“Great home finds at great prices ? I can understand how the hours may seem frustrating to some people but please check their Facebook and website instead of relying on Google. They always post it there! And also previews of what they will have which is helpful. This place has become a staple in decorating my home ?”
“I've Been coming to Axman surplus stores since 1971.... Sometimes all you have to do is walk in the store and you'll be the inspired to build a new project From their items... The bonus is reading some of the funny signs they use to describe their items because it makes it hard to be in a bad mood....for long. I simply love axman surplus”
“Great and nice thrift store. I mostly find quality pieces here as far as clothing. They carry some designer and higher name brands as well as everyday brands. But the real quality is in the workers and volunteers. I feel like a get some sweet auntie and grandma time chatting with them every time I visit. Thanks for having great customer service!!”
“Perfect place to shop for the unusual. Whenever I'm in the area I hit all three stores. I've bought gear motors, relays, switches, capacitors, and lots of other parts for my projects. Thomas Edison would have loved this place.
I even bought a 50 pound bale of shredded money to use as packing for my pen business. You never know what you're going to find there. Need a drop tank for a fighter jet? They had one many years ago.”
“I LOVE this place. I live in Missouri and have wanted to visit for a long time and finally got the opportunity a few months ago when I was in Minneapolis. It was absolutely amazing- so inclusive, wonderful staff, good organization, large size range, good prices, fans in the fitting rooms. I bought two pairs of pants off the rack that fit me, which is sometimes hard to find, and also two shirts that have become a part of my regular rotation. I really hope someday there's something similar where I live because I really had the best experience here. No notes.”

2751 Winnetka Ave N, New Hope“Good prices, good finds, occasional rare items. Always a good selection of clothes. Don't miss half off on a particular color, where I cannot pass up picking up a book or two each time shopping.”
“I love this place! Great prices too. Sign up for their rewards! Lots of parking available out front and across the lot. No steps into the building. The doors aren't (handicapped) accessible, but they are double doors. The green tags were 70-75% off today, Thurs, 2/22/24. Enjoy all my pictures! They have a lot of great Easter Decor out and furniture too! Always a fun time to be had in here. The employees are always friendly and happy.”
“My experience here was absolutely great! Thank you very much to all the staff, especially to Mr. Aaron and another guy who answered all my questions. They were all so friendly and accommodating to my questions/requests. I will return here because my husband liked the chair I got. He might get the same thing.”

New Hope“At the old store, the workers could be snarky and rude. Not now! I think the new store is just beautiful and with a fantastic variety of so much different stuff. The new staff is friendly and knowledgeable. And the prices are great. Thank you, owners, for the improvement. Please stop in and look around, you're bound to find something.”
“We went the weekend they opened in December. Every booth was different. Quite a great selection and good prices. We got a vintage ceramic Santa, love it! They are now closed for 2 months, then they will open for a few days. I like it. They get all new merchandise from different people, each having their own space to set up. You never know what you will find. We're going back!”
“Free Geek is a great establishment! If you’re into 2nd hand electronics for a low price, Free geek has descriptive labels on all of their inventory so you can purchase with confidence. Also, If you’re looking to experiment with electronics but would prefer not to break the bank, this is a great place to build upon that.”
“Amazing selection, spacious and sensible layout for an antique store. Staff was very kind with questions and service. Prices are a bit higher, but it’s because the sellers know what gems they have!”
“I've never reviewed a thrift store before but just had to say this is the best one I've ever been to in the Twin Cities! Well organized, clean, and decent prices. Also very friendly staff!”
“This is a great place. It has well priced clothing with shirts costing just 6$. Definitely coming back, I’m also considering checking out other thrift shops because of how awesome this place was!”
“Went during their tent sale and got some clothes at an extremely good price. A couple of the things I got still had tags with the original prices on it. Items were in pristine condition and getting these $58 retail value shorts for under $5 is a steal. Will definitely be coming back.”
“Love this spot! I usually purchase things off of their Instagram for pick up. The staff are so kind and are always cheerful when I stop in. The selection is definitely well thought-out and well-priced. You're able to get great clothes at fabulous prices.”
“A little on the pricier side as far as thrift stores go, but it’s for a good cause. There isn’t a huge selection of clothes over a women’s dress size 10, but I know they don’t really have control over that. The jewelry selection was much nicer than most thrift stores. Very clean. Best find was a Calvin Klein raincoat for $35.”
“Good selection of random used items in good to excellent condition. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Nicely organized and always clean. New items added every week. I'm sure you will find something that you want when you come !”
“Absolutely amazing service, was greeted right away and the man working (I didn’t catch his name) was very helpful and kind. Amazing discounts too, my mom and I talked about coming back with a pickup once she moves to her new place just to get things from here. Would very much recommend.”
“One of the best thrift stores in the Twin Cities!I love the back room, you can always find some hidden gems back there. They have a good variety of clothing for men and women. Everything is priced very fair and the store is organized to make finding what you’re looking for east. The staff are very friendly and helpful.”
“Old School is a great asset to the Stevens Square-Loring Heights neighborhood. I stop in regularly to peruse the clothing and have found several pieces from basics to statement pieces that receive lots of compliments.”
“Cute thrift store with a great selection of everything. Very well organized and clean. Prices were better than Goodwill & they had fitting rooms that were open so you can actually try on clothes and see if they fit before you buy. Big plus!! Would recommend coming in and taking a peek around. I'll be back :)”
“Trying on dresses with Nikolina was the highlight of my wedding dress search. Even my less vintage-inclined friends were impressed with her incredible design knowledge and the vision she cast for modifying each piece to create my own personal aesthetic. She was so fun to work with! Shopping through their selection does require some imagination, but as someone who loves envisioning possibilities, this was half of the adventure. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to create a personal and unique vintage dress or revive a historical piece with sentimental value - you won't regret taking the time to imagine with Nikolina.”
“Wonderful place to sell/shop gently used kids items. This year, due to covid-19, it was a little different... But I was so impressed how they had all the precautions in place.There's a holiday sale coming up and I trust JBF will, again, have all the saftey precautions in place for another great round of shopping!”

2700 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis“I recently purchased several end tables from Reuse. The tables were dated and that is exactly what I was looking for. They were in great condition, and very affordable. The store is easy to browse in, very clean and the staff was very helpful and polite. I will shop there again when more selection of sofa's arrive. I only wish Reuse had their own delivery service. Great store!”
9AM - 9PM
3740 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis“Venilla was kind, patient, and insightful while helping me with items behind the counter. My visit was a very pleasant experience, thanks to your kind staff! I can’t wait to stop back here.”
“Make sure you get to the register with plenty of time to ring out!!! Great deals, tho!!! Every time, amazing selection of inventory!!! Also, their registers don’t accept American Express debit cards….. which are somewhat new to banking. We have also had issues with other cards so we bring cash when we shop here now just so it’s easier.”
“Clean and all clothes are organized by color and size. Great prices, selection and quality.So ive met/seen 6 staff members since going to this location and I will say it's a split on service. 3 of the employees were short when I asked them questions (not that im asking for FLO type service so its fine but dont look like you hate your job even tho most people do) and sort of blah sorting clothes behind the register, the other 3 were knowledgeable, hit all the sales points and 1 was even singing down the aisle and that made me feel happy.Otherwise, The only negative thing I have to say is the teething rings at the front door were very dusty, wiping them down and packaging them would help them sell and straightening up the toy area. It just looks visually chaotic with everything thrown up there.Also, shame on anyone who gives them 1 star over the bag ordeal. I saw it on the website, I always CALL ahead if I'm unsure and simply to inquire. Also, Don't smoke around your kids, their stuff or leave it in a garage or smoke in your house and think they are still going to take your belongings. That's just bad parenting and 2 you have a phone to leave a bad review but can't put in 30 seconds of legwork to do research by calling or looking them up.If anything changes I'll update my review.”
“Need to go repeatedly to find good deals on stuff. The "good stuff" sells right away. They do sale days too on Tuesday and Thursday if you're a senior. Those are the best days to go for sure.”
“The people who work here are jut genuinely kind, sweet, and overall lovely individuals. The thrift store is exceptionally well organized and has a little of everything.I've needed to use the food bank as well and everyone there was super kind and helpful as well. They do not require a specific address or place limits or intense oversight upon what you choose to take which feels very nice. The process to become registered is pretty simple and I literally felt no judgement.Every time I've been to the thrift store or food bank has been a positive experience and I am very happy and thankful that Prism exists. Thank you for all you do to help people and for your kindness while doing so!!”
