Leeward Light

The best Thrift Store around the area. Friendly service, clean & great variety.

They have alright stuff, but the prices are a little to high. Its a thrift store, not antique store.

Best thrift store in the area. If you see something you think you want, don’t leave it there. It won’t be there tomorrow. Inventory moves quickly in this store because the prices are right. If isn’t isn’t too expensive I just buy it. If I change my mind later I donate it back. If you buy something electric be sure it works before you leave as they have a no return policy. They are doing great work helping the community tremendously with an efficient way to recycle and reuse and with the loads of money they donate. «Leeward Industries, Inc. is now able to donate over $ 200,000 annually to local charities» Wow!

BUYER BEWARE is their policy, the owner said.
When I tried to return a large toaster oven that did not work the rude owner told me NO WAY. Buyer beware. SHE ACTUALLY SAID «OUR POLICY IS BUYER BEWARE» !
They give you 24 hours to return items so when I asked where the policy was posted she said it was not… it was verbal only! I have been shopping there 3 years and even donated lots of things for them to sell. I have bought many things I didn’t even need and donated them to friends and neighbors. I was left speechless when the rude owner (the husband and son seems very nice and I had chatted with them several times) was adamant about not letting me take another toaster oven in place of the one that did not work. After all, they get them free!
Ostensibly a portion of the sales goes to charity but I surmise it is a very small part. The owner should be a little nicer considering her financial well being comes from the goodness of strangers who GIVE her things to sell. I imagine most of the money goes to herself and family. I wonder if their books are open? The employees are volunteers so there is little overhead. Amazing how someone can be so rude to someone who has been buying their products for three years AND donating other objects for her to sell.
I will never go back. I heard from my neighbors they were unhappy with the same ‘wife’ who treated them rudely. They also agreed the husband and son are very pleasant. Too bad. I am sure the business will go down the drain if they continue their policy of BUYER BEWARE!!! nice way to run a ‘charity’…

A decent thrift store with tons of good stuff.
This place is fairly clean, and well organized AND has reasonable prices to MOVE items and not let them sit and collect dust.
Yeah spent a good 45 minutes looking and did not want to stop, and that was just with the housewares. I did not even bother with the clothes racks.
Not sure what charity this ORG services. I am sure it is a good one (In faith.)
