Really nice thrift store!!! Definitely worth stopping and seeing what they have!!! I plan on definitely being back in the future! Thanks for a great experience!!! Love thrift stores because things change constantly!!! Books are cheap an pretty well organized!!! It is not completely in disarray like many thrift stores! Prices are very reasonable!

I have loved this thrift shop until today!!!! I have shopped there almost every week for the past year, after moving to the area, I stopped in today looking for something for my daughter… and the lady working there was so extremely rude, she actually commented on my physical appearance , with several other customers around me … “with the just trying to help mentality “ I was literally in tears, I was shocked and it took me a few minutes to process …but, I did tell her that her comment was rude and unnecessary that I have been in dozens and dozens of times.. I knew what section I was looking at… ( this is not in my character to stoop to the level of this woman .. but I wanted her to know what she said was 100% wrong!!!Ignorance is alive and well in this place!

Please please please read this review before going!!!Do not give this business any of your money! Employee (name unknown, was a female) viciously insulted my mom!!!! The employee insisted we shop in the "Asian" area. Super rude!!!! I've spent hundreds of dollars here and have donated my own clothing and furniture just for my mom to be sent out of the store in tears. When I confronted the lady about it, she denied it happening! Listen to the other reviews, the employees here are rude despite supporting their small business!

Don’t bother. Not thrift prices. Rude employees and if you are on medication such as lasix, please don’t ask to use their restroom. You need to leave and they suggest you go to a sandwich shop up the street. I sure want go thrifting there again.

It was a great place to shop and worth the drive but they have closed their public restroom. Like every other store has. I will mark it off the list.

Parking is the worst.We used to be regulars but my wife is handicapped and this has made it impossible to shop here.Tell this to your city council or lack thereof.Go

As always it was clean and well stocked with clothing and items for the home at very good prices. My wife got me 4 like new shirts that would have cost $25 to $35 each in the stores. We love the great deals we always get here.

Nice store. Need more weekend hours please. Alot of people don't get to visit the shop because of the limited weekend hours. Some prices are kinda high compared to resale shops in other NC counties. Even my family members say so. Between this resale shop and the one at Columbus Baptist Church Basement resale shop, these are the two closest to my area. Thankful for them both. Enjoy your day!! :-) :-)

Amazing prices, atmosphere and organization plus their mission too. Thank you for this store surely will drive out again to visit. The older lady running the register was not the kindest but the fella helping her made up for it and was trying to make her be kind with all his might :)

Called multiple times to see if taking items. They said yes. Loaded all the clothes up that were brand new never worn, and when I drove 30 minutes up there the older lady was very rude. Also, Requiring everyone, including people with disabilities, to wear a mask. No entry without a mask. The manager lady is very rude and needs to learn customer service skills.

Simply the best. Beautiful store. People there were wonderful. I recommend this store, if you don't shop second hand store's you should make the trip to Columbus NC . It sure will be worth it!

Some good buys , and some great buys here however, some things such as furniture is in my opinion over priced for donated used furniture,although the proceeds (to my understanding ) do go to a valuable women's shelter for abused women and children. That is why I love shopping there.

Good place to get supplies for crafting. Some items are to expensive for a thrift store though. However, it does benefit domestic abuse victims.

The employees and volunteers are extremely nice. However the prices are a little high for a thrift store on certain items.

I think people should go uptown to what we supported forever and see what they've got before they go anywhere else Operation HOPE is number one number one
