Just Between US

I found this place several years ago and for the life of me I am not sure why I go back. Today is my last visit. Not one time in 10 years has the owner acknowledged me coming into her shop. Not once have I heard a hello or even a goodbye after I have made my purchase. Not sure how she stays in business with her attitude but today was the last straw for me. I am a 58 year old white woman, much like her I would guess but a lot more friendly for sure. Sticking with Goodwill, they at least say «hello thank you for coming to Goodwill».

I love this nifty little thrift shop — and bonus points that it’s close to home! They do lots of sales; seems like every time I go in there’s a new sale going on, and I typically find some great deals. It’s obviously smaller than, say, a Goodwill or Salvation Army, but I think the selection is slightly higher quality, and it’s all arranged nicely (even if some of the racks might be a little close together & crowded — I guess they just want to squeeze a lot in!)
The saleslady is friendly and they have plenty of dressing rooms (although they’re a bit small and don’t have mirrors inside — you need to step out to view the hallway mirror). Also, it’s a little hard to see the sizes on the shoes/​boots, and they’re not arranged in any sort of size fashion — just displayed on the tops of the racks and shelves, so it makes it harder to shop for footwear.
Still, all in all, it’s a cute little place and I generally find something good, so definitely worth the trip!

As someone who frequents thrift shops I was unimpressed. It was junky, overpriced and I didn’t find any treasures. A lot of overpriced gap, forever21, talbot, etc. Cruise around the corner to the Salvation Army for a better selection and variety with designer labels tucked into every rack.

I’ve been shopping here for 10 years. Each season I start here before going anywhere else for trendy additions to my wardrobe since I can stretch my budget so much further. I find myself popping in every couple of weeks since they put new things out each day. Today I bought a new w/​tags summer dress for $ 13 w/​original tags of $ 98; that they’d just put out. If a hadn’t popped in I’m sure it would have been gone in a day or two. I can always find my favorite brands and I love the people that work here. I always recommend this place to my friends and it’s where I bring my out of town friends. I also consign my clothes here regularly to earn money! Every bit helps!

As a shopper:
Pros:
Friendly
There are always 25% off 1 item coupons
Sales can make some things ridiculously cheap (check their website)
Especially good for dresses and items that you seldom wear and don’t want to spend much on.
Surprisingly good selection of men’s shirts
Cons:
Smells like a consignment store
Dressing rooms are small and dark
Figuring out how clothes are sorted is not straight forward.
As a consignor:
Pros:
Payment is in cash and if you don’t come by for a few months they will total it up for you.
Deadlines to pickup clothes are clearly stated and they are fine if you come by early.
You can call to set up a consignment date
Cons:
Recently I’ve had trouble getting a consignment appointment. They seem to fill up for the season more quickly now. And try as I might I can never figure out what they will take and why. It’s a crapshoot, but they usually take something. Finally, when I do pick up what hasn’t sold at the store it can be quite a hunt to find my items and sometimes I’ve left things at the store because I just cannot find them.

Honestly, these ladies do a good job of running the shop. They are always polite and have a loyal customer base and the turnover of items seems reasonably quick. While a lot of the things in the shop aren’t to my taste (think Chico’s if you want to get a good idea of their inventory), I’ve gotten a few great pieces here at a total steal.

I have been popping in here on and off now since 1991.
It’s always a treat to see what brands you can find at really reasonable prices.
They have clothing that my 25yr daughter will wear and plus sizes that I can wear. We never seem to leave empty handed.

Don’t let the strip mall location fool you, this place is a treasure trove of high quality brand-​name professional clothing. While I was a bit strapped for time (they close at 6), in the short time I was there, I spotted plenty of mainstream favorites such as Gap, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Express, Nordstroms, and White House /​Black Market while also catching a few glimpses of gems from more specialty brands like Nanette Lepore, Chicos, and Coldwater Creek.
Prices are amazing as well! I ended up spending about $ 10 per item after sales tax and discounts. My finds included a beautiful embroidered maxi skirt and rayon dress from Coldwater Creek, stylish work or play dress from Moda International, and (my favorite) a gorgeous strappy boho hippy dress from Young Edwardian.
The junior department is a little sparse, and the dress selection in that department is mostly limited to S-​M. But for anyone 18 – 88 this is definitely a place worth checking out!

I grew up just a couple streets away, so I’ve gotta give this place some love. Just Between Us has been around as long as I have, so you know these ladies are doing something right.
The selection is in-​season clothing for women and juniors. There’s plenty of Banana Republic, Anne Taylor/​Loft, Gap, Target, and some boutique stuff thrown in. It’d be a good place to do some back-​to-​school or work wardrobe shopping. With few exceptions, everything is in good to excellent condition. My sister and I revisited today and walked away with four items between us. Prices are pretty reasonable for the selection/​condition of the clothes — I don’t think I saw anything in the store over $ 25.
The only disappointing section of the store, for me, are the accessories. Some of the shoes are scuffed and the assortment of jewelry and purses could be a little more current. Still, well worth a stop for the clothing!
What the other reviewer said about the sales is true. Check their website for sales dates.

Upon a second visit here, I’m starting to realize that the twice-​monthly sales events have a cult following. Like, shoppers actually KNOW each other and I was being introduced among the various ladies who obviously enjoy a good deal on duds. What a way to build up a customer base! Also slightly unnerving if you’re used to mostly anonymous thrift-​store shopping.
