I'm not sure what price complaints are about. I found a flawless Jos Banks tux (won't need a single alteration) for $60. On a whim I decided to look for formal shoes and they happened to be on half price sale. A pair of all-leather Italians that listed for $6-700 in stores were $5.00 (like new.) Maybe men's stuff is cheaper here?

A very interesting and fun thrift store. Always something there no matter how small👍

I could not find a pair of shoes for less than $10. Most of the shoes were $25-60 dollar. This is not thrift store pricing. Terrible pricing.The organization of the store is great.

Saw some cool items, but as other reviewers have said, this is NOT a thrift store by way of the prices.

Eclectic collection. The Dollar Wise Vintage Shop would be a better name. Many items are over priced for thrift, but it goes to a good cause. Be sure to take quarters for parking or use the 4 hr garage a few blocks away. This shop is on the edge of the historic district and there are other interesting shops and eats nearby.

Wonderful shop with so much to offer! Went in to kill sometime and found a few clothes and items I loved. Prices were beyond reasonable and had to stop myself from buying too much.

Not thift stores prices considering most of the items that I picked up today had been sitting there for 3 -7 months. Half of the items are on consignment.

I really like this thrift store. I didn't find any clothes but I found lots of cool things I would buy . I ended up getting a 3 pack of very good quality washable fabric face-masks for a great price. BTW they had a nice selection of designer hand bags

Cute place. Most prices were average and decent for the area. Found a great priced full suit; however it had a few stains on it and you cannot try anything on.

Worth checking out, however, experienced thrifters will see that some items are grossly overpriced - mostly because the staff is inexperienced in assessing quality. They often mistake plain ceramic for porcelain, for example. And some clearly costume items are treated as heirlooms...silliness.

I used to come here with my grandmother and volunteer behind the jewelry counter. It was the first "job" I ever had. A true treasure chest then and now.

Great deals from furniture to household items to jewelery. It's a great place that doesn't seem oppressive and smelly. It's got nice framed pictures, dishes and clothing. There is something for everyone.

The staff were very nice. True thrift store prices not like the one down the road. Found two cute pieces to add to my wardrobe.

The shop is nice and the people who work there are even nicer. There is a lot of clothing but there is also a good assortment of odds and ends. Worth a visit!

Best Thrift Shop on the Main Line, all proceeds go to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and they have the best selection of furniture/clothing around. Staff is very friendly and management is fantastic. A++++++

UNBELIEVABLE, RUDE TO CALL POLICE WHILE SHOPPING! WHICH IS LOCATED NEXT DOOR TO THEM, SO IF YOU ENJOY SHOPPING FOR USED ITEMS AT STORE PRICES, AND ARE TOLD TO LEAVE YOUR BAG AT THE FRONT DOOR, AND POLICE SCRUTINY, EMBARRASSING!!!!!!!! NO WAY! ARDMORE WENT DOWNHILL FAST!

I am someone who is lower income so it is a shame that thrift stores are beginning to get as pricy as a regular store ,this is a good example of that unfortunately.

I think this was a cute little place. But the prices were a little high and it’s understandable for the area.

What's going on at Pennywise? The store looked empty with fewer items & much more clothing. Just doesn't have the selections like they use to! Not like it use to be!
