Customer comments:
“When I walked in, it was so clean and displayed so nicely, I can’t believe it’s a thrift store and the prices are cheaper than anywhere I have been.”
“It really feels like shopping in an upper-scale boutique but with garage sale prices, and even cheaper than garage sales on many things !”
