Red Racks Thrift Store

Compared to a store, I am having a hard time seeing this as discount store
They jack up prices on «tag discounts «so you aren’t actually getting a discount. Used/​worn/​stained/​torn/​broke/​aged stuff priced like clearance sale price of brand new stuff.
Pointed out this to store manager as I track items in store now regularly, and she got an attitude. Kansas one is the worst little short sassy manager mean to several customers and told an old man she didn’t care about his business.
It’s getting out of hand.

This is the third chance I’ve taken here. Every time I’ve been disappointed, but this time around it was bad enough to leave a review. Highly priced items, stained clothing, everything is always picked through (need more donations, not as many sales), and the dressing room doesn’t even have hangers.
There was a «sale» today but after a few women looked into it, you end up spending more than the discounted price on the tag. The employees argued and were rude to the woman. Not professional. Long lines with only one register open while other employees were fiddling around.

Highly overpriced and very crowded w items. Want almost full price for things that you can buy at Dollar General.

Ding ding, round two! After having visited the Redrex on S. Kansas Expressway earlier today, my girlfriend and I have decided to visit this one to find more deals. I was disappointed in the selection of pants for men at the S. Kansas Expressway store, so when I walked into this Red racks I was surprised to see a much larger selection of men’s pants. However, when I looked at the prices I was quickly dismayed. I found some pairs of pants that were in less than favorable condition, having holes and stitching that was coming undone for $ 27-​$ 30. it seems as though somebody was barely glancing at the clothing and arbitrarily placing prices on their tags.
Another disappointment is the Sunday sale features $.25 clothes if they have a white tag on them this week (different colored tag each week). Unfortunately the two stores that we visited today have very few white tags throughout the whole store.
The good thing about this store is the smaller size prevents my girlfriend from spending two hours looking through clothes. Yay!
Side note: make sure to securely latch the dressing room door when using it.

I have an eternal love/​hate relationship with Red Racks.
First of all, I’ll say that I personally think the one on Glenstone is better, even though it’s smaller. Why? It’s closer to the universities, so it takes in more brands like J. Crew and Mossimo and American Eagle per college kids who don’t keep stuff that’s perfectly fine to still wear. Also, there’s still some kind of weird price disparity between the two, and I’ve found that Glenstone is cheaper.
I go to Red Racks once or twice a month and typically walk out with a bag full of clothes, shoes, mugs, and miscellaneous goodies, all for $ 20 or less. If you do Red Racks right, you can live by it, and MOST of my closet is, in fact, from Red Racks. Just because it’s a thrift store doesn’t mean cool stuff isn’t there — you just have to be patient and sift through every. Single. Rack. to find what you want. Not your cup of tea? Head to the mall — then there’s more for me.
The big, big downfall of Red Racks is how stupidly misleading their holiday 50% off sales are. They DO mark up the prices big time the day before the sale. I’ve actually ended up paying higher prices on these days because a shirt that I’d normally buy for $ 3 got marked up to, say, $ 8 — at 50%, I’m still paying a buck more. Boo! You’re not fooling us pro thrifters, Red Racks.
That all being said, head to Red Racks on a normal Sunday and do your discounted shopping then. If you really try and don’t lose faith after like, 5 seconds, you’ll find something special.

So… they gave me hard time about the Unilocal deal and didnt even know what Unilocal was. ??? But they took it anyway.

Without question the end all be all of the entire thrift industry in the known universe. Can this megastore of gently used treasures be equaled? Not in this lifetime my good citizens! Enter and fight the urge to gasp and engage in wide eyed wonderment as your disbelieving mind struggles to grasp the vast array of fine goods displayed before you. You begin to shop but the decision is almost painfully difficult. Where to begin? So much variety! Is it possible that such quality of merchandise can be so tastefully displayed yet sold for such a pittance? I bring you great tidings of truth my friends and answer yes it is reality, right here in our beloved Springfield. Join the millions who already know, RED RACKS ROCKS!

The best Red Racks store is definitely the huge one on Kansas Expressway. That said, this one isn’t horrible. Sunday sales are good. They have a decent selection of clothing, although much of it (particularly women’s clothing) is overpriced for a thrift store. I’ve found the occasional treasure here, like a great pair of embellished leather loafers for under four bucks. I do enjoy looking through the random items on offer here and consider it an asset to North Springfield. Unfortunately their recent «facelift» did not result in any positive changes I could discern. Still no dressing rooms or public restrooms and the merchandise seems no better organized than 1 – 2 years previous.
