I remember buying some fancy jeans there and a pair of leather boots that I loved but they were always about 1/2 size too small! It was a fun place to shop, because you never knew what they might have. It was new merchandise, but you had to watch for damage. I think they must have bought big lots of stuff from insurance companies -- stuff that had survived a fire or flood or such.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-29858349761530092862011-07-17T07:51:47.741-05:002011-07-17T07:51:47.741-05:00My wife and sister are Goodwill junkies....

This is an outlet store, and it has its own method of operating. It's quite a bit different than the usual Goodwill. That's why it was such an interesting experience! ;)Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-87672137645761962332011-07-15T14:57:11.932-05:002011-07-15T14:57:11.932-05:00I could never go through bins of junk.

The one here has clothes hanging on racks and most items clean and placed on shelves.<br /><br />The one thing I always look for when visiting a place like this is old Featherweight or Treadle Sewing Machines. Either is a treasure in today's quilting world!!Karen in Kentuckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745653729707537655noreply@blogger.com
