Buyer Beware. I purchased a 2 peice suit from here for a friend. When she tried it on we found the jacket size was different than the pant size. I called to ask if I could get a refund and was told by a very rude manger named Amy that I should had tried it on, so I explained that I did not buy it for myself so there was no reason to try it on. She said that its buyer beware here and there are no refunds. I said so if you wrote 2 peice on a tag then you should have checked to make sure it was actually a 2 peice set therefore the same size and if not then you could have sold them separate. She said sorry no refunds. This suit was in the designer section and I purchased for a friend who was going to job interviews and wanted to look professional. Mistakes happen even the lady who answered the phone initially could be heard in the background saying it was the stores fault but the manager was very rude. She is right buyer beware ... I was going back to purchase a $350 dresser but not anymore.

I found this place by accident when I dropped my car off to get fixed it was across the street. I went back to the pajamas and nightgowns area and they have vintage slips bed jackets and some even have the original tags. I love the older ones because you could tighten the straps in the front not in the back like today. I wish them that bad as they make you feel sexy even when youre sleeping alone. Also if you look through all the China area you can find little pieces that were made in France Italy Ireland better Simply Beautiful.

I wanted to purchase a product that was priced as a "2 piece set" and the second piece was no where to be found. I asked how much the one piece would be and the cashier refused to sell it to me because it "needed to be repriced". She told me if I wanted to buy it at that moment, I had to pay the cost of the set (while only getting the one). I was so baffled that I left my filled cart there. Im not giving my money to a place that treats customers as such! In my opinion, I felt like they were trying to scam me.

In February CT opened its doors to the homeless and hosted a Homeless Giveaway Event to donate free, 13-gallon bags filled with women’s, men’s and children’s clothing including coats, hats, gloves and scarves. They ultimately gave away over 50 bags to those in need. This is a charity that is worth shopping at, donating to and volunteering your time for because all of the proceeds go back directly into OUR community!

Im a fan of thrift stores in general, so I thought I would check this one out. I was amazed by how nice this store was. I have never seen a thrift store take such care to be clean! Not to mention I noticed a staggering lack of thrift smell. This place is fantastic! They have earned my business for as long as they are open!!!

Community Threads is one of the best thrift stores I have been to, and I have been to a lot! They have quality merchandise, the staff are friendly and helpful, and they have designed it to feel more like a boutique than a thrift store with great displays! I highly recommend coming here!

I stopped by to see what this store had to offer, and it was totally worth the trip! Not only is this store the nicest thrift store I have ever been in, but they had racks of NEW CLOTHES with the price tags still on!!! I cannot say enough about how awesome this place is!

I appreciate that this store is always clean and clutter free, has a HUGE selection of mens clothes, prices VERY reasonable and easy to find (posted on placards, hung from the ceiling). Staff has always been pleasant.

One of the cleaner and better run resale shops around. Nice staff and great all around selection of goods. I bought a mattress for a fraction of the regular prices of other mattress stores as well.

This place is awesome! Tons of stuff. Lots of furniture. And staff was helpful when I needed info. Wish there was one in my area as this on is up north, but will for sure visit again.

Went there with my wife found the place to be in shambles disorganized and the women at the counter seem to be very condescending, especially if you dont speak Spanish.

What a terrific thrift store! Great value. They have everything you would want and everything is nicely displayed. Staff are friendly, the store is bright and clean.

CT is a great place to find slightly used appliances - like the bread maker I bought there. You never know what youll find there, but I bet it will surprise you.

Sade Sabala

The prices on some items are ridiculous. Huge store. They did have deal going on with furniture when I visited which wasnt bad. I like the way its organized.

Alex Munoz

For items closed with tape you HAVE TO rely on the words of the staff AND if you must look inside the taped Item you MUST BUY the item.

Camille Youngberg

Neat locally run resale store. Furniture is priced a bit higher than other thrift/resale stores, but clothing seemed well priced.

Matt Mottier

Great second hand store that supports the community it is a part of. Donations are accepted and resold in the store front.

Rita Rhodes

This is a great thrift store. Clean and well organized. Prices are reasonable, and proceeds go to a good cause.

Ziomara Gil

I love this place and I love that it gives proceeds to different charities. Perfect way to reuse.

First I hate thrift stores but this one I love and I love the cinnamon smell
