Prices are great. People are friendly. My fiance and I go in there almost every Saturday after going to the chiropractor across the street, and eating breakfast next door at Empire's. I've gotten some really nice things for really awesome prices. And you can donate stuff too. We live on the same street, and walk down. It's very convenient and a nice part of our weekend routine
This is a great store! I was looking for thrift stores in the area that I haven't been to and this one came across google. The people that run this place are so nice and so helpful. They have such an amazing variety of stuff. It's a pretty big store, so you can easily always find something. Their prices are super Fair, there aren't many places in the area that can compete with the low prices these guys offer. There's so much merchandise, every time I go there's different stuff, so you got to buy what you want when you see it. The kind of stuff that's available: dishware, movies, Fabrics, toys, games, books, collectibles, men's clothes, women's clothes, kids clothes, shoes of all shapes and sizes, clothing accessories, purses/bags. I always make sure I keep a quarter in my car for the meter so if I'm passing by I can stop by and Shop a little. Thanks for being a great thrift store with great prices. Love this place and I highly recommend it.
Updating from 1 star....
This used to be a nice place. Steve and an older guy were very friendly and helpful. It went through a rough patch and is better now but still not the same.
There has been an adjustment since the new owners took over. But it’s great now. It’s organized but still great for hunting cool stuff. They are very affordable as well! I love to go on a thrifting hunting trip for unique items I can upcycle and this place never disappoints. The new owners bought it to support the community, which they continue to do. They even offer free food for those who need it. I am so glad this is right here for me.
Used to be a great place to shop but last time we were there, a large dog followed us around the store and barked loudly at us. He didn't look real happy that we were there. It was really uncomfortable. I love dogs and have no issues with a shop owner's dog being in the store, but strange dogs standing next to you barking as you're shopping was a bit worrisome especially when the people working there did nothing to stop it. Haven't been back.
Sketchy people. Sketchy place. This used to be a nice store. And it really did help the community. The latest owners have turned it into a burden on this town. There's a lot of drama there. Scary people work there. It's just horrible. I won't even go in the place. I used to like to go there. People have suffered dog bites. It's just insane. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.
I stopped over there today. It's nothing like it used to be there. Used to be a gentleman there named Steve. He was great and then there was an older man there. He was great. He used to fix computers and everything. We would go in there. We would buy a few things and he would tell us to make a deal now you go in and everything is priced. The people were rude. They were following you. I picked up a gate and asked how much it was. She goes. That's not for sale. I said well then maybe you should put it behind the counter or say it's not for sale. So with that I walked out. I will not be returning there anytime soon. I miss the old people that work there. Much better atmosphere. You can walk through the store before now. It's all cluttered and dirty. Anyway, missing Steven the other guy. Good luck in your future at your facility but I will not be returning
We had a good time looking through items and picking out some things for the kids. We had just gotten back to town after driving from CHoP and decided to let the girls pick some fun toys for themselves. At check out a gentleman was less than happy that the items we had picked up were from his section. As the section was not blocked off we had no idea, his angst made the girls uncomfortable however the woman who was there with her service dog (assuming owner) told him she would make things right for him and allowed the girls to keep their new toys. We did venture to the larger spot across the street were we found some items for the house and some new clothes as well. Great set of shops and everyone minus the one older guy was very nice, despite his attitude we did enjoy the locations and will return. The idea of the location is great and I hope they follow through with the mission statements posted on the walls. If they do we will certainly return as giving back to the community is a great service needed in the area. All in all a good visit and the girls love the toys!
Where do I start? I ran, created, gave so much of my time to make it what it was. I’m not one to bash but I was in a car accident back in October. I sent the owner Pastor Scott (AKA Pastor bucks) a photo of my heavily damaged car and let him know that I would be going to the hospital. The following morning he responded with “sorry just seen this, will you be making it in today?” Not, are you ok? Can I help? Nothing. After dealing with the injuries, specialist and everything else, still no call to check in on someone who poured an exasperating amount of hours for him and the community to make this place special. Do yourself a favor and bring your donations to somewhere that actually cares and uses the proceeds respectively and ethical. He even had the nerve to tell people that he fired me. I am not going to continue to say things that would tarnish the name. Although, I should.
Went here not realizing they have two establishments, one on both sides of the street. Found great finds, owners were pleasant, and walked away both times with a box full of items (back to back days). They have things I never knew I wanted but glad I got. If I’m ever back in PA, I will for sure go back to see what else they have.
Really unpleasant experience. Called the day before to ask if he had room for more inventory as I was looking to donate my deceased mother’s belongings. He was less than friendly on the phone, but said to bring them over. Then when we brought the items the following day he was equally unpleasant. Rolling his eyes as we walked through the door carrying 4-5 large boxes to DONATE. Proceeded to chastise us and ask if we had even told him we were coming. Not even a half-hearted condolences from the guy who is going to make money off of our memories. As if getting rid of a lifetime of my mom's items wasn’t hard enough, donating them to this establishment had me feeling even worse. I just hope the people who find those items love them, but I won’t be back.
This review is completely REAL as I am NOT associated with this Thrift Store in any way. That said; THIS Thrift Store is nothing short of AMAZING!!!!! Worth the drive from wherever you are in the Lehigh Valley! Wonderful "friendly" people running it, SUPER AFFORDABLE and THRIFTY pricing, I see a GREAT future ahead for them! I for sure will make it my FAVORITE Thrift Store! I will drive from Easton "happily" because it is worth the drive as they are UNBEATABLE in "goodies" you find, and PRICING! Please keep-up the good work there, for WE will come!!!
I love This store was extremely Happy with the items I bought, I mean EXTREMELY HAPPY...and the prices unbelievable. and the stuff they have a true Treasure. And the owners are So Nice ,sweet And Helpful. I live in New York, there in Bangor P,A but I promise u this ,once u go there .u won't want to go back to any other thrift store Nice Clean Organized..Family environment. Can't wait to go back to Bangor to say Hello and shop.and if your thinking is the 2 hour trip worth it. Well let me tell you Darlings. OH YES it is. Happy shopping..
Variety of things in both stores. But what really made me give it 5 stars are the people that work there. Both gentlemen had amazing customer service, and were easy to talk too. Giving it a homey feel
