Twice Is Nice is quite nice. When I first walked in the store, I was concerned that they may be overpriced. Well, if I was to be 100% honest — they probably are on a few things here and there. Thankfully, they had plenty of other items that seemed to be priced just right plus the money goes to a good cause, so I can definitely see myself visiting here again. This shop was very clean for a thrift store environment. Most areas were well organized and easy to look through. I encountered two staff people while I was there and both were really nice. Even the other customers were friendly. I’m always a fan of kindness. I surely did enjoy my visit here! Plus, I found the cutest little side table for the right price, so I left happy!

WOW! A man that cooks, c leans, listens, brings home lots of money and loves cats? Thats«Twice is Nice»! Finally a thift store full of clothing that DOESN’T SMELL! The racks are sorted by size and gender and everything I looked at semed to be clean and in good repair. They hd nice displays of how the cothes could e wore together. Lots of well organizted books and a nice jewelry selection– particularly clip earrings. I was a little disappointed in the houseewares — nice but not quirky.

this resale store had a lot of books, clothing, and china/housewares and furniture. I went in looking for a painting that i could hang in my office but there was not a huge variety of paintings. I did like the overall quality and variety and as the stock changes frequently, I would definitely return

I am hesitant to write such a review b/c it is our secret little gem! The people that work here are beyond friendly. The store is small but packed with so much stuff, and actually stuff that you want to purchase. I love their baby section! I think thus far our entire baby clothes stock is from here. It has become our weekly stop when we go grocery shopping.

I hadn’t gone in here for awhile and I just stopped in for an overdue visit. I got a skirt and 2 shirts for $ 7! All are great name brands and in fabuloust shape. As my visit many years before, the woman in charge was very helpful. I was asking some questions about purchases as well as donations.(They will take any season clothing). Lucky for me, this is located near a small grocery store that has awesome produce!

This place is a gem. I’ll be back really soon. Lots of unique items here as well as antiques towards the front of the store. I found an awesome free people jacket here for four bux! As well as several knick knacks for my house. They had some interesting art work in here as well. Very organized book selection too. Everything is priced so well and it’s priced to move. Love this place.

On a whim, I took a spin through Twice Is Nice today and bought a name-brand cardigan, two shirts for my son, and a Pyrex measuring cup for $ 3.50 total. I recently broke that exact same measuring cup and was thinking of paying full-price for a replacement, it’s been bugging me so much to be without it. Close call! Extra star for taking debit cards without a minimum purchase.

This is your typical small resale store, but, like the other reviewer mentioned, it doesn’t smell! The store recently changed locations into a bigger space two or three doors down from where it used to be. What’s good: –Good prices that aren’t jacked up to reflect the«thrift-store-shopping– became-cool-when-the-Olsen-twins-started-dressing-like-they– shopped-in-them» movement. –Awesome selection of cool and quirky home goods from the 50s and 60s, some still in their original packaging. I’ve seen hair curlers, fry cutters, waffle irons, tanning lamps, and«back massagers» all in their monochromatic, script font packaging from circa 1968.(gotta love the tanning lamp ad that says it gives you a healthy glow and to stick your kids in there for a few minutes a day!). –Two changing rooms to try on clothes –A large selection of fairly-priced books and cool and fun kitchen goods What’s Not-So-Good –not such a great selection of women’s clothing –stuff is jam-packed together in some areas Really though, the good does outweigh the bad, and shopping here is kinda like going through your eccentric auntie’s attic. It’s one of those stores that brings me a little piece of the past and a bygone era in which it was ok at put your kids under tanning lamps for that healthy glow while you set your hair in curlers so that your husband saw you fresh, clean, and pressed when he got home from a long, hard day at the office. :0)
