Between the arts and craft shop and the thrift shop we found sooooo much stuff for under $85 we spent hours between both places!

We had my daughter's birthday party here and it was awesome! The staff members who worked with us (Anthony and Lydia) were very welcoming and helpful. They helped us set up, planned a fun craft, and assisted the kids as they worked. Then the kids got to go fill gift bags with odds and ends from the barrels in the warehouse. The kids loved "shopping" for stuff to take home! All in all a lovely experience as a parent with rave reviews from my kid.

Awesome place to go treasure hunting for "found" objects and other random items to use for art projects. Plus some toys, teacher items, fabric and more. And pet friendly! (Please check policy before going.)

Elana Etten | Sep 18, 2021

I know that all of the staff are required to wear masks, have temperature checks daily and do contact tracing for their staff. Customers are required to wear masks and they have hand santizier stations in the building. Everyone is encouraged to stay at least 6 feet apart. If you want to donate any old items, you can register for a drop off appointment on their website. I hope that helps!
