently rude, cold, and clearly unhappy to be dealing with customers. It honestly makes the checkout process uncomfortable and kind of dreadful. It makes me wonder why someone who seems so miserable would choose a job that involves constant interaction with people. This store is such a positive, community-focused place, and it deserves staff who reflect that same warmth. I'll keep coming back because the store itself is wonderful -- I just hope the customer service experience improves, because it's the one thing holding this place back from being truly perfect.

by far the worst company to work for. A non profit who claims to help so many people in need.. they…read moremost definitely do not help their employees. drivers for the Pittsburgh warehouse location in Penn Hills has the highest turnover rate I've ever seen at any job. The director of operations of the penn hills warehouse Bryan Engel is a selfless man who works for a catholic organization and does not care about anything besides money, treats his employees with disrespect and disdain. He raises budgets for stores and the warehouse and threatens employees for their jobs when certain demands are not met when employees cannot control the influx of donations to meet these certain demands. It's purely unacceptable for a non-profit company because that is not the mission described to the public. Not to mention he's not a catholic himself. certain employees who have been loyal to the company have no received a pay increase from $11/hr for 7 years per Bryan. purely unsustainable for todays economy. They also have a voucher system that claims to help families and individuals in need but get put on a waiting list for months and months at a time. their main goal is to make money for themselves and not for their employees or other people in need. Do not give the Penn hills store or warehouse any business because you will be severely disappointed. Their mattress company "Chicago mattress company" refurbishes used mattresses to be resold for hundreds of dollars. as well as their furniture And clothing. Take your business and applications elsewhere. if not you'll be severely disappointed.

Animal advocates is amazing. It's quite honestly a hidden gem and not a place I would have found on…read moremy own with out the aide of thrifting goddess friend of mine. A small shop not really made for more than 1 or 2 people at a time. It's also probably not ideal for small children. Additionally, mind the sign and open the door nice and slow as there is usually a cat or two hanging out inside and you don't want to let them out. It's has a mix of some clothes and a lot of weird nicknacks and miscellaneous items. The three rooms are filled to the brim and the prices are incredibly low. While it's not the type of place I'd go to fill out my winter or summer wardrobe, but it's great for unique finds.
