I dropped off multiple bags of unneeded clothing and books to this thrift store, conveniently located in the downtown part of Lawrence. This worked out great for me as I was moving out some items from a relatives home. The drop off door in the back was good, someone came to retrieve the items, they seemed surprised that I had a few bags, I’m not sure why. This seems like a great thrift store, the only issue was with the parking in the back. It was very difficult to find a parking space, and I would have thought the parking spaces would have been free, but they require coins, which I don’t always carry. I literally double parked for less than 5 minutes to bring items to the donation door, but I don’t recommend it! Perhaps they can upgrade the parking payment to electronic payment and add more spaces elsewhere??Nevertheless, I am very glad that this thrift store exists! I was in the area going through many unneeded items, many of which were in good condition and I hope someone else can enjoy them. All best wishes to them!

Sell the building and move to a side street and lower your prices. It's that simple. I've visited 100's of thrift store and this is as close to retail as you can get. Now, beyond that...it's like a high end Loemans of 20 years ago. All the workers or volunteers were very customer oriented. The store was immaculate ( unlike 90% of thrift stores). They also took strong pride in working there. Now, go sell and move to a bigger space and lower the prices. Also, do consignment. May the organization also help many more women and post their current accomplishments in that dimension as well. People like to know who and what they support these days!!

The associates are friendly, professional, and go out of their way to help. I enjoyed the 30% off for Valentine's day. Clearance racks were awesome as well. I enjoyed my shopping experience.

This place is awful. The woman at the counter was being so rude to the woman In front of me. The customer was clearly confused as to why the worker was charging her for more than what the item was priced as, and wasn’t very nice about it either. After seeing that I just left.It’s also not a thrift store at all. Things are WAY overpriced and it’s really disappointing. I’ve worked In plenty of department stores to where I know which brands are worth what. They are selling dresses clearly from the early 2000’s for 40-70 dollars. I genuinely love thrift shops and this place is just not it. While I understand the profits go to a charity, it still doesn’t make it ok to overcharge people at a place where the clothes you are buying are old and worn by other people.What a rip off

Waaaaaay to over priced for old used things you’d spend a lot less getting updated brand new items of quality from marshals hands down I’ve bought imported vases and large decorative glass bowls made extremely well for $8.00

Well organized and well stocked thrift store. The prices which I saw were through the roof! Compared to an average garage sale or even another thrift store, these prices were sky high. I've been to thrift stores even in the Hamptons but this one was untouchable for me. I don't spend $40-$80 for someones used sneakers. There were changing rooms to try on clothing but for some reason a woman in the store removed her shirt and was trying on clothing giving everyone a fashion show, like it or not.There were plenty of people shopping here so hopefully the store is doing well but I was priced out.

I always come away with a few items I'm absolutely ecstatic about. They have designer clothes and shoes for all ages. They are consistent with their annual big sales. There's a fitting room but the only thing is it's unisex with no doors. Just a wide space and mirrors. They sell furniture at the back as well.

Excellent selection of beautiful clothes in great condition, and the inventory is always updated with amazing finds and great deals. The staff are friendly, helpful, professional and keep the store looking great. I got a new summer wardrobe for a bargain price, and it all goes toward a great cause. This is thrift store shopping at its best!

I absolutely love this store. The staff is wonderful and they have quality merchandise. Prices are reasonable and the sales and promotions they have from time to time are great. I’ve scored some great item from their clearance racks.

Great merchandise at bargain prices. I can't believe the prices I paid for really beautiful clothes, hand bags and accessories. They sell household items and furniture at rock bottom prices as well. The sales people were very helpful and pleasant. If you like bargains, this is a great place to shop

This shop has it all. I was amazed at the large variety of clothing, including lots for men as well as women. They have suits, shoes, tops, belts, jewelry, and more. The prices are fantastic. Put it on your list to visit.

You can find unique items here in clothing or items for the house. You might just find the replacement for that broken plate! I found one that matched. The people who work there are very attentive and helpful.

I agree with last reviewer to an extent. I went in and found some video games and a movie, nothing that's worth much so if you're looking for videogames don't waste your time.But I went to the back of the store and found more stuff I was intrested in after picking up some stuff an employee told me rudely I could not be back there so I left that area I asked another employee how much for the games and movie they were saying a dollar each which was ok because these were like all sports title games that were incomplete like missing the manuel or box.So while walking to the front I noticed a sign saying no cell phone usage (I'm assuming so nobody could google prices) but when I got to to the register and said the employee said the games were like a dollar each she said she was uncertain about that and she started ebaying prices on the computer!Long story short I left behind a lot of stuff there, and ps I believe me and the last viewer are thinking of the same women: claiming prices were not the same as others said or were labeld, being rude, and forcing you to leave stuff behind.

Over priced. Beware this is not a thrift store. Yes your money is going to charity, but you are not getting any type of thrifty deal. They over price things
