Horrible place! A bunch of junk piled in that is over priced and mispriced when you get to the register. The ladies there were so rude! Arguining with eachother over the labeled price. I won’t be back. They can keep their 10 year old sneakers for $10. Thanks though!
Edit to their response: there was no confusion over anything being half off. I support other thrift stores and will donate there. The price was on it cleAr and simple.

My experience at The Thrift Station was a bit lackluster. The store is quite small and I didn't find anything I liked or needed. The staff was fine, but I don't think I'd come back. The store was somewhat disorganized, but not particularly dirty or anything. All the prices were super low but it was sort of a random selection like porcelain christmas knick knacks, kid's clothes, board games, toys, and books.

I was referred to this center by my local Pediatrician, I called a few weeks ago to schedule an appointment to no avail. I was told that they are NOT accepting any new patients at the time and they will be reviewing case loads on the 1st and I was to call back. The person I spoke with did not ask why I was calling, what could be going on, was there something should could help with nor could she take my number and call me back when things changed. Basically the very least any professional place would ask.
I called less than 5 minutes ago, on the 2nd and was told the same exact message. No new patients

My name is Miho Byrns and I had Elizabeth Gottford which I absolutely adored and loved! She was very sweet and very very helpful. I improved so much within the last couple months I was seeing her.
However, unfortunately the receptionist did not make me feel welcomed. I feel like the environment should be very comforting, and genuine. I felt as if the receptionist (a female
in her early 20's, with dark hair) was a little rude and impatient. That is not the environment you want to set for patients coming in with possible mental health issues. For someone who deals with anxiety and occasional
