I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS STORE!!! Every time I walk into this wonderful place I cannot believe the great amazing deals I find here. The first time I was there I found a really nice black leather jacket, mans size XXL which is hard to find at a thrift store for only $9.95 and nearly new pair of mens Levis stone washed jeans size 36 waist and 32 length also hard to find in thrift stores also for $9.95. I’m very happy with my first purchase! On my second visit I bought a Food Saver vacuum food sealer that K-Mart next door wants over $100.00 for. Unique had one that looked like it was hardly used for only $4.95! On my third visit I really got a really HUGE bargain on something Ive wanted for a very along time. Im diabetic and I really love ice cream a lot but nobody makes a good tasting ice cream thats diabetic friendly; especially a sugar-free Cookies N Cream which absolutely nobody makes and that’s my favorite kind. I once bought a sugar-free vanilla ice cream at Wal-Mart and it smelled just like latex house paint and didn’t taste that much better. So since June 2009 Ive wanted an ice cream maker that uses a built-in freezer compressor instead of using salt and ice or a freezer bowl that you have to freeze in you freezer overnight. Most of the ice cream makers like I want sell in stores for at least $300.00 or all the way up into the thousands of dollars. Not so at Unique. I found a Salton Big Chill ice cream maker with the built-in compressor just like I wanted with all the attachments and extras. Salton makes all of the George Forman Grills so it’s a good company. The truly amazing part is that Unique only wanted $24.95 for it!!!!! Not for the $285.00 it originally retailed for and not $300.00 like all the other stores. I couldn’t believe my eyes!!! The thing looked like it was used only once if that and it was in perfect like new condition. I tested it to see if it worked in the store and the fan and compressor worked great and where the aluminum mixing bowel sits, it got very cold in a hurry so I just had to buy it! It felt like I had just won the lottery I was so happy!! Since getting it, I have made three batches of delicious sugar free ice cream that’s much better than the sugar free crap in the stores. The hard part is trying to find the Murray sugar free Oreo-like cookies to make Cookies N Cream. It looks like the Kmart next door has them so it’s another reason I’m going to be going to Unique first. I just wonder what kind of amazing deals will be in there when I go in there tomorrow? If you like really nice stuff but don’t like to pay high retail prices I would very highly recommend this amazing store to anyone and everyone!! FYI - This is an honest impartial review. I have no vested interests in Unique, financially or otherwise. I just appreciate the great deals I get every time.

I am disappointed in this store before it was expanded into a "department store". I find it disappointing that 2 of their stores I have visited seem to always have a bunch of "designer" bags with the high prices to match. They are labeled LV $25.95 or DB $69.95. Then you check closely & this highly crafted label is super glued onto a label bag. This is dishonest & of course no return policy. Live & learn to be wise. I have found nice stuff including authentic bags but Im disappointed that they are thinking were too stupid to figure this out. In addition their actual designer shoes are way marked up, to the prices you can find of ebay or in stores for sales. Save your self the wasted money; its cheaper to get a department store coupon or buy it on ebay. GW & SA will have my business for now unless they decide to engage in this fraudelent activity (purses). My rating is a 1-2/5.

This used to be a good place to shop when most prices were reasonable enough to validate this as a "Thrift Store". Not anymore! Their prices are outlandish for most items, especially when you consider most all of their merchandise comes from local donations, free Craigslist Ads they scavenge up and horrible, extremely unfriendly customer service. Their prices on musical instruments is a joke. You can find better deals on Craigslist any day of the week. Ive been burned a couple of times on electronic items that didnt work when I got them home....with no way to test them at the store. Never again. In these tough times, youd expect a thrift store to be a thrift store......not a rip-off store of rude, unfriendly staff. Too bad English is a second language at this store....after all, this IS America!

This store is AWFUL!! I avoid it at all costs. The owner/manager is a greedy SOB. Their prices are not thrift store prices! And I dont even donate to this place anymore because I think its wrong that they are making money off of other peoples used donated items and none of this money goes to a good cause. Just to the greedy owner!! Prices are outrageous!! And their rules are ridiculous! They dont price things right and the same exact item you have found in the store if you find it somewhere else in the store is a different price. Doesnt make sense. Customer service is HORRIBLE and on top of that most of the employees dont speak very good english. Makes it very frustrating!! Avoid this place at all costs and go to your nearest good will or salvation army for all your thrift store shopping needs.

I would say Unique is an overall good place to shop for second-hand goods. They have a very large selection of items, including clothing, household, furniture, toys, electronics, and more. The items do tend to be over-priced, but they have 50% off days that make shopping there feel like one huge garage sale. Some personal notes: 1. The Unique membership card gets you 25% off everything in the store on Fridays. Memberships can be opened on any day except Friday. 2. If there is no price on the item, you may not purchase it that day. They will not price it for you. 3. Disappointing, but true: They advertised 75% off on all Halloween merchandise. I arrived right when the store opened to take advantage of the sale, only to see them frantically boxing up all of the Halloween merchandise.

Service is horrible. They do hold items but only for an hour. No returns (somethings you have to bring home to test out) No batteries for cameras you have to go buy a battery and come back. Some prices that are marked are too high. Some items are broken and of no use but they still try to sell it even if you tell them. I never seen one person who was friendly and I went there bunch of times. Why dont I go back? My sister worked for them and they did not give her any accommodations for her disability. and told her to voluntarily quit and sign a letter. And with her disabilities that she has they took advantage of that. If you shop there you support there behavior.

I used to love going to Unique but man have their prices gotten way out of line. Why would anyone pay $24.95 for a pair of used shoes? They seem to be raising their prices higher every time I go in to check it out. I now avoid them like the plague. pricing is not consistent. I was looking at some plates one was marked for 60 cents and the other was $2.00 for the same plate. I have found tops with the store tag still attached. The store price was $14.99 and Unique had it marked at $19.99. Price gouging at its best! I would not recommend stopping and shopping at the Burnsville store they are off their nut in their prices.
