Frontlinez Thrift Store

I’m not really sure what to start with… I noticed this store on my drive and you know how I am about thrift stores, I HAD to check it out. However, upon entering, I felt like I was walking into an episode of hoarders, only they had already started getting rid of things. The shop is just very trashy (that’s not a very nice way to put it, but it needs some organizational help and general cleaning). There were three men on staff when I walked in who were all very friendly and attentive, but the shop itself was very off-​putting and did not make me want to stick around. They had one beautiful vintage china cabinet that caught my eye, but at a whopping $ 189.00, I felt like it was on the very high end for a thrift store. The sign does read «upscale» thrift store, but there is definitely nothing upscale about this shop.
If you’re looking for a used washer or dryer, they had several, along with a couple couches, decorative and office chairs and coffee tables. A handful of kitchen items and a rack full of books in the back in a room that I’m not sure I was really supposed to go into? It looked like it doubled as a lunch room as well as part of the store. I’m sure it takes a lot of work to run a thrift store; you get stuff that people don’t want anymore and have to make other people wait it. Frontlinez has a lot of work to do before they will have people rushing to fulfill their thrifting addictions. And to top it all off, their sign says they’re only open Thursday-​Saturday, although I visited on a Sunday about 4pm, so I can’t even tell you when they’re open regularly. Hopefully this will be a constructive criticism for the owner to clean up shop a little.
