Nothing will prepare you for this experience. Someone else said it right, be prepared to get weird. I will add be prepared to get serious about digging through troughs of junk like you would a dumpster but without the apple peels and dirty diapers. The troughs are mounds of underwear mixed with vases and old recorders and anything else you can think of that GW either didnt sort or is dumping from some other store that didnt sell it. There are pieces of broken glass in the bottom of the troughs. Wear gloves! I didnt. Huge regrets. Its filthy. Employees yell, "NO SHOPPING!" and push out troughs from the back. Then, "SHOP!" And it looks like Walmart on Black Friday. Its insane. I think people pillage and sell at the flea market. It looks like people camp out there for the day too. Dont look in the carts along the wall. They belong to people and they will get territorial! Troughs are for fighting but respect the carts. All that said, I left with two carts of items I needed for my bootstrap business. I carried in one reusable bag. The finds are that good. Items sell by weight unless its 5+lbs, then its a manager just picking something random. Ask what the weight prices are as it varies by item. (i.e. regular stuff is $.99 and glass is $.59 but I think books are something else.) Its crazy and dirty but... Im going back today. Its unbelievable how much stuff there is!

Wow! if you are NOT ready to be scratched, tugged, pushed, pulled on or injured, then dont go here. It is like wild animals on the Serengeti ripping and tearing at a carcass. I took my elderly mother to have a little fun finding a bargain. What she got was one of the "regulars" who proceeded to grab a purse from her and almost dislocate her finger. The woman didnt even have the courtesy to say she was sorry for hurting her after she took the purse from her. She just walked off with her wad of purses and claimed she didnt speak English. I made a complaint to the management and they sympathized with me, but did nothing to the lady who hurt my mom. She was allowed to continue to shop. There really needs to be some sort of system at this store that prevents things like this from happening. Everyone loves a good deal, but REALLY....at what cost. Bring your boxing gloves if you want to shop here!

This was the most bizarre "thrifting" experience I have had yet. Giant blue plastic bins, almost like dumpsters, are rotated in and out of the "showroom" floor for people to dig through. After people have selected their trash treasures they are paid for by the pound. That was a new one for me... While taking in the environment and watching these people almost leaping into the bins it struck me - This is nothing more than semi-organized DUMPSTER DIVING! HA! Keep your "crap by the pound", Ill be going to a real thrift store next time.

This is a pretty hard-core shopping experience. There are usually no shopping carts, so you have to wait around until someone is done using one. There are huge families of people who basically live in these stores setting up from the moment the store opens until the minute it closes. They bring in meals and eat there and aggressively protect their corner of the store. When new bins come out, there is something resembling a football game around the new bins.

LMAO at the reviews! Its The bins!! There are always fun finds in the most wonderfully chaotic setting imaginable. Not for everyone. Yes its scrappy. No, its not a great place to take kids, although surely many do anyway. No, its not a good place to take sick, weak, elderly or dust allergic. If you want to find rad things on the cheap. Enjoy! I do every time!

Welcome to bizarro-world. Watching new bins get rolled out, then having packs of scrappers tear through it is a site to see. Its like one of those time-lapse nature films of a carcass being "recycled" on the Serengeti. Consumer culture purgatory. Yes there are mountains of rubbish. But thats why theyre called diamonds in the rough. Bring gloves. Get weird.

This place is always full of the same people and sometimes it can be difficult to get a cart but if youre searching for a bargain you are likely to find something here, you just need to look for it. If you are disabled or need a cart for kids you can ask an employee and usually they can find one in the back for you.

Not as big as I thought it would be— its smaller than a normal Goodwill. You could leave here with some good gems, but youll have to do a lot of work for it. Large selection of shoes and clothes, buy the clothes are all mixed together so its hard to find anything relevant unless you spend a long time digging.

This is a very odd experience where they bring out giant bins of items for you to shuffle through and people literally line up to fight through the bins as they take them out if the back. I wish you luck in finding a good deal but it takes a lot of dedication as people are super insane about these deals.

I heard a lot of good things about this place but when we went to it ... it was a little scary ... nothing bad but not for us ... I am a teacher so I didnt like seeing children unattended especially outside ... we may give it another try in the furture ...

This place is great if you have the time and patience to dig for treasures. It does get intense at times and recently i almost saw a fight occur over a backpack. Everything is 99 cents a lb at most. It always has a sense of second hand black friday 365!!!

Its a place where our consumerist society comes and gives life to what was no longer worthy of having. Recycle, reuse and relove. Its not for everyone but once you get digging blue bin bug, youll find time in your day to dig-it. I dig-it for you!!!!!!!

Gross.. gross.. gross.. if you enjoy digging through bins of CRAP in a nasty warehouse setting this place is for you. I walked in and right back out. This is not what I thought it was and I will never return or recommend this to anyone!

Can be fun. Gloves are a must. Be prepared to stay a few hours to find the best stuff. Bring your own shopping bags as there are none in the store and shopping carts are few and far between. I got a used $200 rice cooker for $3.99.

One good thing - you can find very good staff for very chip. But you have to fight for it with professional shoppers. And crew can take you staff if they like it and say - this not for selling. Bad store. Always dirty.

This is like extreme garage sales on steroids ! Ive never seen anything like it. Ive been three times now and have purchased at least 8 electronic items ( including night vision goggles )and they have all worked.....
