      Really great staff always smiling and wanting to help you. They also get excited when you find something good.

      I've been to a lot of thrift shops and this one was very well priced. I purchased a lamp and a fondue pot for under $10 all together.

      Great selection of china if you ever need to get a set for your apartment or family gathering.

      Great selection of frames and woman's clothing

      Will be coming back in my ventures

      **May 2023: Tuesday Afternoon Visit**

      This is a fantastic thrift shop that has a little bit of everything. Most of the women's clothing were all priced at $2 and sectioned by style - skirts in one section, pants another etc. There is a boutique section that does have items all individually priced and I thought the tags were fairly priced. I was looking for garments for costume outfits and found a couple of items that would work including two skirts and a hat ($5).

      When I come back to the area this is definitely a shop I would hit up again. Two thumbs up!

      Instead of having such a large staff three days a week why don't you downsize and open five days like most Assistance League Thrifts? I realize you rely on volunteers but there are too many behind the register. You'd make more money if you were open more. Clothing prices fair. Houseware's ridiculously priced.

      This store has items. The hours are limited. Not the cheapest prices but every time I have been here I have found something. They are run by volunteers. They have only 1 register even though they have several staff there so sometimes they have lines. Especially because of the limited time they were open plan on a wait.

      This is a fabulous thrift shop in every way. The profits go to children's charities and everyone is a volunteer. In fact, the highly talented watch repair/electronics checker is a retired military pilot. I have purchased everything from children's clothing ($1 on certain occasions) to a very good DVD player (Yes, some people still like DVDs as opposed to streaming). The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Bravo!!

      I always bring my donations to this charity. The women who work here are volunteering and they are super helpful. Prices are great, the selection is great too.
      They also have Dwight, who checks everything that gets donated and is powered. Like appliances or sound equipment. All that stuff gets marked too, so you know what you are getting. Highly recommend this thrift that is supporting school age children. Great all around!!

      I'd leave zero stars if I could. We were not even allowed in the store, because I had a child with me (in a freaking baby carrier). Very rude, extremely frustrating. Don't know how they've managed to stay open. If it isn't, it should be illegal to turn people away based on age.

      I'll admit that I am not a big fan of Thrift Shops, but this place always has great "stuff" and a helpful staff! Holidays they carry amazing gift and decorating items. It is well worth a visit to the very convenient location in the Frazier Farms shopping center.

      Nicest ladies volunteer to help. We are lucky to have them give of their time, patience and energy. Find many treasures and things I need. Great to be able to visit them and also take care of my shopping at Fraziers. Easy parking and feel safe in this area.
