There are a lot of thrift stores on Main Street but this one definitely stands out.
The decor is all ready to get you in the mood for trendy vintage items from the the '80s and '90s. I usually find great options when I want something that stands out or classics from years ago.
The space is quite big compared to other thrift shops I've been to and is well organized. There is space to circulate and, depending on what item you are looking for when you come in, you can quickly get to the jean jackets rack or the ugly Christmas sweaters. They also have a rack for unique trendy creations they make in store with the recycled items they receive.
If you have a bit of time, I recommend getting all the way to the back of the store where the real deals are. "The rag machine" situated at the back, sells items by weight and by piece and can be really worth it if you get to those bins. Get searching!
