Red Racks Thrift Store

My red racks for sure. Want give props to the lady that was at the chk out. She gets 6 stars. Out of all the red racks, this is the cleanest and always has a great selection. I hate to disagree with the person with the juicer. You can test it before you leave and its used. I’ve had the same problem but «you rolls the dice, ya takes your chances.» Vicky is the bomb!!! I’d take 20 of her anytime for my biz!!!

They’ve eliminated the .25 sale, or 5 for $ 1 — the things that sit, and sit, and sit there for weeks would get marked down to .25. It’s .50 sale now, which makes little sense — the lower markdowns are .49 and .29. And no discount for 5 items.
Also in the past month or so, I’ve brought 2 items to the register and was told they had the ‘wrong” price, and should have been marked up higher. We’re not talking about gold, fine clothes, or anything very worthwhile even, just petty small items. Amazing. Of course, if you point out something is cracked and that was missed during the pricing, the «wrong» price doesn’t seem to work both ways.
They changed to rewards system to «check in». Cashier has to do it. Assuming one can recall to ask the cashier… I have a feeling they tell cashiers not to remind folks, since none do. And of course the check in things don’t work all the time. In the past they’d note it, I guess that is no more.
Prices on small appliances have become crazy — who wants to take a chance on a Wal Mart toaster oven for $ 12 when Wal Mart sells it for $ 14, new, and will take it back if it doesn’t work? Or a cheap toaster that’s $ 8.98, new at store $ 12? You’d think half price, at least. And being told — nay, instructed, like one talks to a small child — that you can «test» these items is foolish. You can’t plug them up and bake something to see if the temp works, and most people don’t carry oven thermometers.
On the other hand, some of the glass items seem to be priced a bit more reasonable, and a few other types of items.
Not sure what’s going on here in the past few months… inventory seems to be down a bit, too.

My first time shopping here I paid twenty dollars for a used juicer. I tried it out briefly and it worked, so I thought I was getting a good deal since juicers are so expensive.
A day later I turned it on and it died after a few minutes. I brought it back hoping for store credit since I was obviously screwed out of 20 bucks since the thing wouldn’t stay running. The cashier refused to take it as a return, but said she would call the manager.(I would like to note that I was not confrontational at all during this entire incident, I just explained my situation and that I would like a refund.)
The manager was clearly trying to embarrass the hell out of me to get me out of the line. She started practically yelling «WHEN DID YOU BUY THIS? WE DON’T TAKE EXCHANGES ON APPLIANCES!» I’m like, «Come on, I just bought it, it wasn’t like this thing was a couple of bucks. For 20 dollars at a thrift store for a used appliance it should work.»
So she huffs and plugs it in… of course the stupid thing decides to work at that moment. So she starts yelling at me again (my husband heard her on the other side of the store) «Well since it’s working now, I can’t help you!» And walked away!
WOW. Just wow. Horrible, horrible customer service. I could never imagine purposely trying to embarrass someone just to get them out of my hair. I’m more upset by how I was treated here than being out $ 20.
I learned my lesson… when it comes to anything other than clothing, it doesn’t pay to buy used – ESPECIALLY at Red Racks!
I won’t be donating or shopping at any of their stores again!

I will not recommend anyone do biz there nor will I recommend. I was told as well as two other customers were told certain items were .25. When we got home, we looked at all the items, we’d been charged full price… We went back ASAP to get a refund and the manager was rude, rude, rude to the customer in front of me. When she got to me, she advised that not only was I wrong about the .25 sale, she’d announced it every 15 min. My companion and I were in the store for about an hour and not once were there any announcements being made on prices not being .25. She has the right to call me a liar in a round about way and I have the right to never do business there again or recommend them.

It’s a great place to find random things you might think you need or want in your life. The people who work at the store are friendly and helpful.
The store has $.25 tags on Sundays and always has a sale on holidays they are open. There is a text messaging phone system that you can sign up for to earn extra promotions and be on top of knowing when the store is going to have it’s awesome sales.
The entire inventory for the store is based on donations, and a portion of the proceeds goes to help Disable Veterans.

Prices are ridiculously high! I’ve stopped shopping here because I can find better items at a better bargain at the flea markets or other thrift shops in town.

If you want to fill your closet but not empty your pockets, red rack has three locations in Springfield where you can find lots of clothes for cheap. I usually don’t do much shopping for myself here. There’s just not much selection for men. Us men tend to wear out our cloths until there’s no material left. Therefore, there’s usually not much donated for men. However, if you like slacks for church or cheap logo shirts, there is a plethora.
I bring my girlfriend here most Sundays for the quarter sales. Red racks has a very good selection of clothing for women. Wether you are looking for pants, shorts skirts, blouses or even dresses, you’ll probably find a few things you like. The thing I find most surprising is the amount of brand-​new, unworn clothing with the original price tags still attached. And it’s not usually cheap Walmart stuff like you would expect. There are high-​end name brands out there. My gf found a new Vera Bradley purse last year which would have cost over a hundred dollars at the mall!
Of course you would expect there to be a selection of clothing for children also, but you might be surprised to find out that they have toys as well. I’m sitting on a bench while my girlfriend tries on some clothes in the dressing room and as I look to my left, I can even see bicycles on a rack.
Red racks isn’t just a clothing store. Go through the doors and look to the left and you will even see a selection of dishes and small appliances of different sorts.
I read Molly’s review of the North Glenstone location and she is spot on. They do have a larger selection of clothing. However, since they have three locations, why not hit up all of them and see what they all have to offer?

First off, give me a moment to regain my equilibrium. My mind is still a bit fuzzy from perusing the copious variety of mind blowing merchandise this gigantour of goods and most holy mecca of merchandise has for our shopping pleasure. Selection? Value? Customer service? Fresh items hourly? Crazy low prices? Friendly clean environment? All of the preceding and much much more! Waste no more time online reading silly reviews and make a hasty exit to your preferred mode of transport and point it towards battlefield and kansas espy. Good day.

Pretty cool store but I agree with others that some of the prices are outlandish. The sales, Unilocal deals and check in offers are great and help but used shoes should never cost in the $ 10 range unless they’re Prada or something. I did find some inexpensive cool vintage linens, a macramé beaded hanging plant holder and a pair of shoes all for $ 8. I’d come back I I was in the area but the prices are a bit of a turn off.

I have some conflicted opinions about DAV/​Red Racks in general. I think some of their prices are a little, no a lot, insane. I refuse to pay twelve dollars for an obviously faded, excessively washed pair of khakis from a thrift store when I can find nice, brand new ones for the same price on a department store clearance rack. However, this store still gets 5 stars because it is enormous — truly the largest thrift store I’ve ever visited — and they always have something fabulous I must have. My boyfriend likes to shop their men’s section for jeans and tees and while I find the women’s clothing excessively priced, I enjoy the selection of board games, paperback books, and housewares. They have an enormous linens department with almost any color/​size sheet, tablecloth, or towel you may need. The store gets insane on Sunday sale days but can be worth it sometimes, too. On my last visit (December 2012) they had a minor facelift including the addition of public restrooms and 3 small dressing rooms (for which there was a lengthy wait, but it’s still nice they added them).

We always stop in here when we are in Springfield, especially on Sunday when the sales are happening. They always have a large selection of great quality goods. They are more pricey than most thrift shops. It is well worth the stop when you are near by.

Great store with awesome deals. This place was one of the best thrift stores I ever been too. A place worth stopping into.
