What a hidden treasure! It's almost overwhelming the number of rooms and things available at very reasonable prices. I picked up a pair of new looking Chaco sandals for $4. Tons of books, DVDs, dishes, and other items. They also have a great rewards system for regular shoppers.
On our Northern Minnesota Thrift Trip, we came across this gem. Located in a large building with an old gym and auditorium, each area well-organized and filled with treasures. A shoes/clothing area, toys, books, Christmas, furniture/home goods, and a garage/sporting goods man-cave.
Very well displayed, priced, and presented. Watch for daily deals on different colored tags. WELL worth a stop!
This used to be the best thrift shop around but they have jacked their prices up so much that I have actually found items new at Walmart and dollar tree for less than they are charging and the furniture prices are absolutely astronomical now. What a waste. Especially since everything is donated so they are just being that greedy
Very good selection of furniture, tools, books, dishes, clothes, and decorations. You can find almost anything you need here, and it is organized very well. Neat little find in Akeley and definitely a must-visit.
Last year and all the years previous I would have given ARCC five stars for sure if I ever thought to review it. In the last year or so they have significantly revamped the store and it's looking excellent! Love how it's been opened up and there is more room. Prices have gone up some which is to be expected. Some prices are absolutely bonkers though unfortunately, which brings down my rating a bit. But the primary reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is the Christian music!!! It is absolutely terrible and as far as I know ARCC is not a Christian organization nor is the money raised here used for Christian means. I thought it was a community based program. I am so happy to support community based fundraising, but not if I have to listen to tortuous music the whole time I'm there. I cannot overstate how much of a bummer that choice of music is. I urge you, ARCC, PLEASE play literally anything else!
The arcc is always a nice place and they've made it nicer and bigger I'm very proud of being part of the city for having it.it helps the community a lot
It's very clean .very decent prices also
Way bigger than expected! Great selection! Hard to believe something like this exists in such a small town. Nice people. Well worth your time! Reasonably priced.
What a nice and clean place to do some thrift shopping. All money goes to the local food shelf. The ladies were very kind and welcoming. Nice to have a store to shop at in a small town. I will be going back!
