Re-Tail

Just shopped there and had a great experience. Things were easy to sort through (clothing)… You gotta have an eye for the great finds though. I’m satisfied with my purchase

We visited Re-​Tail today, for the second time. They have a little bit of everything. As another Unilocaler said, they do have a seasonal section. They have a good selection of glassware, books, cd’s, art, and clothing. They have a lot of pet-​related knick knacks, etc. They have a fair amount of furniture. I found two lightweight blazer-​type things that I just love. One was $ 4 and the other was $ 4.50. Normally this wouldn’t be a bargain to me, but I absolutely love them. They have some drapes, high quality shoes, and a nice little selection of craft supplies — I found two Girl Scout pin/​badge items, that I was very happy with. They have a little section for pretty much everything. I found two plant pots I was very happy with in that section. Definitely give this shop a visit, if you’re in the area.

Re– Tail seems like it could be a gem… but a few things need tweaking.
First, I don’t know who is pricing most of this stinky crap anyway (possibly Sharon) but the prices are rediciously high for what it really is– do some research to even assess if something has value and pric it accordingly.
Secondly, only haivng one employee on the weekend is a little slow for someone who wants to see something in the case (it’s actually aggravating as all get out and I quickly lose momentum during the wait!).

Great items and fair prices all to help a great cause. Clean store, friendly people and cats to pet and adopt.

I cannot say enough good things about this thrift shop, but I’ll try to keep it brief. They have all sorts of awesome items like furniture, dishes, clothing, shoes, framed pictures, movies, cds, toys, stuffed animals and books. I love their book collection! They run a great facebook page too that alerts you to cool new items and they have seasonal stuff too, like loads of baskets during Easter. You are guaranteed to find some rare gems here and the prices are more than fair! On top of that, I know my money is going to a good cause – Rikki’s Refuge. They also have a booth they rotate monthly that is sponsored by other local rescues like Bully Paws and the local SPCA and proceeds from items purchased out of that booth go towards the sponsoring rescue. They also hold raffles! There’s a plethora of used pet supplies too! PLEASE, if you’ve got items to donate, stop here before Goodwill or Salvation Army! Also, the employees are very friendly and helpful and this may not matter to some people, but the restroom is very clean. OH and they have cats that chill during the day in the shop!

03/​21/​2015 I don’t really come here anymore on my regular thrifting excursions. The prices are higher, a lot of the furniture is priced ridiculously high (like antique store prices, crazy Ebay and Etsy prices) but in poor condition. They have a lot of stuff that has been there since they opened, which should tell the employees: «time to lower the price.» The store is no longer new and now feels dirty and overpacked. When the shop first opened, this store seemed more selective and had quality, good condition pieces with prices that had me coming back.

1÷29÷2014: I’m torn about writing a review for the newly opened Re-​Tail thrift store located in what used to be Lacy’s Home Center. I could hope to keep this place off Unilocal for as long as possible and away from competitor shoppers or help out a great cause… morals win. I love animals and I’m happy my shopping can help out this organization.
I’ve gone there twice and and both times I’ve found lots of awesome stuff for great prices. I enjoy visiting thrift stores, but Goodwill and the Salvation army are charging too much for used merchandise that is often damaged or stuff from the dollar store or Ikea for x3 what they originally cost, despite damage!!! The items at this Re-​Tail shop are in great condition, they’e selling interesting things and random stuff. The place is displayed nicely, it’s not overwhelming, and the employees are friendly and excited to be there. I’m in the process of buying my first home and there are all kinds of random things I have on my shopping list… but I’m on a low budget. I’ve found lots of great stuff on my list! Dish-​ware, realistic fake flowers — similar styles sell for $ 15 new at Marshalls cost just $ 1 here! (I think that’s a great price for a thrift store!), they also have furniture, tile samples to turn into cup coasters or pot holders, a spice rack I’ve seen on Etsy for $ 25 was $ 3! Etc. Etc. Etc.
I’ll probably drop by this place several times a month from now on.
