3 months agoLove this store! Always manage to find something amazing for myself, family or a friend. Not sure what happened with the previous reviewer but I have always found the staff pretty chill helpful and relaxed. A shout out to Kirsty who has been keeping the place going for years! May she never leave! Her fashion style and the way she cares for all her visitors both 2 legged and 4 legged makes me smile everytime I shop. The music is really cool as well...always find a new track to look up from listening to it instore. :) All in all its a10/10

3 months agoSome absolutely horrible staff here. Went in to donate some items including a little lamp and the lady sorting the donations proceeds to get in my face and shout at me saying they don’t take electronics. I’m literally just a kid trying to help their store out by donating and she does that. Would advise people to donate else where. They are not grateful or thankful at all.

4 years agoThis shop is by far and away my favourite. Kirsty and co are really organised and the merchandise is clean. The atmosphere has a wonderful inclusive, community feel; dogs trot in with their people and are effusively welcomed with cuddles and treats. A great selection of clothes and homeware at prices that I wish other op shops would reflect. I believe they are doing a great service, not only to all the animals in their care but also the local community- by not over pricing items and making it accessible to most. Truely amazing, please don't ever stop!

4 years agoWe usually find the staff here welcoming and friendly. However, this morning, the female staff member couldn't even be bothered to say good morning. She just instructed my husband to place our donations in bags. No please or thank you either. Luckily, there are other options locally.

4 years agoLike the newtown branch the pricing is fair and consistent, nice variety of good quality clothing. Shop is possibly even a bit larger than newtown, always feels like there's a lot to look through. Nice open layout and well-organised.
