Community Thrift Store

I don’t know what they are thinking here in this thrift store. The Place is filthy, disorganized, and a mess. There is absolutely no organization with anything in the store other than things being separated out by skirts, dresses, or pants etc. Nothing else is broken down by size or color or anything like that. It takes you forever to look for anything in the store.
The pricing here is ridiculous! They seem to think that if an item has a new tag on it that you should pay 50% of what the new cost was. So something claims from say Ross that the value is $ 150 they think you’re going to pay $ 75 for it! Well when you buy something from Ross it says it was valued at 150. you’re typically not even paying $ 75 at Ross for it. Seriously ?
There was a bridesmaids dress which has SAMPLE stitched across it. Someone is Smokin something to think people are going to past their prices. Someone seriously needs to get out a broom, clean the windows and lower the prices 50−90%

This used to be one of my favorite thrift shops. Was there last October with a friend & we really enjoyed it. So I return last week & everything is priced differently & like a 300% increase in prices. Used to be reasonable & great for the savy shopper. It’s WAY overpriced now. Has not been the same since it had that fire. Think twice before donating here. Management wake up! Walmart is next door. Very disappointed.

Men’s clothing is ridiculously overpriced. Haven’t checked women’s but I’m sure it’s the same. The sign outside says Thrift Store but their pricing is more like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Found a shirt there today new with tags from TJ MAXX that was reduced to $ 18 on the TJM price tag and this insane «thrift store» had it tagged for $ 24.
Even worse is they double staple their price labels right onto the shirt. Who does this?
Checked out the board games too. Each box was sealed up with so much packing tape you’d think there was gold inside. Forget about checking if a game is complete and worth buying.
This place needs new owners and/​or managers. Otherwise just name the place Community Store because there’s nothing thrifty about it.

Who the heck is writing the prices and color letter code on these items? Someone who can’t write? Prices are very difficult to read in this black grease crayon and done get me started on trying to decipher the color letter! Omg, how hard is it to write the letter «y» for example? Go… Back…To…School. Ridiculous.

Prices were odd and too high for a thrift store, men’s selection was very small, clothes smelled bad, and I even saw an old pair of tighty whities for sale. Overall the experience was disappointing and I’m leaving with one shirt after an hour search and the sensation of needing a shower.

I’ve driven past there countless times, and one day decided to stop in. I was pleasantly surprised at the sheer amount of *everything* they had in there. I went specifically before the summer in search of boys shorts. They had them and the amount of clothes was a bit overwhelming. The prices for the shorts were in the $ 3 – 5 range, and I didn’t think it was too bad considering what I normally spend at a department store.
Be sure to de-​hangar your garments prior to checkout, they have a hangar rack there for your used hangars. Otherwise the cashier will turn you away, and go onto the next customer until your garments are ready.

When my husband asks if I want to wait in the car, it must be pretty gross.
This thrift store is a little frightening. I have to agree with the other reviewers that the place is a mess and complete chaos. I really didn’t feel like looking through or sifting around for fear something with four legs would jump out.
It’s an obstacle course of icky stuff laying all over the floor along with kids strewn across the dirty store floor– ick with their parents nowhere to be found.
It’s not well organized and reminds me of a Hoarders episode.
I’m usually armed with plenty of Purell on hand after going to thrift stores, in this case I may need to add some tetanus to my purse.
I’ve always wondered how in the heck they keep track of things in thrift stores/​My guess is; they don’t. Logistical inventory nightmare. A lot of the things I did see that were laying around looked pretty beat up.

Was SOOOOO excited to stop in here to for dinner plates… I need 300! I was absolutely shocked at how overpriced everything was! This place is HUGE and I have no idea how they turn over items with prices so high! Also, all of the dishware was marked with one of those black china markers in the worse writing ever that you cannot even tell how much it is!
I hate when resale shops are priced too high… they are never going to get that crap off their shelves if they don’t price it accordingly! I hate that I wanted to take over 50 plates out of that store, but could’nt because they were way too expensive!
Bummed :(

Wow are you kidding me? Stopped in there to look for items to complete my Halloween costume and also because it is fun to browse resale shops. I had to take a double take at some of the things that I looked at because I thought the prices could not have been marked right. I actually saw women’s sweaters, used, nothing special about them marked as high as $ 24. I started looking at other items to see what they were priced at. Could not believe it. Saw a pot, scraped on the bottom, used a lot and it was marked close to $ 10. I even asked a person who worked there and she confirmed the price.
This store receives their merchandise by donations. When I asked if the proceeds from this store went to a charitable organization I was basically given a blank stare. I then asked if the store was self owned or part of a charitable organization and I was told it was self owned. Well, now that explains a lot. If you self own and keep the prices lower to accommodate many in the area that could use a break then that is not a bad thing. Consider it giving back to the COMMUNITY. To jack up the prices especially to people that really need a break is solely for the reason of padding your own pockets.
I believe that in time even the folks that need the most help will say to themselves, hey, I can buy this sweater brand new at Wal-​Mart for less than what greed is selling it for.

Dump ran by a greedy olé fool! Serves you right that you’re business burned!

I’m the first to admit that I am a frequent thrift store shopper, but this place is one that I would rather not frequent at all. I have been in here a handful of times, and granted I have found a few items of interest, but for the condition of this store and the price of the goods, I would not consider it very thrifty. It’s more unorganized and overpriced, if anything. Most of the smaller household items are broken, and a majority of them are bagged up in random assortments. The clothes are not «high quality» or «designer» at all, so whoever prices those items is sadly SADLY mistaken. Needless to say, I did hear the place burned down — which is tragic, but I suppose if/​when they rebuild or reopen, they should SERIOUSLY reconsider their sales strategy.

There is another Community Thrift Store in Aurora that honors the color code policy on ALL items. Certain colors are half price that day but this place doesn’t honor the color code on dishes and collectibles. Why put a «Y» for yellow on it when over pricing? they will overprice things, let them sit for weeks until people have banged them around and chipped them. Now they are worth ZERO and no one will buy them at all. If they would start out pricing things reasonably they would sell quickly and not be destroyed. I cannot stand the children running rampant in there either. They are just mangling the things on the lower shelves and their parents just walk away and leave them to their own devices. They should have a policy that parents with children must watch them at all times or keep them on leashes!
I asked one day what colors were half price, then pointed out that 6 of my items had the «Y» for yellow written on them. They refused to honor it telling me that only clothes and stuff are half price. Will be thrifting in Aurora more often, This place caught on fire last week. Bummer for them!
Oh, their charity, National Childrens Cancer Foundation is rated one of the worst for actually giving money to their cause. Look it up.

I would elect to vote zero stars for this dumphole.
I’m certainly not surprised at the bad comments about this so called,“thrift’ store. I will cosign on all that is noted here. This dump is over priced and ridiculous! This place has the WORSE, I mean worse customer service ever! Among other things wrong with this dump, they have the NERVE to have a policy that states women can’t come into their stores with large purses and diaper bags or the purses or bags will be searched. Yes, you heard right, women with large purses and diaper bags will be ‘randomly” searched at the whim of one of the hags at the registers. I’ve patronized this store for years and I carry my big leather bag at every store, even this dump and I’ve never had it searched by them nor anyone else for that matter. They will never search my bag and they can keep their policy and shove it up the manger (S) butt.
The reason for writing this review is to expose this store and their ignorant policy. My friend who was subjected to this foolishness was told by one of the HAGS that works at this dump that the reason her purse was needing to be searched was based upon some idiotic backward policy written poorly with a black marker that is taped on the walls at the entrance and registers, stating that large purses and diaper bags wil be searched or you will be asked to leave.(Are you kidding me???) Not only was my best friend rudely approached by the thrift store hag but another lady that I know was subjected to the same offense. Is this an epidemic with these idiots? My best friend was asked for her purse to be searched mind you, at the register by the same hag who rang up her items! My friend proceeds to ask why her purse was needing to be searched and the hag at the register stated,” because you have a large purse.” A large purse??? Not that I saw you stuff junk from the store down your purse, or we saw you on security tape stuffing crap in your purse. but, «a large PURSE! „
I’ve never heard such stupidity in all my shopping days. I’m mean what kind of crap is that?! That’s how these mooks treat their customer’s, I hate to see how the true thief is treated. My friend declined stating, „are you kidding me, I gave you no reason to do so, I paid for all my items and you’re not searching my purse.“ My friend then proceeds to leave the store and the buzzer at the door suspiciously goes off. How convenient! The manager at this point is on the scene and follows my friend outside and asks to search her purse now the reason being because, „the buzzer went off.“ (I saw one of the workers standing by the door, I know it was pushed for the button to go off.) Can’t prove their B. S but it’s highly suspicious that it went off because there was nothing in her purse to warrant it to go off. Also, she was asked to have her purse searched before she even reached the door. All Nonsense!
My friend at this point declines for this mutton head manger to look through her purse and the manager states very arrogantly and ignorantly that she will just, „ban“ my friend from ever shopping in the store and then if she does come in they will,“ call the cops and state she is trespassing.» Isn’t that the best customer service you’ve ever heard? These douch bags should get a medal for outstanding customer service. Mind you at this point my friend never went to her car the entire time while this dialog is taking place between she and the manager. The manager then tells her to just turn around and walk back through the door with her purse and then she wont search it. My friend walks back through the door and you guessed it, the alarm did NOT go off. Now, if she really had something in her purse that she didn’t pay for the alarm would of went off the 2^nd time she walked through it.
Apparently, this place is looking to find their asses in legal trouble with the nonsense they are playing. I’m almost certain that one of the workers who was at the door at the time, pushed a button of some sort so that the door alarm went off. All of it was highly fishy and utterly ridiculous.
It’s quiet obvious they don’t have a clue what good customer service is nor or they interested in keeping customers. I along with the two other ladies that I know will never, ever patronize this dusty, overpriced dump again. There are certainly plenty of stores to patronize, with decent workers, and better prices in the surrounding cities. Anytime, you have repeatedly, for years buckets and plastic containers sitting everywhere to catch rain fall from a raggedy store roof with police tape draped all over, you’re not interested in providing good customer service nor are you interested in retaining customers. These losers are only interested in the money from those customers with SMALL purses and wallets. This store has ignorant bunch of minimum wage rejects at the register and backwoods mangers running the store. A utter trainwreck!

Items here are not good quality & the prices are too high – especially for the quality. The store itself is dirty & items are piled on top of each other. Wouldn’t mind hunting & sorting if the prices were low enough to make it worth it. Have found a couple things here, but nothing great…

I’ve found incredible bargains here. My absolute favorite thrift store for men’s clothes. It’s like a cheap consignment shop, but like all thrift stores, be prepared to dig through a lot of detritus.
