I have been shopping this place for a while, and really, it is one of the best organized and fully stocked thrift stores around. They have an enormous amount of clothing and MOST of it is fairly priced. I agree with other reviews that there are some designer name items that they charge A LOT more for - probably too much given the condition some items are in. However, I have purchased a nice J. Crew skirt for $5 and nearly new-looking Banana Republic sweaters for $4... you just have to know how to search. Each week, there are tags in two different colors that will be 50% off all week. On Wednesday and Sunday there are more than 2 color tags that are 50%, there are something like 4, although I have seen this fluctuate from time to time. Sunday is a very busy day - dont go there unless you are fully prepared to be bumping into people left and right and quite possibly wait a bit to get into a dressing room. I have purchased an inordinate amount of furniture here over the years... some I have kept and a lot I have re-sold. You can often find nice solid wood pieces from desks to dressers, nightstands to coffee tables. Sometimes there can be trouble in getting someone to assist you with moving furniture. I have had experiences where they are annoyed if I ask them for help and other times that they are annoyed if I am trying to move the furniture by myself, go figure. There are a lot of people there who are, just, very unhappy, which is unfortunate, but I take it for what it is (their issues, not mine) and move on with my day. I will continue shopping here. I deduct one star because it is a very dusty, dirty place at times. Youll get that grimy coating on your hands if you are in there long enough and touching things. Also, sometimes pricing is very inconsistent; as in, a huge discrepancy in the prices on items that are nearly identical.

3 and a half stars. As a thrift store, it does its job..however, some of their pricing is a little off for some of their collectibles (electronics, comics, etc). I know many thrift stores these days are trying to stay ahead of the online prices of antiques and collectibles, but when the prices are so inflated you start to second guess if you are in a thrift store. I only go here for clothes now, since everything else is usually x2 the price of what you can get it for online. There is the very rare occasional score, but you REALLY have to look. If you are here because you heard of all the lucky goodwill and thrift store stories in which you find a $5 item which is actually worth $500, look elsewhere because you wont find such an item here. If you are here for good prices on clothes, then you are at the right place.

Common sense would say if your store closes at 7:45 pm it should be posted on your website and your door. On your door it said 8:00 pm however, the door was closed before 750. One of your employee came to the door and said they were closed. When asked to speak to the manager she went back into the store like she was getting the manager. However, when I looked through the window she went back to counting money. The lack of communication is clear at this location. I sorry you cant tell time even the regular mom and pop store follow there store hours. I would not recommend anyone going to this store. One person can reflect the attitude of a company, which say alot in the present climate. You suck and you dont care about your customers.

you have to look for the deals, the records are OVERPRICED and many are scratched, why they put out scratched destroyed LPs I have no idea. I sometimes find good ones for half off. I know what I will pay for a particular album. I dont like paying more than $2.50. Used to get LPs at old Goodwill in Centereach for 99 Cents but that closed and moved to Ronkonkoma. They still have records for 99 cents however many of them are scratched and destroyed.

The customer service was horrible, if a item said a certain price and there a another item thats looks like the same thing but overpiced. I asked whats the deal is and the manger came out with the excuse that they were priced wrong. You would think the manger would understand give you the price that the cheaper one would have but no the manger not only priced it more then the original but added like $30 more to it. Oh well I guess.

Maybe I caught it on a bad day, but most things were crazy overpriced. They were asking more than brand new retail for somethings. Maybe you could do well if you hit it on a day where the exact thing you want is the color of the day tag (half off) other than that you might as well just shop online or other retail stores. You Will probably do better there. I couldnt believe what they were charging for some of their stuff.

Good finds. Ok pricing. Frequent discounted days. Furniture guys seem super helpful. No store returns, so its important to try apparel on. The lines are sometimes very long for the fitting rooms. Line to cashiers are often long, but they will usually call for more cashiers to open registers. Parking seems adequate. Coming in and out of parking lot is the worse part of every visit.

I usually come in here, check things out in all departments & leave with one or two small things if that. Lots of the things sold here are overworn. I usually come here for dishes or throw pillows, sometimes on the rare occasion I find a sturdy not so dated looking purse. The shoes are sometimes okay if you look hard enough.

Theres a wide variety of clothes to look through, as well as, a plethora of other housewares. I did see a dress with a bug crawling inside of it but really, its a thrift store so I would hope that anyone buying the clothes would wash them thoroughly after purchase. Good deals though.

Love this place. Its totally better then any Goodwill or Savers Store. Been going here since they opened. This location is also better then the Medford store. This store is cleaner and more organized then the others. I will and have recommended this location to eveyone I know.

Es grande la tienda pero los precios son excesivos para ser cosas usadas deberian mejorar eso!

wayyyyy too expensive for a thrift store, crappy clothes for upwards of 8.99 and up, inauthentic sports jerseys for upwards of $30+.... everywhere else Ive been these things are at most 20% of their pricing

2.5 stars. Hit or miss. Some beneficial deals. Designer, name brand is practically new price???!! Not sure why? Its a thrift, not new, but new to you type of store. Wash everything prior to use or wear.

Always a good selection of interesting products. Bought a really nice leather jacket as well as denim jacket. I frequent this place because I find the prices quite fair most of the time.

I was looking for something specific for someone who lives out of the country. Couldnt find it but noticed the prices were too "overpriced" for a thrift store.
