5 /5 Donna Bollenbach: If you are in Ellijay or the surrounding area, you should take the time to visit this great thrift store in Blue Ridge that benefits the area Humane Society. I have never seen a thrift store like it. It is very well organized and everything is staged like little antique shop booths. The locals call it "Macys of Blue Ridge" because many of their donations are from generous affluent residents of the area. I noticed a number of reviewers complain about the prices, but I found most items in line with other chain thrift stores. Some of the furniture and high-end items may seem high priced, but they are high-quality, well designed pieces that are well worth the asking price. I could completely furnish a mountain home (if I had one) with furniture purchased there. For the rest of us, quality, name brand clothing can be found for 3 to 5 dollars, and somewhat more for the top of the line clothes. Small household items, crafts, books, and other typical thrift store items are also priced competitively. And they do have sales. When I went, everything was 10% off. I think it is like any thrift store, you need to go often to get the best deals. The all volunteer staff are very friendly and sales benefit a great cause. I purchased a few clothing items and household gadgets for the RV, and Bob found a high quality sharp knife. if this review and photos were helpful, please click on the like button.
