Best Smart Shop Grand Rapids Near Me

Ashley Warren: I want to buy clothes there for a cheap price

Timothy Meyer: Great gently used products from clothing to furniture. You can often find something you like to purchase. Besides you support CRC private schools with each purchase.The only occasional draw back is finding an item a bit overpriced. But worth it since you often find excellent prices for good products. Go shopping there. You won't be disappointed.

Blurae Gray: Wonderful selection

kristin Ellens: Clean, organized store, with nice merchandise, spoiled only by a few cranky curmudgeons who work there, one of whom definitely deserves to be let go. C'mon folks, you are representing Christian schools. Let's see a more Christlike attitude.

Novi Bear: No good finds today there always next visit though

Amina Vila: I love New 2 You for all things home decor! I always manage to find beautiful vases, pillows and vintage home decor pieces. One of my go thrift stores!

Carrie McConnell: Things were set up nice to store looks nice. Nobody ever greeted us while we were in there. And when we went to check out we had one lady who was supposed to be working register was polishing a piece of wood and ignored us, another lady came over said they she would take me over to a closed lane, she left in the middle of the transaction, finally after waiting the other lady noticed that we were standing there and told us that the lane was closed. I told her that the other lady was ringing us up and that she left in the middle of the transaction. So she finished up the transaction My friend who was standing right behind me when there was nobody else in line had to go over to her line where now we have three people in front of her. Not a great way to work your business

Naomi Price: Absolutely love this place. Great findings, prices and people... a lot of awesome Xmas items

Randolph Reid: New 2 You is a great thrift store. They have books, glasses, clothes, paintings, furniture, and many other items.

Lexi Gordon: I normally come in to shops often but I am never greeted by the staff in front, and I just had a terrible interaction with the lady at the register. Very rude, not friendly at all. Honestly I won’t be coming here again I was utterly disappointed in my treatment here today.

Betty Ann Pratt: I love this store

Regina Howland: I bought my great grandchildren clothing for school. Great prices and nice item's. Very clean store

Ruth Gunneson-Poling: Store is always clean and lots of good stuff. It's a little pricey and the last time I was there the 2 ladies were very rude when I made my purchase.

Janice Cleary: Love this store. Always well organized and clean and great items people are willing to donate. I bought beautiful pale pink sweater and three semi-dress tops today. Regularly $8 a piece and today everything was 50% off. What a bargain with tax I bought all this for just about $17.

Lee Riedl: best thrift shop prices when they have sales. they have new sales weekly.

Hailey Thorn: Everything is clean and well organized. To die for prices and tested electronics!

Rachel Brinks: New 2 You is a wonderful second hand store! They have such a great selection of items, many you would not necessarily look for second hand, such as curtains and stationary! The clothing here tends to be higher end, and in good condition. I've also purchased dishes and flat wear, games, and art here - all in excellent condition and priced to sell. The couches and furniture usually look very nice as well, but I have yet to find an exact pattern I wanted while I was in the market. However, I always look at the couches and chairs bc sometimes they have brand new furniture and deals for free delivery! The staff here are always ready to help and quick at the register. Give this place a look next time you are shopping for pretty much anything, they may have it at a discount!!

L Rostic: Clean, nice & cute thrift shop. I think a little over priced, but overall nice place to visit.

Ardith Rietema: Great bargains, fantastic staff!!!

Beth Boonstra: Not only does this place have tons of great stuff, they also have an incredible staff with great service. I go here frequently and have never had a negative experience. Today, I bought a few larger items and I didn't even have to ask for someone to help me bring them to my car, they just offered and were super helpful.

Bob Smith: TLDR; Quality independent thrift!About 20% menswear, 30% womens clothing, 50% a little bit of everything else.Pros: VERY organized and clean. The items here were priced on par with SA but generally higher quality. Lots of variety. Cashier was very friendly.Cons: Surprisingly sparse, they could fit 2x or 3x the inventory they currently have out. I hope people are donating enough to keep them in business.

Nicole Coman: Clean, well organized. Decent amount of clothes for it's size, sparse in other areas in front and back. Takes donations

Charles Perry: Lots of clothing, some household goods, limited books and music compared to other. Staff super. Once in awhile, find something I am use.

heidi hagen: Poor selection

todd julien: Like having vinyl available on the NE side. Dug through the racks today and bought a few things.

Ro a: Honestly wouldn’t consider much of a thrift store more than someone’s small garage sale. The selection is extremely lacking. This could be due to lack of donations, but it is very bare boned. Has the potential to be a nice spot. The clothes were more on the expensive side for a lower end thrift spot, but the books were reasonable. Probably wouldn’t come again- waste of a drive.dear owner: There is not much of a selection (increase your inventory), your prices are high (lower them), and organization/store layout is poor (change it).

Mary Craven: I visited here just once about 2 months ago. It was good quality, but lacked in quantity. Very bare. Other than clothes, not many items. I decided not to return, unless I saw a huge number of great reviews meaning I just visited on an "off" day, but recent reviews prove to me that it hasn't changed much.

Bernadette Hawkins: Great store!! Reasonable prices!! All for a good cause! I stop here often!!

Andrea Mathieu: Super awesome sales associates

Taylor Niewenhuis: Clean, well organized but not a big selection to shop from.

Angela Oosting: Not much in the store , however it was clean and organized.

Denise Casemier: Very nice store

Marissa Lee: Very clean, organized and found some cute trendy things! Got 3 tops for $4 each, great condition and name brand. Workers very nice. Will definitely visit again!

M DILLY: This is a really nice place to shop is clean and the stuff they have is awesome. Good deals too!

Jesse Houghton: It was very clean and fun to walk through

Taylor Rodriguez: This place is fantastic! The workers are very welcoming and energetic, the place is kept very tidy and orderly and they have great prices. Would definitely recommend more people come here!

Mackenzi Schnetzler: Great mugs. Great people.

Trent Allen: It's a great store! The shelves were organized and clean, and the clerks were delightful. Definitely going back!

Audrey Trevino: Great stuff.

olivia andrusynyk: Great customer service. I love that my donations actually help others unlike when you donate to Goodwill whose profits go to their CEO.

Haley Seidl: This store is closed temporarily even though it says it's open here

Sabrina Chapman: Is this store still under construction?

J. McCormick: It's closed. Don't go. Checked Google and headed over to get some clothes for a new job - wasted two hours on a bus and now I'm stuck in the snow with no new work clothes :/

Kelly Arrand: Favorite thrift store in Grand Rapids. Huge selection, helpful staff, and I love the 99 cent clothing days!Update: I miss this place. It's been closed for over a year.

Gregory S Mann: BEEN CLOSED FOR REMODELING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. TAKE THIS OFF YOUR LIST. PLEASE REMOVE FALSE ADVERTISING OF THRIFT STORE AT THIS LOCATION.

Helena Calais: CURRENTLY CLOSED for construction. Love this place, have been visiting here since I was a child and scored some amazing things along the years. But don’t do what I did and show up to find a closed store. Spoke to a very friendly security guard who advised it’s closed indefinitely and that there’s been no advice as to when the remodeling will be done. ☹️

Donnato Ortiz: It is closed right now being remodeled but will open up soon .

Lita Sandy: I have always liked this store and some of the 8 others in the district; I have been spending and donating to WM locations for decades, on and off, quite often to this location (also, the main store). I am now wondering where is the food bank that the Holland church claims they have in operation, actually is at this time. Isn't there one here in Grand Rapids, during this Covid-19 pandemic? Is everything going to rehab? Rehab is a GREAT cause but I'd like details before I donate more. I do remember that one of the wasps in charge years ago (a LTC or COL or whoever) allowed an antique collector (name escapes me) to be in charge of antiques / collectibles that were donated to the store. As there are 8 stores in the district and the Division Ave location is where 90% of all store donations are sorted and redistributed BACK out to the 8 stores in West Michigan, the choice of items are decided by whoever is in charge at Division Ave. (not many people know that their donations get sent to GR first and NOT in their communities where they donated to their own city stores - ALWAYS has been how it works). Anyway, said woman (antique / collectibles / jewelry collector herself) FINALLY left, after DECADES of incompetence and questionable practices, we still know little about who is pricing the valuable donations now. Her erratic pricing / "appraising" efforts were sad. I was told that she was fired at least once, for stashing items one year, during the financial crisis (I can't validate this - only heard this through the grapevine). I also did hear such things about her from a now deceased acquaintance and a few others. This wasn't anything I was completely aware of myself, prior to hearing from others. One has to wonder just how much MUCH $$ didn't get into the Salvation Army coffers as a result of those supervisory eyes averted from this particular organization. Still, it happens in all charity stores, some more than others. Not all volunteers are concerned solely with the actual charity. If they were, people would actually see more offerings with intrinsic value, out on the floor. Mostly, it doesn't happen and as a result, people who are aware won't donate better quality goods. EVERY store has at least one antique dealer and/or "appraiser" in the back room where many items don't make it onto the showroom floor. I do believe that this store has had a chance to reform, esp after this woman's final departure. Of course, who will ever know why this went on for SO MANY YEARS. This has ALWAYS been my FAVORITE West Michigan charity and I intend to continue giving. Before, I would only give quality items that I figured would actually go on the shelf. I am glad that she's history but still, would love to know more BEFORE I give more today. I feel that I do have much to give.

Wee Pee: Haven't been there because the store is under construction just wanted to say so nobody comes all the way out for nothing.

trish dagle: Not currently open. Building reno. Great store though.

Laura Muresan: Sometimes I find good stuff here, but I hate that they don't put out jigsaw puzzles unless they're still factory-sealed. I was told it's because people complained that puzzles weren't complete. News flash: puzzles at thrift stores might not be complete. Tip: rather than not selling them because of this, why not just put a sign up by the puzzles, or on the boxes, that they aren't tested and aren't guaranteed to be complete? One of the main reasons my son and I like to go to thrift stores is to look for puzzles, so this policy is horrible for us.

Kathleen Simpson: They used to sort clothing by color and not by size, but recently switched...this is a huge time saver for me. A lot less sorting looking for your size...now, a quick glance and you can see what they have in your size. Thank you so much! I find all kinds of "gems" at this store and sometimes for only $.99 as they have a tag color each week which is 50% off. Things that cost $50 or $60 new can be purchased for 10% of the original cost in good condition--real bargains!

Emma C.: Bought an $8 nightstand here that ended up infesting my house with bed bugs. The $8 turned into $1308. Tried to call them to let them know, and got nothing in response. Shop with caution.

Carsondra George: There bathroom doesn't have a lock. ( so anyone can walk in on u) be careful.

BringItBackAgain: I love shopping here. If I had some constructive criticism it would be to not put staples through the material if there is no tag. And sometimes the staples are through the material tag and the material of the shirt. I've passed up a whole lot of nice quality shirts because they were destroyed by your staples. Would also love to see a by the pound store in the Grand Rapids Michigan area.

Zac Erb: Prices are too high and shelves were empty.The lady downstairs was rude to a customer and had attitude towards everyone.normally I shop here but this time was disappointed.

Milan Nerad: Store refused to help a disabled veteran load a dryer on to the back of his pick up truck. This is shamlesss act and a disgrace!!!

Pam Castleman: Very Friendly, and great Rehab for my son, Scott Reynolds. He wants to make me proud, I pray for him every day.

Maria Sobol: This Salvation Army store has the largest amount of merchandise compared to the other Salvation Army stores in town. The downstairs in this store has a large amount of furniture while the upstairs has a lot of clothing.

Racheal C: I love thrift stores, and this is one of my favorite Salvation Army's. Big store with 2 floors of treasures to discover! Sometimes I actually find something worth buying! Staff here is super friendly. Great deals, especially on holidays!! (No A/C, so shop according to weather)

Kelley Joy: Groovy

L S: Mason and Kristen are my pals. I love going and seeing them on Fridays. I have found many cool finds at this location but I miss the .99 cent sale sooooo much!

Sophia Taylor: Mason the cashier was so kind and fun to see every time Im in! Favorite thrift store in GR:)

Cole Gleason: The products have a lot of choices but the rude cashier made the experience frustrating, the elderly woman before us couldn’t hear him say 2.11 she heard 2.09 so he screamed 2.11 loudly at her twice in a row and shook her up a bit I could tell then asked us if we had different bills because he didn’t want to break them. The cashier with the fancy looped belt and laced red shirt.

Bob Smith: TLDR; GREAT!About 25% menswear, 45% womens clothing, and 30% housewares. Small jewellery couter too.Pros: Weekly color tags. Better quality items then most SA stores. Cleanest SA I've ever been in. Great selection. Prices on half the items were good, the other half a bit higher than other SA. Employees were very helpful and attentive.Cons: Just a handful of items were unreasonably priced (IE: a simple sweater for $16 when most were only $3 to 5); never seen that before at an SA, it was really strange.

Ben B-R: Great treasure store!!!

savege games: Nice.clean.well organized.friendly staff and great bargains

Vivian Jackson: Nice store

Laura: Lots to look

Betty Stewart: Great buys.

flame fire: It is clean and organized. A lot of great stuff to choose from.

Juliet Schaafsma: Full of good stuff

Sofia Ovalle: Very clean and organized store . Face mask is required to inter the place and hand sanitizer for your hands. Very friendly staff . I love coming in to a thrift store that is well stacked with merchandise. Come browse around you may find some awesome deals. Let's support this place of business that supports others 🙂

megan randall: This place has lost its mind! 10 and 12 dollars for jeans! No matter the brand. What is going on? I shop these stores frequently and this is by far the highest priced salvation army I've been to! Disappointed that greed took over this store.:( shopping elsewhere from now on.

M DILLY: The items that are sold here are too expensive, I understand is a second hand store but is unreal some of the clothes are just too worn out, as to old for household items to be sold for the prices the have. The place us somehow clean and service is I guess ok.

Donnato Ortiz: Organizes and frendly

Mrs. Benham: It is a wonderful place to shop. Very clean. They sanitize the carts. Clean the counters often. All donations are quarantined when they get them. The staff is very friendly.

Broken Doll (Broken Doll): It sucks, rarely ever has anything new or worth buying

LuAnn Egy: It's always fun to just browse around to see what people donate like they say " one man's junk is another man's treasure"!

Josh Page: Being on a tight budget I would frequent the many salvation army stores on a weekly basis. With the limited income I have I would find items for people I knew needed them and couldn't afford them and would be able to pick them up at a price within my price range.After seeing the new corporate major increase in pricing I won't be going back anymore! The pricing has almost doubled for their items and the items aren't even being inspected! Sad to see that corporate greed has affected even local charities!

Alina Spicer: Just was in shopping, lots of neat stuff but what really stood out to me was how kind and caring the store owner was to a member of the community who seemed down on his luck. She is very very kind!!

jan weber: TOOO pricey now!!

Joser Montes: Love secondhand Sam!!! Do you guys provide free clothes for homeless? I could really use an outfit and a packpack

Ashel DeVries: Really friendly staff, and pretty cool stuff too!

Amanda Gepford: Definitely have fun place to look around

Sara Peckham: The

Phyllis Boynton: It was great.

vickie lake: Nice variety of clothing, weekly sales, and nick nacks. Things for the kitchen, lots of sewing patterns, a few disability walkers on wheels with a seat. I picked one up for $15.00 today. :)

Krystal Plumb: Great variety, prices and people 🙂

Kathy Markham: Very nice people that work there. Prices reasonable.

KILLy Munster: The ultimate thrift store on the Westside! As time goes by this store gets even better! Love it!

kathy north: Amazing Mindi!

Ray Heemstra: very eclectic selection of old school stuff along with new, great prices, friendly staff.

Ro a: really sweet staff, size inclusive, lgbtq friendly!

Grey :]: Everyone there is so nice and I've found some really neat stuff there why cant i rate a 6/5 i love it so much.

Brian Sawa: Mindi & team are wonderful! Helping the community and caring for others. Always looking for donations.

Rene Carrillo: Stopped by& dropped a few things off. Turned Green into Spring & Easter. A visit with Mindi,Erica,Mary & Savoy🐰🐣

Johari Curry: An Awesome place to shop. Owner/ Management is the best ever. Great service great shopping. You will always find what your looking for. Totally love it

Juls Hoffman: Lots of clothes and shoes

Andrea Alleman: Great we experience shopping here. Great staff. Highly recommend.

Joy McCormick: Clothing prices -- RIDICULOUS HIGH. Everything else is about par for local thrifts.If you're specifically looking for clothing items, I would shop somewhere else. The store is kind of dirty too. But that is common in thrift stores in this area.

R: Always welcomed with a smile, prices are fair, and always fun to stop by.

Edna Walker: To high to be a second handed store

Gamedawg: It's a shame that a low income family in need of beds and furniture has to pay $300 for a used mattress and box spring!!! No frame but the store is full of items...and they say their low on cash but the items are DONATED!!!

Jessica Powell: I’m giving 4 stars because I still enjoy going to St. Vincent’s to thrift occasionally. I don’t want to give up on it yet. However I used to go more regularly because it was more fun to hunt for treasure. But sadly it’s changed. They opened up their “boutique prices” on women’s clothing and they pick out everything that they think is good and charge twice as much for it or even more. Unfortunately not prices I’m willing to pay for what I’m getting. In theory maybe the boutique prices could be a good idea? Not sure. But I wonder is it working for them? It sure has taken the fun out of thrifting there. And I buy a lot less as well. I wish them all the best with their boutique but I hope they decide to go back to their pre-boutique ways.

Erica Bouillon: Prices too expensive for a thrift store. There is a ton of inventory and the store is so packed with it, it's a mess. It would probably be less jam packed If the prices weren't so high. Employees are really nice though.

Professor Handsome: Please gate keep this spot

Juan Jr Medina: Pretty good my gf loves going here and I love taking her.

H R: Amazing service. Great finds.

Karen Taylor: The store was well organized and most items were fairly priced. Some good furniture was very inexpensive. The staff we talked to were helpful and kind. I liked the industrial building feel. That did make it a little dark in some parts. There were lots of high end clothing and fancy dresses upstairs. Tons of well displayed furniture on the main level. No carts upstairs could be a challenge if you wanted a lot of clothing.We ventured to the store based on post six months ago in Michigan Everything that posted how awesome the 3 level store was.The St. Vincent web-site needs to be updated. We went to the location expecting to find the "3 level thrift store." The basement has been closed for over a year but the photos on the webpage still show large signs indicating the basement is 50% off. The cashier indicated they knew the webpage was long outdated but hadn't gotten to it. Below is a photo of the page screen shot today.Do go to this location. (But do not expect the basement to be open.)

steven adegboye: They have a great selection and always have amazing deals. Hands down my fav thrift store

Larry Howard: Most likely they got everything you need old to new medium small how long big wide they got a library for the kids to go in and read on them love couches so I give it up for that place man you know everything cheap you getting nice things is good people in there Andover yeah I'm going to go back sometime I don't know when but it's going to be sometime

Anthony Fisk: Good group. Felt good. My girlfriend found some great items for her apartment.

Cara Quillin: Love this thrift store it's fun

Bryan Gruesbeck: Not a lot of men's clothes

Gladys Dodger: Prices are a bit high but they sell quality items.The whole store has been cleaned and rearranged. They need to fix the elevator.

J L: This store was extremely overpriced for a thrift store. I realize the proceeds go to helping the community and the homeless, but at those prices, I could buy the some of the same things at the store either brand new or a buck or two more. It's also extremely disorganized. Hard to walk around, and no way to get a cart upstairs. I'm disabled, so stairs don't work for me. Staff was super friendly though. That's why they get 3 instead of 2 stars.

KILLy Munster: Found three nice sweaters for half price, a few final clearance divided plates & paid full price for a few other housewares.Always have liked this store but the last few times I shopped most of the prices were too high IMHO.The cashier was very friendly & helpful.

Louis Wilbon: Great place Very helpful

Jorge Rubio: I Love This Place! :-)
