#1 reason to donate and shop here… proceeds go to helping pets in shelters! Everyday something is on sale. Prices are very reasonable and so far every time I’ve been in furniture is 50% off. Minimum of $15 to use a credit or debit card. Plenty of parking and helpful staff.
Dakota, the “manager” is extremely disrespectful. Sat up front of the store and poorly spoke on customers who spend their own money on things in the store, donating to the animals. But ever since becoming manager it’s no longer about the animals it’s all for profit and seems to be going to his own pocket. I feel sorry for people who purchase from here, I would go to thrift stores like EARS or project phoenix where the money is actually going back into the community and not into the managers pocket. Like other reviews, extremely uncomfortable environment. Not like it use to be. I would steer clear.
If I could leave zero stars I would. Terrible environment and terrible management Dakota specifically!! Fraud thrift store should be a consignment store with those prices!! Get all their product for free and charge $20 for clothes that smell like cigarettes and have stains. Extremely uncomfortable shopping environment will never go back
Really nice finds in here, especially the furniture selection. What a great way to support the humane society! Great prices and friendly employees.
I love donating to and shopping at thrift stores that support pet rescues. This one was a major disappointment. Everything was greatly overpriced. The place was very unorganized, dirty and just overall, a mess. Man at counter was very unappreciative of clothes donation I brought and turned off a gentleman by being rude about his “baby donations” that apparently they do not accept. Then he said - do you have other stuff? and said he would be willing to see if he wanted any of it. The look on the man’s face after hauling that large high chair in- i don’t think he brought the rest in to them. For instance on prices - there was a dog gate, about 12-18” high wooden expandable. There were 3 of them $79.99 EACH - I’d say $12.99 would have been top price!! There was a book on Sarasota that was $38 new - they wanted $29! I think $4.99 would have been appropriate. There were ceramic bath toothbrush and soap holders - $14.99 EACH! I wouldn’t pay that for the set. They need some friendly people and maybe some adoptable pets roaming about, good cleaning, massive price reductions and a clearance sale to start fresh!
Do not bother dropping off donations here. Just take them to Goodwill a few doors down. This was once a caring shop to donate nice items to help raise money to help the animals at the shelter. Now it is run by crabby old women who run out to yell at people who try to bring donations. It is a shame what has happened to this store.
