I came in here looking for a cute gaudy little ring and had a hard time leaving without everything in the store. The selection is so fun! I felt as though everything was very reasonably priced and the staff were very helpful. I was able to find the perfect ring (for a lower price than I found anywhere else). I need to go back for the rest of their jewelry.

the one worker was very rude. it made me feel uncomfortable, she moved my stuff from the fitting room before i was done. When i wanted to buy a dress that did not have a price tag, she just threw the dress away. like in the trash instead of sell it. oh and did i mention she called my sister and i a mess?

What a fun thrift store! We stopped by to browse while family was in town. This was such a fun store- and we were so surprised at how big it was! They had so many cool things- for men and women and a huge selection of fun costumes to rent just in time for Halloween. So happy we stopped- I’m going to be checking back here from time to time just to see what else they have!!
