Its a great store for the cause - and if you happen to need a wig after undergoing chemo - but the ambiance needs a makeover. For a thrift store, the items are rather expensive. I wonder, were the items donated? Are the store volunteers paid? Ive seen several items that I could buy brand new elsewhere at the same price for a used version here at this store. You have no idea how much that irritates me when Im thrift shopping, so please excuse my scrutiny over the money flow at this "charity" business. Next off, please screen your employees to see if theyd make a good fit for the store image. Ive been here several times and the staff is not friendly, and theyre all probably over 75 years old (sorry, but I have to be honest about this). Arent there any younger people applying to work here? If so, please hire them. A bit of energy could do not harm to this store. And finally, you might want to just stock items that would appeal to younger people. Much of what Ive seen in the store looks dated, if you know what I mean. Its a thrift store - not a museum. There might be less gawkers if theres more stuff there that people would be interested in buying. Collectibles are always in a nonessential item market. I mean no disrespect to the store or the cause - but feel theres a lot of room for improvement. It would be really sad to see this store fade away, but I wonder how this place stays up and running with all the red flags. Please disregard this review if the above concerns are remedied in the future.

I am so sorry.....I THOUGHT I WAS RATING THE COMMUNITY SHOP ON FRANKLIN IN NAPA... SO CONTINUE READING, KEEPING THAT IN MIND. I have been there many times and they charge way too much for their stuff. Even the purses are very pricey. Do they want to move their stuff or hold on to it. They get the stuff for free. 1.00 would be a plus in that case ? They are grouchy people and older women, always looking sad. Their pricers are way overboard. It is a darn thrift shop, not Macys !!!! ???? Honestly. They also act like they will not lower the prices and it is their money. ???? Bargaining is fun. They are not a high society place !!!! ???? Anna. I have gone in there 1 week. Gone back and the stuff is still there 3 weeks later. They will not budge their prices ????? I DO THINK THE DISCOVERY SHOP IS TOO HIGH TOO THOUGH. THESE ARE THRIFT SHOPS. NOT EXPENSIVE CORPORATE STORES LIKE MACYS.....ANNA

I dont know who gets to write these reviews without any ramifications if they are wrong, but the reviews I read are way off base!!! The Discovery Shop is wonderful! .... I guess I shouldnt tell anyone else that because I should want to keep it to myself, but indignation prevails.

I stop by this store once in awhile and have rarely found much to interest me here. Clothing is sparce and there isnt much selection. Tons of knick-knacks if you like things like that. Some of the donated pictures are okay too.

Very small scale thrift shop and pricy. I oftwn wonder who is really profitting from business like that.
