I love coming to this thrift store, but lately their prices are getting out of control. They have a Vera Bradley small crossbody bag for $30!!! I went the the rescue mission saw the same bag for only $5!! Like they get this stuff for free. I understand they need to make a profit but come on it’s a thrift store for crying out loud.

Love this place, it has a good selection of sewing and craft supplies. It's clean and a little more upscale than just a thrift store. They sell local produce, baked goods and other unique stuff.

Beautiful displays. Higher quality stuff. Really high prices for a thrift store. I understand the "higher end thrift store" concept. But some of the prices are so insane you could get it on Amazon cheaper. It actually sometimes makes me a little angry - people shop at thrifts stores because they're on a bugdet. It's a mixed bag in terms of customer service - sometimes you get someone super sweet and sometimes you get someone super rude.

I used to shop here all the time. Over the last year or so their prices have gotten out of control. Either be a consignment shop or thrift shop. Charging $30 just because the label is “free people” is insane. Especially since 99% of the free people in the store is from seasons long ago. If you want to find some decent clothes expect to pay a high price when shopping there. I’ve heard the boss say to numerous people “it’s for a good cause”. Please, look up how much they actually donate to cancers it’s the interest of what the make yearly, not that much!

I never do this but honestly it kinda made me feel some type of way I showed up to the store 25 minutes before 10am mind you they already had furniture outside and I seen this perfect small white shelf for my baby things and they came out and I asked if I could put it on hold and the lady was really nice about it she said yes and I explained to her how I had to go do a few things and I would be back soon and I could pay for it right then and there and she told me no it was fine and she would put on hold for me never giving me a certain time period to get back cause if that was the case I would’ve been back at the time they would have asked me to but they FAILED to tell me that and I came back at 10:35 and was shopping around and finally went up to the front and told them I was there for the white furniture outside and she told me it was sold and I said yea I put it on hold it’s for me and she said no we sold it to someone else and I was kinda taken away and asked her why they would do that and she said that the lady that I talked to gave me until 10:25 and I didn’t make it so they sold it and I tried to explain to her that the First Lady never told me anything about a time period and she said she did and tried making me feel like I was wrong because the First Lady did tell me that but I didn’t want to argue with an older lady so I just bit my tounge regardless I was only ten minutes off from the time I had to come get it and it was already sold it was still in the front why didn’t they take it then it’s not like you need a truck for it and then as I was leaving this other lady stopped me and said to me that they sold it to one of there own some family member who wanted it and they said ok so that’s what bothers me why not just be honest and apologize to me I would’ve far more respected them for that but instead they lied and tried to tell me that they gave me less then a hour to come back and yet when they didn’t and besides who does that who gives there clients who help your business make money that they have a short time period to buy something I kept myself together and I’m happy I did I guess it’s a good sign of maturity but they lost a good customer I will never step foot in there store again and ever promote that store to anybody ever and they over charge anyways so I guess it’s better for me in the long run why would any one pay $12 for a wet seal shirt when it was probably $8.99 Brand new!!!! There money hungry and just rude not everyone of course there are some really nice people there to that’s all I had to get that off my chest!!!!

I stop by here & Tailwaggers every time I go get my prescriptions at rite aid, sometimes I find cool stuff but lately their prices have gone way up. I mean $35 for a pair of used Nevados boots, they're cheaper at Ross, and $50 for a used Columbia parka.

My wife brought donations from her mother's estate after talking to them on the phone as to what they would accept. All the items were all in excellent condition and clean.The lady that accepts the items was very rude and had comments about each box as she went through them. When my wife said that she was told to bring them in by the lady that answered the phone, she criticized her as well! She was not appreciative of the nice items donated! Take your stuff to Miranda's or Hospice. They are much nicer and appreciate your donations!

I called this thrift store out of desperation & needing an upright standing walker. My arthritic spine is quickly deteriating & it's essential that I walk with proper alignment until I have corrective surgery. I left my # with Haley & she said she'd keep on the lookout. About 10 days later, she called me & had found one! I am so appreciative of her kindness & thoughtfulness. So glad to see there are still people that care about others, even when they're strangers. The world could use more Haley's.

This place has gone from a thrift /rummage store into a nicely run Boutique type store. There are some good deals there but I have found there are sims items priced too high. You can buy new for about the same price or for the same price. Other than that it is neat well-kept and friendly staff. It would be nice to be able to use their restroom. Not to kid friendly and that area.

Wonderful thrift store. Great selection and good prices. They always have lots of seasonal items and I found a lot of nice jackets that were priced reasonably. You’ll find some gems!

Stunning boutique of second-hand clothing, accessories, and household items. Thrift shop prices, far superior to online competitors in both quality and price. Bonus is that proceeds support American Cancer Society. This shop is a chain, supported by medical auxiliary groups. Standards for inventory is high. Best recent finds include a designer jacket ($7) and a pristine waffle iron ($4).

I was in there the other day looking for a bedside table. I am spending a lot of time in bed or on the couch lately. I am very sick and having some trouble with unexpectedly needing to use the bathroom quickly. I told the clerk this and asked if I could please use their bathroom even though it wasn’t public. She said “no. It’s full of stuff and if you hurt yourself we will get sued. There’s a bathroom at the Rite Aid in the back corner.” The rite aid would’ve been an easy walk when I was well, but it looked unbelievably long in the shape I’m in currently. I thought the people working at the cancer society could understand what it feels like to be sick. I was embarrassed having to ask, shocked to receive no empathy and so tired. I wouldn’t have sued them! Who does she think would sue on my behalf? The Sees candy lady was very nice. The rest of the crew was holier than though.

One of the nicest thrift shops in the area. Only sells quality items. Expect to find clothing, household goods, books, toys, children's items, and some furniture. The store is very clean and well organized. The staff is very friendly. Convenient location in the Henderson shopping area of Eureka.

I am a volunteer at the American Cancer Society. Shopping at the Discovery Shop is a great experience. The workers are very helpful and very nice. What an awesome variety of things they have. Better than most department stores.

The people here are very friendly and create a cheerful environment. I love the idea that the money goes to cancer research. Although the things they sell are only second hand they have just about everything you need. The prices are fair and I would definitely recommended this place to a friend.

While all the items sold are previously owned, this is by far the nicest "second-hand" store in Eureka. (I put that term "second-hand" in quotes, because if the items are not up to par, those items get sent to other stores or thrown away. In other words, they have quality control!)

If you care about your community, DO NOT DONATE to this thrift store! They used to be willing to sell their more valuable goods to the general public- but, now, this large, profit-driven corporate chain has decided to SELL THE GOOD STUFF ON EBAY. That's right, their store will no longer sell high-value items to local buyers, but instead siphons them off to sell on ebay. Take your stuff to Rescue Mission, Angels of Hope, or even the pawn shop (at least there, they will pay you!).

This is a great and affordable thrift shop with well priced treasures and good finds for everyday needs. It supports the Cancer Society and is a great place for clothing, books, jewelry and grand kid clothes and toys.
