What makes this place so great?

They have a wonderfully organized store with window and in-store merchandise displays that resemble traditional retail stores.
They closely review merchandise and offer quality items. Damaged items that are donated are not placed on the floor. Instead, they are bundled up into grab bags where you can get an entire bag of clothes for a few bucks. You may need to ask a store associate about the grab bags as they are often sold out or held in the back of the store.
They have a “boutique” rack where you can find the better, name brand items such as Talbot’s, Ann Taylor, etc.
They have a dollar rack or two which are super-bargains if you find something you like. And I’ve found quite a few items here.
On top of already low prices the have different specials every day. Specials include: X% off certain items or color tags to 25% off the entire store. These discounts don’t apply to the dollar rack.
