  Giving this store 2 stars because of its sheer size and the fact that you can find some good stuff if you know how to dig. But, the store is 75% clothes like most big Thrift Stores in South Florida. And, that's just not my thing. Inventory of pretty much any other category is pretty limited. There are some interesting finds, but of course the prices are pretty ridiculous. So goes the trend of thrifts these days. Also, like others have mentioned: the most ridiculous caveat of this store is the $10 minimum for Debit/Credit Cards. I only had $5 in cash on me, so I ended up spending LESS money because of their rule. Normally I don't mind spending money but I'm not going to be forced to spend $10 minimum if I didn't find anything to buy. It Seems pretty counterintuitive for a store that has ZERO COST in their inventory. I can not comprehend a rule like that in this day and age. It's just not that big of an expense. I use Stripe for my business and the fees are 2.9% - we are talking PENNIES here. Now, considering this is a Thrift Store that gets all of their inventory for free, they are SERIOUSLY pinching pennies. Or, are they actually a for profit corporation and not a real charity? Overall, not that impressed and probably won't get my business again anytime soon.
