This place is one of my favorite places to visit when I am on this side of town. I never know what I am going to find and the prices are amazing. The people that work here are so nice and are always laughing. I love it here!!!

I absolutely love this place!! It is the only place I will donate to as 100% of their proceeds go directly to pets inc!! They always seem to have exactly what I need...and plenty that I dont ;) and their prices are unbelievable! Truly an organization focused on helping the community rather than turning a quick buck!! The place is nice layout is a bit crowded in some places but VERY organized and areas and prices are clearly labeled! Ive never had any issues finding what I was looking for! Staff has always been pleasant helpful and make you feel welcome. I just love this place in everyway a business can succeed this one nails every one in my book!!

Friendly staff, plenty of inventory, worthy cause. Their prices are a little too high given that their inventory is completely free through donations. Used to love shopping here for personal items as well as project pieces but it is nearly impossible to find amazing deals. I left several things there when I was browsing. Example: $15 for a wicker seat chair (with the wicker broken on one side). Its just not worth that price if I have to make repairs. Just saying...more inventory would move if the store had actual thrift store prices but Ive noticed this issue at several thrift stores.

Drove out of the way to come and check out thrift Avenue thrift store. We came 10+ minutes before they were supposed to close. We were planning on being in and out. The doors where locked and no sign of anybody. If your planning to come make sure you come at least an hour in advance. And dont go out of your way, they may just decide to close even earlier.

This thrift store is wonderful! You can find some truly great deals here, plus all proceeds go to Pet Inc ! Will definitely go back.

Prices are too high so I left things there. Higher than goodwill. Neat and organized though. Nice folks.

Loved the place! A lot of cool Nick nacks that are way cheap. Employees are nice too. Only gave it 3 stars because the workers seem lax about wearing masks and Id like to feel safe during a pandemic. Id like to come back but I dont know if I will unless the workers wear masks.

Great little thrift shop! Love the inventory is always changing. I found a few records and some cassettes there that I cant wait to listen to. Only thing Im a bit upset about is that some of the staff were not wearing masks. I would like to see everyone inside the store wearing masks so that I feel safer shopping there.

My mom and I had a wonderful time shopping here for the first time the other day! Everything is pretty clean and I think the merchandise is priced very well. If you compare this thrift store to Goodwill or salvation army, the prices are very competitive because its really good stuff. Goodwill is mostly junk now. I got my teenage daughter several very nice clothing items like Loft and Banana Republic. I read the other reviews about good stuff in the dumpster. I hope thats not true. Better to give it away than throw it away. I will definitely be coming back (from Spartanburg) to shop here for clothes!

I wanted to like this store when I walked in. Its everything you want a thrift store to be; lots of random one of a kind items, hard to navigate due to crowded aisles, it feels like youre going on a treasure hunt when you walk in. But the way they price things kind of ruins the object. Things like picture frame, coffee mugs, and wallets have the price and what Im assuming is the date received just haphazardly written on them with sharpie. No price tag, not even written on some tape and then stuck on. My partner found a nice wallet but the price was written on the pocket that the ID slides into. The cashier tried to get it off but it wouldnt budge. The bottoms of my really nice, vintage mugs have hard to read handwriting in them forever now which is kind of a bummer.

This is a wonderful thrift store and for a great cause too. I have donated brand new items there with tags on them and have found some items new with tags too. I cannot believe someone posted they wanted to return an item from a thrift store which you know is for charity. Unbelievable just consider it a worthy donation. Every time we buy something from there we give more than they ask for. Keep up the good work.

I went to the store for the first time---- I walked in and no one greeted me,it was a guy arguing with the cashier (which she turned out to be not very pleasant)---there was a sign that said $4.00 shoes but when she rung them up they were $12(I asked her about the shoes and she mumbled something) I paid for my items and told her she wasnt nice and I want be back...she was very rude,but it doesnt matter shell still be working there.🙄👎😡🙁

This has to be the worst place to shop. They sell nothing but junk. When you try to return something the nasty attitude girl named Dana says all sales are final when its not posted anywhere in store. I was a regular there but now I will never go back. Plus they treat their own emploees badly. I now wonder how they treat the animals at Pets inc. In which they also own. Very sorry place to shop. Will have better luck looking through a dump site!!!

Solid thrift store. Pricing a little confusing - big prices but big discounts so prices end up being ok. Great selection of some really cool vintage stuff.

Very cluttered little store. I gave up trying to find anything out of frustration. They hate for anyone to use their parking for that resturant as they say. Maybe if they were a little more accommodating it would bring more customers in.

I did not go to this store while they were open, but the dumpster was FULL of donations, all good stuff, I have no idea why this stuff is thrown away, people should know their donations are going in the trash. Thanks for donating!
