Best small thrift store I’ve ever been to every time I go in there when I come to the coast. I always find just exactly what I need. And the workers are friendly. Great customer service. Lotta times they have sales also. Highly recommend.

One thing I noticed is most of the other reviews say, "first off" and they all pretty much sound the same. Makes me questions the legitimacy of them. My review of Reach Out thrift store. I went in to Reach Out right after they re-opened with all new staff. They still had the $6 bag but they also added just as many racks with "regular" prices not included in the bag sale. I searched all the bag racks and nothing but ugly, out dated, stained clothes. I then went on to housewares, wow talk about expensive. I could buy the item new for less. I found a comforter I liked but it was super expensive for used, I asked the lady at the cash register if she could come down in price. She stated, "No its a good price", and I told her I could get one new for that price, she then told me too, ""go buy it new then!" She also made a few more rude comments so I put the comforter back and walked out. Tried the store out again months later, walked in, and no one greeted me and store was a mess, looked at clothes and nothing anyone would want. Stained, old, tore, dirty clothes were on the bag racks. Employee's must be taking all the good stuff home with them. Shelves were in disarray, floor was dirty, kids toys strewn all over store. Does anyone pick up or straighten up? Maybe if they were not all talking at the register, paying no attention to anyone the store would look better. None of the sheets, towels or other linens were folded. Nothing good in this section either, what was there was good for rags only. Prices way to high for used stuff. At this point I said "never again" and left. Reach Out used to have great clothes at great prices. I was always greeted coming in the door, store was clean and neat, never once seen people gossiping at counter before. I do not see how they make any money now. What a terrible decision to change staff. Please bring back the nice and professional staff you had before. Don't waste your time, unless your in need of expensive rags.

I make sure I visit this place when I visit the beach. First off, I really enjoy the people running the place. Between the husband and wife team, they can come up with most things you ask for, and walk you to where the items are located. Just a great atmosphere there. They have lots to look at, but it is well arranged so you can limit your visit. Their proceeds go to charitable causes, like the Boys and Girls Club.

I was very happy to find it was still open despite covid insanity. The cottage we rented did not have bedding for safety and we forgot our sleeping bags. Very happy to find very inexpensive mismatched sheets and blankets. (They had sets as well for all sizes) Half the store was clothes, and my husband and son found a fun table top game to play on the trip as well. Very friendly staff, found it clean, fun finds. Think small Goodwill but without the smell. 😊

I've changed my 5 star rating to 1 star because over the last year things have changed a great deal, and not in a good way. Read to the end to make sure you get the entire story...

Old employees who treated you like family are gone, new employees are not as friendly or helpful.

The store has been rearranged and is no longer warm and inviting.

Prices have increased (except for occasional sales they have to draw people in as they realize they are loosing business from all the changes).

There are less and less new items on shelves.

I don't know why these changes were made, but I will no longer shop there and many I know have stopped going there too. We now go to Goodwill in Warrenton because His Supper Table across the street is not great either (same reasons: uninviting, unfriendly, high prices)....

Oh, and here's the kicker: More than one person has said the new management (upper management or owners) is bad mouthing customers. I've heard they said they didn't think higher prices were a bad thing because if the tweekers and druggies spent more at the store they'd have less money to buy drugs. They've been heard to say their customers are mostly drug addicts and on welfare. Not only do they insult all of their customers with this attitude (if they're on welfare or not), but they insult anyone with a drug addiction who is trying to get sober. I don't know who these new owners are, but they should be run off the peninsula.

UPDATE: The new manager responded to my review stating "the owner is the same" but I just found out there is not one single owner, it's a board of a group of people (possibly trustees) and that board has in fact brought on at least two NEW members in the last year or so and that is one of the reasons all these changes are being made. So, the new manager is not being totally truthful here in her/his reply.

Places great people are friendly let's be honest the prices are a little high for a thrift store and I really do miss the $5 a bag sell that Sheri used to have there... They donate yes but so did Sheri...
