Great prices, cool stuff! MUCH better quality than Goodwill. Seems like they actually care about people over profit. Please consider sending any donations their way!

The Thrift Shop is awesome! There is such a wide selection of all goods-home, clothing, kids, GREAT vintage section, and everything else you could think of. Prices are great and better than any other thrift store around. The staff is wonderful and kind. This shop does so much for the community and the homeless.I will never stop coming here, much better than Goodwill!

This place has really turned around since the sweet gentleman Cory started running it. Everything is super cool, the staff is amazing and the prices are insanely reasonable! Also MANY items to choose from. Tons of hidden gems!!

Found great Deal on clay pot to cook chicken or beef and pork roast in. A $60.00 item retail new. I picked up for $2.50 along with some Saluki clothing and three cooking books for 50 cents each. That I would have spent $90.00 to acquire at a book store.If your a Bears Fan then check out this youth large Bears winter jacket.Also kitchen items

Awesome place and they are expanding! I got a counted cross stitch kit that sold for 79.99 new at Hobby Lobby for a 1.50! That's a bargain! They have clothes, and anything you need for the home, sports equipment, games puzzles. It's a super place and the staff are so nice.

This store is my favorite. Everything is organized, clean, and affordable. Their organization helps people and pets in need and the staff is always friendly and ready to assist. When I was disabled and homeless they helped me find a great walker and local services. Check out their vintage decorations.

Absolutely the best thrift store that I have ever been to. (I have been around a lot of places in America to Canada.) The workers are so polite and kind and courteous. I've been coming to the thrift shop for years and I've found amazing finds that are affordable but in great condition. The building itself is kept very organized and clean! Donating is also good, if it's past five, you have to put the clothes into the big blue Donations Box, so you can drop off even after they have closed. Shop local, ❤ Carbondale.

The saying, "One persons trash is another persons treasure" holds true for this place. This is THE PLACE TO SHOP for anyone looking for bargains and interesting, unique finds. The merchandise changes daily, depending on what donations are dropped off. Their profits support the local community. They need a bigger place to expand into and also to make the shop more accessible to the handicapped. The staff is currently collecting signatures to show community support for the expansion they can take back to their board. Clothes, bedding, furniture, kitchen items, glassware, pictures/frames, jewelry, shoes, knickknacks, books, puzzles/games, crafts, tools, etc. I check back 1- 2x/week. Even if I don't find something, it's a fun outing.

Great, quality stuff. It has less than Goodwill, but that just means you don't have to spend hours sorting through junk. Best part is they ACTUALLY help the community! We always donate here over Goodwill or Salvation Army and recommend others do the same

The people that work in this place are the BEST! Sweet, kind and helpful. Im a frequent flyer and spend quite a bit here. I went today and was so disappointed.. Evidently someone is attempting to change this store from a thrift store to a "vintage" store. (The little white hanging tags, completely different from any other pricing?) Prices are now ridiculous. 35.00 for a lamp? Huh? Broken bottles and chipped vases for 5.00? You can buy new ones for less. Please STOP whoever is making these changes. Your merchandise is free to you. There is no inflation, in free!! So NO reason for these prices to change so drasticly. I buy things to give away to people that have a NEED , but sadly..... not much any more. It seems greed, not need, is winning, again.

It's still a fun place to shop for strange and old and unique items but there is NO REST ROOM. And their prices have gone up A LOT. I'd suggest going to the good will store instead

Very friendly, good prices, and seems to be well sorted so that most items are better quality. I agree with others: Much better than G----will Store and cleaner, too. Not overloaded with a ton of clothes nobody wants to buy! Even has a clearance rack:)

A great place to go, often. As they are not afraid of saying " if you don't: find what your looking for, come back in two days. I donate and purchase everything I can there. It is a great place to show your community support.

They've recently been under a dramatic redo and it looks wonderful and seems to be easier to shop. Some of their styles are for an older crowd (hey, young people, bring your stuff to donate here!), but stellar vintage collection. Proceeds support a local church, so keep it local and donate here!
