Overall great place! Good central location and usually a decent selection. I agree with all the other reviewers about the prices being a bit outrageous, but haven’t had the issues other people mention about the cashiers being rude.

I have been going to Great Finds since it opened, and have always found it a wonderful place to shop! Susan the manager is Awesome! She sources an eclectic collection of quality things! I have had many compliments on the clothes I have bought there, & try to go there whenever I can! The creativity Susan puts into her windows amazes me, she really goes to town! She is also incredibly patient with her workers there, most of whom suffer from disabilities. She gently pushes them into new experiences, so that they can gain independance. She models grace, acceptance of others, and dedication to her job, at the same time as sourcing things, recieving doations, answering phones, window dressing, managing employees, pricing, & helping with difficult customers, and finances, to name just a few of the numerous things she does! She helps employees grow from sometimes hardly speaking or having trust, to having confidence, which is not an easy job! So to anyone who has criticisms , perhaps more tolorence, & acceptance is needed on their part?! Because there is noone that could do the amazing job that Susan does!

Woman at the register, not the owner was very rude. Could not stand in the dressing room for more than 2 seconds before she was outside the curtain yelling for me to hurry up. And she did this to every customer who went in after us. She even had the audacity to make a snide remark about another customer only purchasing one thing. Maybe they would have purchased more if they had time to try things on. Very rude and condescending, can’t say I’ll be back.

Love this place! I have been shopping here for years. They give people in our community who struggle with *fill in the blank* an opportunity to work. A basic human right ... The mechandise is based on donations, so they have NO control over the sizes of clothes and shoes. (this is for another poster that seemed miffed over that - seriously?) The prices are fair for an organisation that is trying to sustain this jobs program, in a time of Trump (he's grossly unqualified for the job) and the war on the disenfranchised members of our community. Sometimes the donations include vintage pieces and sometimes they don't (for the poster that was miffed about that - again, seriously?). I have shopped there and watched brides who have little to no money walk out with an amazing wedding gown. I have seen church ladies buy a new hat for Sunday, or a woman buy a suit for her first job after getting back on her feet from a terrible situation. This place is much more than a re-sale store, this place is a gathering spot for all of us who believe in the power of community. On a final note, the people who work there are not rude, they are kind and sweet, and are struggling with *fill in the blank*... so for those of you who demand sales people fall all over you when you walk in a place...this is not the place for you. Please go to the big box corporate stores in the mall, and leave this place to all of us in the community who value, and love this place - and all who work there!!
