Smyrna Thrift Store

I was impressed with all of the rave reviews about Smyrna Thrift Store so I packed my little ones in the car and headed there around 9 this morning. I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. I didn’t even get my double stroller past the door when a very rude morbidly obese woman yelled «No! You CANNOT come in here with that stroller.» Excuse me? «You can’t come in here with that stroller». I explained to her that the stroller was necessary to transport my one year old twins, to which she responded by pointing to a sign at the register that read ‘no strollers or large bags’. She didn’t apologize for the inconvenience or offer a solution. Disgusting. I am a stay at home mom and we have NEVER encountered this issue before at any establishment. To my delight I discovered a Goodwill across the street which was cleaner, brighter, more updated and friendly.

I recently visited this store and everything was fine until I was confronted by a worker there. He yelled across the room as I was looking around and on the phone. Started talking about how I needed to take my book bag to the cashier and leave it with her if I want to continue looking around in the store because they have a lot of people stealing in there. Thank you sir for embarrassing me when you could’ve been more professional. First of all, it’s not a back pack. It is a small purse pack that even the Braves stadium allows in. Second, I’m not leaving my purse with anyone! So if anyone shops there that has a bag that goes on your back be ready to be asked to leave it with the cashier. So unsafe to ask that I or anyone leave their personal belongings with a stranger. Just because she or he has a job there doesn’t mean they wont steal anything. So that forces you to either take a chance there or take a chance leaving it in a car. Also feel several things. One, the bald white stocky white guy working on 5÷31÷2016 needs to be trained on how to approach customers and be respectful. Two, if you are going to require back packs or small back purses to be left up front, then why not require baby carriages and Medium to Large handbags be left up front to, as well anyone who wears a dress as that is the new things to shove things up there and walk out. I’m not against anyone or calling anyone out, just feel if you are going to ask of one thing then all should be required as that is discrimination. I call that word because there are some women/​men who wear small back packs because they feel carrying a purse is dangerous. Also those people who take that measure not to match their outfit with cute purses for sure doesn’t feel safe leaving all in the car. There are so many things I can mention if you want to go there on this store. It’s dark, it’s dirty, the workers are always in the back talking about their personal lives, the store owners appearance as a store owner is unprofessional, the cashiers appear over worked and the list goes on. This for sure is something that should be fixed. Wake up, your a thrift store and far from the cleanliness, friendliness of staff etc status of the Goodwill across the street from you. Also, you’re a thrift store, you get stuff for free, put a tag on it and sell it. Not like you are losing anything. Besides if you want to really get down to it, use the money to put cameras in the building, brighten the light, hire more staff and put Atlanta GA giving peoples money to use outside of making yourself rich! I once spent a lot of money there each month and now I will take my business else where because this is the only place in Atlanta, Ga I have been told I have to leave what I own with someone who don’t own it if I want to continue shopping and thank you to the staff worker who called it out loud enough everyone in the store turned around and looked at me like I was stealing. Anyone wanting to go here that hasn’t, I wouldn’t and those who do go and love it for the reasons they do, be aware of the rules they have so you don’t get embarrassed like I did. I usually don’t care about anything because the last thing I would ever do is hurt someone, steal or anything. I am a good person who was enjoying the moment only for this to happen and being it bothers me when nothing really ever does, I want everyone else to know! Thank you for reading.

I’ve been here more than 10x’s. Im not sure why I never thought to Unilocal it. This place is cheap. Cheaper than cheap! A lot of stuff to choose from like: furniture, movies, clothing and even some diabetic supplies. Odd but true! Most days are color coded sale days of course! You must have time to find the treasures because they get so many donations, it’s just items all
Over the place.
The smell, never realized it because I actually like going shopping here for those certain wine glasses or random black pants for work. Enjoy! Have fun!

They have brand name shoes and lots of nice stuff. I got over like a fat rat! You will love this store from the time you come. A lot of thrift stores bother my allergies because of the different smells but this store didn’t have an odor at all. The things here were in tip top shape. You will not go wrong when you shop here. Hope you enjoy!

Smyrna Thrift is my absolute favorite thrift shop in Smyrna!
Great prices, HUGE inventory, and always something to find. Some of my favorite items are from here.
The staff is generally very nice. It’s a thrift store, so it’s not CLEAN or UPDATED, but the stock turns over pretty regularly and they always have great deals. Not just one sale, but several different ones going on at once! Love it.

Being a frequent customer of the store, I’m very pleased with the merchandise. It is always full stocked and well maintained. But I had a horrible experience with the dirty blonde 20 something associate who rang me up today. When I first approached the register, she was explaining procedures to a new hire. She proceeded to ignore me for several minutes. When she finally acknowledged me, she said she’d be with me in a couple minutes, even though there were two people in line behind me and one waiting at the glass case in front. When she finally starting ringing me up, she continued to ignore me and talk to the new associate, bad mouthing other employees and procedures in the store. I finally asked her to take care of me, so I could finish my shopping and leave. She then told me, «I am training someone. You can leave at anytime.» This has turned me off to ever shopping at this store again. This employee should be trained on how to be attentive and respectful to customers.

they have a good selection of babies and children clothes. goodwill is directly across the street and smyrna thrift has better selection for kids. kids grow so quick that I like to pick up some kids clothes whenever I am in the area. filled up a whole bags with jeans, pajamas and more and it costs $ 17. at babies r us it would have been $ 75.

Thrifting has been essential for me while losing weight, so as I drop sizes, I can still consistently wear professional, well-​fitting clothes at work without spending a fortune. But I HATE searching through huge racks of unsorted clothing, hunting for my size. Enter Smyrna Thrift! Unlike Goodwill, the sizes are actually in order here. Items are priced roughly by quality (name brand and new-​with-​tags items in particular being a bit more expensive), and overall, they’re cheaper than GW.
They also rotate the color of the tags that they use to price new merchandise each week, and three tag colors that have been out on the sales floor the longest are on a 25% – 50% – 75% off sale. So every week, a new selection of items is discounted.
I recently picked up two pairs of black trousers, two dress shirts, and eight cheap t-​shirts for working out in — for a total of about $ 25.

What can I say? Its a thrift store. The good: it is clean, quality of clothes is decent, they do have specific colors that have a percentage off from 25−75%. Very nice selection of women formal wear. Great book selection. The not so good: the prices! I LOVE to shop thrift and consignment, with that being said, I do not expect to pay)12.00 for anything in a thrift store, particularly for brands such as Forever 21! The prices of the items range from $ 3.00-$ 20.00! The majority of the items do not fit into «sale category». Will I return– probably not! Maybe you will have better luck than I did!

A decent thrift store. I found them to be very organized in terms of clothing, and the staff is nice. However, they are a tad bit overpriced. I did see a lot of nice items for work and great outerwear pieces.

I really enjoyed this location. After searching the web for thrift stores in the area i came across this store. It was a very pleasent store, very well organized and the staff were very nice. Just as a plus the store is organized by size which is a huge help.

*Catches a quick tune*
What I want.
Baby, you got it.
What I NEED.
Do I know you’ve got it?
Well, I do, baby.
And this is why I am now a regular spend thrift at the Smyrna Thrift store. Located right off of South Cobb Dr., this particular thrift store carries everything.
Picture frames? Yes.
General housewares? Sure.
Many types of clothing? For all people!
Furniture? Indeed.
American Express? Doubtful.
Smyrna Thrift Store may only accept cash or debit, so check yourself for these items before you arrive. During my SEVERAL trips here over Halloween season, I was able to find a bounty of great clothing for lower than I ever expected. I was able to purchase suit wear for under FIFTEEN dollars, and «That J. Crew Skirt» in my size, for $ 8? Mind. Blowing.
(You see, it’s continuing to be blown because I know the rabbit hole doesn’t end here…)
MANY items are priced to sell and marked as «take this % off a red (white, blue) tag item!» meaning that you walk away with an ever greater sale.
I must have spent an hour just looking through the VHS tapes, alone.
So many copies of Titanic are waiting for you… in the Smyrna Thrift Ocean.

This is by far one of the best thrift stores that I’m come across. It has better prices than the Goodwill across the street. The clothes there were in great condition. It has been added to top of my list. You are sure to find something in here.
I just wish they will have more sale days like the other thrift stores in the area.

I agree with the first reviewer– the new furniture that lines the front of the store is a bit off-​putting for any die hard thrift shopper but once you step away you can actually find some great little buys. I found a fab vintage glass decanter in perfect condition for 3 bucks. It’s certainly worth a visit if you are doing an afternoon of junk shopping as there are several shops within a fairly small area.

The Smyrna Thrift Store really didn’t impress me the first few times I went in. Something about the new furniture in the front made the whole thrifting experience unauthentic. Plus, Goodwill is right across the street and more people are inclined to donate there. However, I decided to venture in for some summer clothes hunting and came up on some great finds.
If you can get past the scent of «old» wafting through the air, I promise you’ll find some cheap, cheap goodies. (Much more fairly priced than Goodwill.)
