B & R Thrift Store

Felt pretty old and worn out. I love some thrift shopping and go to some everytime I go out of town. I was very disappointed at this one. Although I like the way everything was in their sizes, I felt like most of the clothes were geared towards the 60+ crowd.

This place is not that awesome we think, yeah sure that we got the items for real cheap. previous week we went and it’s partially empty. I mean other than the clothing nothing is that good. I was looking for a Polaroid Camera and some other electronics item. they have a huge dress and footwear collections for sure… some people may find that wonderful… as far am concerned they lack the cleanliness… May thrift store meant to be like that… No offense I would have given 4 star if they have some more vinyl collections and electronics like camera and music.

Today my mom and I came out to B&R to meet an ATL fashion blogger. This place is amazing! The selection is huge and the prices are great! The store is very clean and the staff is friendly and very helpful. The manager is named Maria and she was very kind as well. I found a pair of cowgirl boots (which I’ve been looking for forever) with little wear at an amazing price! If I lived closer I would be here every weekend! I would highly recommend this for new and experienced thrifters.

This place is great! Maybe the surrounding area/​parking lot is a bit sketchy, but this thrift store is actually a really good one, as far as thrift stores are concerned. Now, I go to a lot of thrift stores, and I realize that it will always vary. But there are a few things that make this place sort of different, in a good way.
I once found some of my favorite rap records here. I guess some one was getting rid of their collection, and their trash was certainly my treasure. Picture this. Notorious, Eminem (Slim Shady EP!), Nas, Ludacris, DMX, and Three Six Mafia. Pretty much 90’s gold right there, and before you ask yourself if I bought them all… Yes, yes I did. And the last time I went there (last week), I found 3 Nat King Cole records, all in really superb condition.
Not only that, but this place has an awesome little book nook. Not what you’d usually find at thrift stores, with three book shelves, but an actual little alcove behind the records that has all of their books. And there is indeed a lot. There’s also a nice little winter collection of things, hats, gloves, and scarves in that area. I found a really great mustard beanie a couple of week back in that section.
The way the house wares are set up are a bit haphazardly. On every row of clothes, there’s a little shelf. This is where tons of random housewares are set up. It’s a little weird, and difficult if you’re in the mind for something specific, since they’re spread out all over the store. But I can deal, since I was just looking for weird things. The prices in this place are also really good. They always have some kind of color that is ½ off (pretty much like most thrift stores), and they also sort by size, so it’s easier to find something in the size you want.
I was looking for an ugly Christmas sweater when I came to this place, and on that front, they seemed to have been cleaned out. But no matter, I still walked away with some great record choices once again.

It really depends on what you are looking for as far as thrifting goes. I find a lot of 80s-​90s type clothes. Yes, lots of jackets with shoulder pads. If you are looking for anything that would be recent and trendy, you’ll be better off elsewhere. However, the 99 cent tag day is pretty darn good. I came out with 2 jackets for 2 bucks which is awesome. Be prepared to dig for a long time. The store is quite large, a bit seedy looking which may put off most people which is good for me. I think it can be hit or miss. The staff, I can’t really praise, I was kept waiting for quite a while when there was 2 staff members behind the counter and no one else waiting to check out. However, 2 jackets for less than the price of 1 shirt at Goodwill is A-​Okay in my book.

I personally cant believe there arent more high reviews. I think this is a great thrift store. Very organized and friendly people. It is a large store with alot of nice items at low prices. My only problem is I end up staying a long time!!!

This place is one of my favorite thrift stores.
Thursday = ladies day! 50% off women’s clothes
The reason this place is sooo much better than Goodwill?
They actually take the time to sort clothing BY SIZE, which saves a ton of time.
(Goodwill sorts it by COLOR, which means you could look at 45 purple shirts to find that only one is actually in your size.)
They also have racks on the ends of most aisles to showcase «Better Dresses» or «Better Shirts» which = usually the name brands or fancier stuff.
Plenty of cashiers and very friendly customer service.

B&R has been my go-​to thrift store, mostly when it comes to themed parties and costumes, for the last few years. If you are looking for vintage gems or designer threads, as a previous reviewer mentioned, it may not be your first choice. But if you are looking for very specific items or a wider variety of clothing, household goods and accessories — B&R is your place.
From my family’s tacky Christmas sweaters/​mom jeans competitions to my zombie wind-​up doll Halloween costume, they have not let me down.
Their prices are far better than Goodwill’s and every week, there is 50% off on two different colored tags along with daily specials (half off of men’s clothing, kid’s stuff, shoes, etc). I have never paid over $ 5 for anything, most items I’ve purchased have been around $ 1 – 2. Again, depends on what you are after.

Not bad!
After flying in from California to Atlanta/​Sandy Springs, my sister knew I wanted to hit up thrift stores! B&R Thrift Store was my first Georgia Thrift Store experience.
On this evening (Friday) they were having some sort of stylist event. Local stylists were invited to choose items and style them. They had a live DeeJay, door prizes, and videographers were interviewing a few of the stylists.
The low down:
*Clothing is arranged by category and size (+)
*Clothing is pretty neat and orderly (+)
*Prices are VERY affordable (I found a colorblocked faux leather skirt for $ 2.99)
*They offer discounts on certain colored tags
*You can find some nice vintage items
Overall, I had a good experience here. If I had some time to spend (sans thrift store hating sister), I would have extended my stay and browsed some more.

There are a lot of great thrift and consignment stores in and around Sandy Springs nowadays, but unfortunately, this one has been a bust for me. A couple of people recommended going here, saying they had found some fantastic designer pieces of clothing (Marc Jacobs, etc) at amazing prices. I’ve stopped by twice and both times I’ve found the selection to be rather minimal for a store this size. The quality of the items for sale leaves much to be desired (not only were there no designer or high-​end items, but the only recognizable brands I saw were from Wal-​Mart, Cato, and Target, and showed very visible signs of wear. At up to $ 6-​$ 7 per item, why buy the item second hand? There was almost no vintage clothing, either, with the exception of a couple of hideous dresses from the 80s. Maybe I’ve just stopped by on their off-​days when things were picked over. On the upside, I will say that there’s a large selection of used books, so that section is worth checking out if you’re looking for something to read. Also, the proceeds from this store go to charity, which is great. Otherwise, I don’t recommend going here expecting to stumble upon any thrifted gems. I prefer Goodwill.

Mass amounts of shoes one long wall is dedicated to just shoes.
Clothing for men women and children, books, movies and knickknacks are available and in some areas items will reach the ceiling !
Guys– if your looking for blazers your sure to find one there are racks of them.
Ladies– coats, dresses, jackets and skirts new to dated are here.
Move over Good Will you’ve got a little competition.

Love how everything is cheap and there’s always a sale. Everything here is under 6 dollars (almost).
