What clients say about Iona-Hope's One More Time in Fort Myers (FL)
I was there today 5/28/26 for the first time this is an awesome place to come too , very clean and organized . The ladies are very sweet and helpful , I will be returning
The best of the best! Friendly staff , excellent management. Everything is cleaned , pressed and displayed beautifully .
The quality of the furniture is usually excellent. They have a fantastic Black Friday sale .Don’t miss this store !
I had a bunch of things that I was donating. I usually go to other places, but I felt that I wanted to go to a resale shop that was Church driven as I approached the back door. There was an elderly man. He was not happy that I had arrived. He came out with a shopping cart and then he says what are you got here I said I have clothing and some other stuff. Do you have it sorted, he asked???
Do you have all the women’s stuff together and all the men’s stuff together because you know we have to sort it. I must’ve been in a good mood because I didn’t argue with the man. I just said to him well when you open the bag you could tell which is men’s are which items are women’s, I said they’re stacked they’re not interchangeable all the men’s are on the bottom. All the women’s are on top blah blah blah. My husband was not happy. He said I should take the stuff and gone somewhere else and donated. it is free stuff that people donate so the Church can make money. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth when people are donating the things graciously take them and thank the customer!!!
The man mentioned next time I can mark the bags womens or mans. Too funny. I might as well hang the items sort mens from womens and open up my own shop.
This is a friendly reminder, FREE is FREE your making the money do the work!!!
This is a great thrift store with upscale offerings. I have bought some really nice European men's shirts, good linens, a Calphalon saucepan, books and other items. I missed out on a really nice set of patio furniture, but I hesitated and it was gone the next day. The volunteers are all very helpful and friendly, the store is very clean and the prices are fair. They have an entire room dedicated to holiday decorations. They also have a great selection of furniture,, dishes, clothing and household items.
Out of the many thrift stores I visited on vacation this was by far my favorite. They had a lot of $1 clothing as well as a wide arrangement of other things. As we were checking out, my girlfriend inquired about a lower price on an item with a small stain. The employee stated that they usually don't do that but ended up giving us half off of the item. We really appreciated the awesome customer service and deals!
I always get to this shop when I visit the area. I have enjoyed wonderful jewelry, clothing and useful items like suitcases and vases. Great friendly staff and reasonable prices. A winner!!
Spent the day going to thrift stores with my mom and husband today. We arrived at Iona's Thrift store at 3:37. As we walked in the ladies at the counter let us know they were closing in 20 minutes. As we knew what we were looking for, we started shopping. Just over 5 minutes into the technically 23 minutes we should have had, a message went over the intercom letting customers, us, know that they were closing in 10 minutes (in reality the time was about 17 minutes until they were officially supposed to close. Not more than a minute after the 10 minute announcement, a woman walked by my husband and told him the store was closing in 5 minutes... It was 14 minutes to 4. We had been in the store for about 8 or 9 minutes of the original 23 we started with. I put the books I had picked out down in frustration, my husband put the shorts he was planning to buy back on the rack, and we walked to the door where a woman gave a fake smile and locked the door behind us as she told us to come back next week. My mom told me as we got in the car that she heard one of the ladies saying they had "to get these people out so they could close". I was extremely annoyed. If the store says it is open until 4, then you are open until 4! If there was a need to close early, simply let people know as they come in that you need to close and that you are sorry for any inconvenience. The employees obviously had better things to do than sell items in their store... I will be sure to have better things to do as well! Like shop anywhere but there!
