KARM Stores is a thrift store with a mission to help break the cycle of homelessness in East Tennessee. The store supports programs at Knox Area Rescue Ministries that promote sustainable living and restore lives through donations and purchases. Customers appreciate finding deals on used clothing, household items, and furniture, especially during special days like senior citizen discounts on Tuesdays. The store is clean and well-organized, with attractive displays and good quality items, often from better brands than other local thrift shops. However, many find the prices to be very high, making it less affordable for regular shopping. Some reviews mention that prices have increased over time, which affects the store’s Thriftiness. The store offers a variety of items, including clothes, shoes, linens, housewares, and toys, but some customers feel the prices are almost as high as new items. The staff is generally friendly and helpful, and the store decor is appealing. Despite the good selection and organization, the high prices and limited dressing room space can be disappointing, leading some customers to leave empty-handed. Overall, KARM Stores provides quality secondhand goods while supporting a meaningful cause, though affordability remains a concern for many shoppers.
Great place for good items at fair prices. Staff are incredible.
