Encore Upscale Resale

I don’t mean to be a hater, but I wish I’d known this was a Christian store before going in. Being subjected to endless religious music while shopping is just not for me. The selection caters more to an older crowd than youngish thrifters like myself. I will say that the store is well organized and the items are presented nicely – for example – the blankets and things are nicely folded and wrapped in ribbon.

I like this store because it’s organized and clutter free. They have many racks of clothes and separate them based on gender and size.
I found a nice pair of Northface pants for $ 20 and they looked brand new. On Wednesdays they have a discount for anyone UNDER 65, I thought that was kind of neat… it’s rare (if ever) that we youngsters get discounts :)

I really love this store! They have a lot of different sections so it’s fun to go and shop for a variety of items: women’s clothing and accessories (they also have a designer boutique area), men’s clothing, and they also have furniture and home goods. They always have certain sales, for examples the last time I went it was 50% off all home décor that week. They also have military, student, etc. discounts on different days (listed on the website). Their customer service has always been nice, they are friendly and packaged my items well (even the glass ones). I will continue to shop here!

I really wanted to get this review done quickly before I forget about my experience.
This place is fantastic. I’m not sure why anyone would complain about it other than having an isolated incident because as far as resale stores go, it was great.
All the proceeds for directly to one of the local churches. I think a lot of the people that were working there were doing it on a volunteer basis. They were playing praise music and everyone was quite pleasant.
I was really REALLY pleased that clothing items were sorted by size and some by color. It made shopping there extremely easy. Pants were about $ 2 per pair, shirts ranged from $ 2 to about $ 6. You could buy a lot of stuff on a budget here. Shoes were between $ 4 and $ 8. Really NICE shoes.
They had furniture, housewares, toys, clothing, books, and collectibles.
I bought about a dozen nice books for a dollar or less each, several inexpensive toys for the kids, a pair of pants, a blouse, and a piece of brick-​a-​brac.
There were some more expensive items behind the counter but I guess if you can afford a fur coat then the price shouldn’t shock you. I’m always surprised at someone who wants something so cheap for even less because it was donated. I’m always less surprised when someone uses Unilocal as a tool to try to hurt local businesses instead of giving honest reviews. It was donated to support a cause. Getting something for your support is just a bonus!
Nice resale shop, good people, great cause.

You know the stigma that Thrift stores have… that they’re gonna smell weird, be full of ugly pilled sweaters and styles you wore when you were in elementary school? Well, this is the place where those predictions are fulfilled.
It’s huge but full of really bad clothes and furniture. Honestly, don’t bother, unless you like to really hunt.
On my way out I see a sign encouraging me to volunteer at this store. Volunteer??? You’d have to pay me to be here.
