Recently discovered this gem and still want to gate keep it, yet I suppose I'll share the goodness…read more Clothes Mentor has multiple locations. The Woodbury location in particular shares a big parking lot with other neighboring establishments such as Schuler Shoes and the Dollar Store. There's always a spot so worrying about parking is non existent. The selection and prices of items are outstanding. My favorite section is the set area where they sell a top and matching bottom whether it be a PJ set, summer set or just a relaxed leisure set. Being pregnant, I bought 3 sets and I'm currently adoring my most recent one which is so soft and cozy. The service is typically good as each time I have visited, I've always gotten a greeting when entering. There is a loyalty program for free which stacks points up and will send you a coupon for your birthday along with helpful emails about seasonal sales, etc. There are tons and tons of racks for clothes that go all the way up to 3X which shows me this spot is inclusive. It's been extremely helpful as my size is fluctuating while pregnant. In the handful of times I've shopped, I've scored Sorel tennis shoes, a simple black jumper I wore to a wedding, earrings, cozy green jumper and high heels that I wore to my baby shower. There are some name brands and also generic items too. I favor reused and recycled items so to me, this is a winner. There are handbags, backpacks, accessories, shoes and fitting rooms. I can't wait to continue shopping here. Note: I have never tried to sell anything here and don't plan to. I usually donate my items to other places. Thank you, Clothes Mentor!!

I really like this thrift store, it doesn't feel like your average thrift store. Everything is very…read moreclean and organized here. You definitely need time to look around. Lots to look, they organize by men and women's, shoes, shirts, pants, dresses. Sorted by size. Easy to look for what you want. Everything is clean and in style. They really are picky on what items they take in. When I was here they were doing an athletic drop so lots of lululemon items were available. Easy to try on clothes here too. You can try to sell your stuff but they really want good condition and styles within the last 3 years. Prices are pretty good, they take higher end brands so it's a little bit pricier for some items but still great deal considering the conditions they take. You might get lucky and find something really unique. The girls here are super nice too. They even helped me carry my stuff to my car they didn't take. Very nice of them!

I brought in 2 bags to consign which they went through in probably 30 mins. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The shop was SO clean and organized. Possibly the most well kept consignment shop I've ever been to. I got a great pay out and of course took it as store credit for a little extra and traded in for some new pieces. Couldn't recommend Uptown enough!

Massive selection! I learned today that Buffalo Exchange moved out of Minneapolis due to crime and…read moreconstruction on the former road. They are now located in Saint Paul on Snelling and I'm thrilled as a STP girly. My friend introduced me to the shop after she scored some cowboy boots for a themed party. We visited together on a Sunday and were able to snag some fun deals including a swimming suit, a dress I plan to wear for Halloween, and some tops. Buffalo Exchange sells both men and women's clothing along with shoes and accessories. Pricing is fair and the interior is clean and well organized. The staff is friendly and helps bring items to the dressing room to try on and write your name on a big board. Upon purchase, you will be handed a token if you don't take a bag or bring your own bag. From there, you get to pick a charity of your choice to donate a percentage of your purchase to with no extra fees included. Amongst favoring second hand wear, I also support Buffalo Exchange's mission and variety of items. I look forward to finding more gems very soon. Welcome to Saint Paul!!!

What a fabulous little consignment thrift store! I'd spotted it a few months back, but finally made…read morea pilgrimage today while I was in the area. I was greeted on entry by one of the employees, who kindly explained that each little section was its own thing based on what people brought in (I've seen antique shops laid out this way, so I was familiar with this style of shopping). He let me know that anything I wanted to try on I could just grab and take to the back at my own leisure, or if I wanted him to hold onto anything in the front to free up my hands as I browsed, he could do that too. For those that make clothing decisions along gender expression lines, FYI this store leans femme, probably 80% or more; most of the shop isn't masc. I'll honestly wear whatever fits and imo looks good on me, so no worries here. I was lightly amused when the employee took one look at my dude self and assured me there was "some Harley Davidson stuff and Carhartt" in the back, LOL. So anyway, I ended up buying a bunch of different colored tie-dye crop tops. X'D (All for only three bucks a piece! Steal!) The shop is well-lit and has natural lighting as well, which makes the shopping experience feel relatively light and airy, especially for a thrift store. The aisles are a little tight, but that just means more great stuff to search through and find thrifted treasure! I was especially impressed by the roomy and almost elegant styled dressing rooms, which were far more pleasant than most dressing rooms I'm accustomed to-- you know the ones... cramped, under fluorescent lighting... ugh. So these dressing rooms were a real breath of fresh air! They even had a little area just beside them with comfy chairs and toys for your spouse or kiddo to wait while trying things on. There is also a gender neutral bathroom available towards the back. Even checkout was fun, as interacting with the employees was pleasant. The male employee was thoughtfully considering aloud that I, also a dude, was buying cute crop tops, and I ended up encouraging him to consider showing off a little belly in our upcoming warm weather, letting him know I'd been encouraging my own husband to show off his cute bod. I love when I can go someplace and help break down a few silly gender norms while supporting local biz-- doesn't get much better than that! I maybe wish I'd discovered this place sooner! (Though perhaps my wallet is glad I didn't, lol.) I'm sure to be back in the future. And maybe I'll even inquire when they'll have a consignment opening... I have some stuff I should probably rotate out of my closet, including some plushies that deserve a new loving home. And that's the magic of thrifting! I'll stop raving now. You should check this place out, pronto!

Parking was plentiful. The store is super clean and not cluttered. Stop in and maybe you'll find a treasure or 2 or 3.
