Very nice selection of items. A bit disorganized but IMO it makes a fun experience looking through everything. Came in looking for a frame and was pleased to find a wide variety before making my selection. Owner was very friendly. Will definitely be back soon!

Unilocal discount! Old-​G thrift store changed new mgmt. Love the tons of old knick knack items for the kitchen, to the yard. DIY gift projects. Cheaper than any yard or garage sale I’ve been to. They also buy your items.
I’d love to have these type of thrift stores closer to me. Random treasures and they’re aren’t charging a leg and arm for it, and definitely not ripping you off.
I posted a bunch of random photos of what they have. Its fun to walk through to see such odd or random things.

What a little gem! New favorite treasure hunting shop. The owner is a sweetheart:)
Great selection of furniture, vintage glassware, clothing, etc. Prices are very reasonable… worth the dig to find the treasures hiding in this place.

You sort of have to do a bit of digging in this place. Things are not the most organized but the owner is very helpful and fair in setting the prices if you’re unsure of how much something is. There was a good selection of books, DVDs, records, tableware and furniture. I bought a DVD and an audio sermon disc set for $ 2 each. I was hoping to find some clothes at this place but everything on the rack just didn’t suit my taste.

My favorite store of all time. I can honestly say that ive never got such a good deal for vintage before. Some of my favorite clothes in my whole collection have came from here and they have such accommodating service!

Wonderful little shop with a great selection of vintage clothing! I was very impressed by the dresses and reasonable pricing. Most of the dresses I bought were either $ 8 or $ 12.
No formal fitting room, but the owner let me in the back room bathroom which had two full length mirrors. Lots of vintage scarves with nice prints for $ 5, a comparable price to thrift/​antique stores I frequent.
Starting this weekend, the owner is rotating out summer clothing/​dresses and bringing out five boxes worth of coats and outerwear. Very personable shop owner with flexible pricing. Definitely made my list of thrift stores to come back to!

Chairs, records, and LAMPS were the best parts of this place! I bought a gorgeous lamp and saw some chairs from the 1830s. 1830s!!! Incredible collection of costume clothes as well. I felt like I was in a green room on Broadway.

Quirky store with interesting things. Nicer things are higher priced, front is merchandised nicely, but the back is a mess and it was so difficult to get to the items around the walls.

They have some good deals on antiques, and you can bargain on some of the big ticket items. I bought a beat up antique desk for $ 125 cleaned it and painted it, looks great now.

Seeema like this treasure of a store is really coming together. Picked up some great art and 2 tables. Headed back later today for a shelf that wouldn’t fit in my truck. The sales lady Carol is really friendly.

I didnt find anything here. Pros — lots of furniture, owner is more than willing to bargain with you. Cons — very cluttered, if you are naturally clumsy, DO NOT walk in there, especially the room with all glass. The clothes racks are too tightly placed together.

Love this place! Go in here pretty often. Found a beautiful french table and 5 chairs for $ 125. Also found an Ethan Allen china cabinet that was priced at $ 395 and he sold it to me for $ 225, not bad if you ask me. They are pretty flexibile in price.

This little inconspicuous vintage store is treasure trove of the weird, quirky and antiquated. Follow the rocking chairs at the front of the store and into a massive collection of furniture, clothes, kitchenware, appliances, toys, accessories, clothes and shoes.
However, it’s a bit hit or miss whether or not you’ll find something of interest to you. The other day I found some awesome high red velvet chairs and checkered bar stools. Another day, I didn’t find anything at all. Some of the stuff is broken but most are intact.
The point docking comes from the slightly high price tag. Though, definitely cheaper than when purchased new, I’m not so sure it’s all that much cheaper. A few vintage bottles I was looking at cost $ 8, but I guess that does pay for the search labor, the rent and for a victory outreach cause of spreading the gospel and planting churches.
