Riddle Thrift Shop

This shop used to be one of my favorites. The smell is overwhelming, like someone kept the clothes in an old trunk or boxes in their attic or basement, then consigned them. Check the clothes carefully for tiny holes and stains. Wish they had better options for the mens clothes they accept, do they only know the HAGGAR, Levi and Gap brands? Their «do not take» list looks like it could be revised compared with what they have in the store. Maybe the seniors should take a step back and paid staff should listen to the customers — really? No 2 piece dresses? Can you say office air conditioning? Lots of women want a little over jacket or a sweater with their dresses. The downstairs portion of the store requires thick skin, I don’t know about you but I don’t need to be reminded to not drop it, put it back where I got it, etc… Perhaps give everyone a survey with an email address after they spend 15 minutes at check out while the volunteers argue over how to work the register? This shop could be so much more…

Like looking around for great deals here and I’m rarely disappointed. From clothing to household goods, they have it all.

This was my second time being here and I just say I love it the clothes are very good quality and the ladies are very helpful and nice being a college student I want all I can get for my money I will definitely be back.

The quality of the merchandise is very fine to near mint, and the pricing more than fair. Personal favorites I have purchased are an excellent leather jacket, a designer mackinaw, and a barely (if ever) worn pair of minnetonka slippers. The staff is friendly and helpful, to the point of troubleshooting a lamp before I bought it. Definitely a must shop for the Vintage/​fine quality/​decent price crowd.

I have a good eye for things Found a vintage trunk here and was very happy I come here from time to time on Saturday because their hours are not like most stores

I usually have good success finding at least 1 good item here. Downside is I often feel uncomfortable with the staff. I don’t like being talked to like I’m a child, or like I’m wasting someones time. I’m paying like everyone else, no matter how young I might appear. I still might go back, but seeing how early it closes not as much as I would if they had better hours.

I don’t come here often but agree with Lori. This is a nice thrift store. I have found some very cool items here like vintage «I LOVE YOU PHILLY– highball cocktail glasses (set of 4 for $ 6) and a great vintage 60s rattan beach tourist beach bag with a map of Bermuda on it that zips up. But I must say reading Erin’s review was laugh out loud funny (I know she was being serious). Thank you Erin for making me laugh. I believe you. Still, if you are in the neighborhood and they are open, you should check it out– it’s a clean and spacious thrift store.

Lori may have had a sinus infection when she came in here. Oh course, it’s possible that I’ve simply been in there when the customers and staff had some bad food. It’s just never smelled terribly pleasant in here when I’ve been. Traditional thrift store smell, plus gassy uncle.
I’ve had mixed success with staff. Many are terribly nice old ladies, but a few, not so much. One lady downright crabbed at me when I brought a purse I’d found upstairs with me while I continued to shop downstairs. She snatched it from me, «to keep behind the counter!» and then complained loudly the whole time I was down there that, «the big purse back we’re tripping over back here» belongs to, «some lady who mistakenly brought it down.» adding, «I guess she didn’t see all the signs!»
Instead of looking at all the signs (I went back and checked, there were three), I’d been looking at the stairs and railing. They’re pretty narrow and steep. It’s really easy to trip and fall. Every time I’ve been there I’ve slipped or seen someone else slip. Beware.
Last complaint, which I do kinda understand, is that they sell all the dishes by FULL set. You can’t buy a plate, or just the teacups and saucers. You must buy all 4 saucers, 3 teacups, 6 desert plates, 6 salad plates, 9 dinner plates and punch bowl. Granted, it’s under 20 dollars for the whole set… but I just want the teacups and saucers. I asked if I could split the set. The answer I got was, «You can buy the set for full price and leave the pieces that you don’t want (they’ll sell those again).» Thrift store double jeopardy!
Anyway, it’s a perfectly nice little store with clothes, housewares and some books. It’s in the hospital grounds, but not in the hospital itself. Prices seem reasonable and the things are pretty decent. I’ve never been wowed by the clothes, but I’ve gotten some other nice things (even if I do have a punch bowl I don’t ever use). Right before Black Friday i got a nice comforter here for $ 10. In Macy’s that Friday I saw the same exact comforter on sale for $ 80! All in all, it’s a win for Riddle, just watch the steps and spritz yourself with some perfume before you come in.

Riddle Thrift Shop always has very nice, high quality items at great prices. I always find something everytime I come here and the volunteers are always so nice and helpful.

I am very picky about my thrift stores. If the store has a smell or it appears that they do not meticulously inspect their selections before they accept them I do not return. I am not trash picking, I am thrifting.
This is one of my favorites. I almost don’t want to tell you because you are going to go and get my stuff. I always finds something. Thrifting is a hobby and it gives me a little thrill and when I want a lift, they reliably fill satisfy my jones.
