CIS Thrift Store - (Near New Braunfels, TX)

5 /5 Anna Heikes: Friendly staff, GREAT prices, good selection! I go to my fair share of thrift stores and this quickly has become one of my favorites. They also have a pretty generous student discount! They have a regular section then a boutique section, and a good selection of furniture. I found a very cute nightstand in great condition for $25.

5 /5 H: Real low prices and some cool finds. Pretty well organized, friendly staff. Recommended!

1 /5 Bender Rodriguez: I recently visited CIS for the first time in a few months, eager to see what had changed since my last trip. Upon entering, I was welcomed by the friendly and familiar faces of my favorite employees, which was the highlight of my visit. However, I was disappointed to find the store in disarray. It appeared that donated items had been haphazardly tossed onto the racks, resulting in a cluttered and unorganized shopping environment. The neatness and tidiness I remembered have clearly suffered. Another concerning change is the pricing; items are now priced ridiculously high. During my last visit, the store was spotless and had great deals, which made shopping enjoyable. Unfortunately, it seems to have gone downhill, and I wonder if this decline is due to changes in leadership or simply being understaffed. Regrettably, CIS is no longer the vibrant and well-organized store I used to love. I hope they can address these issues to restore a positive shopping experience.

1 /5 Jasonian: I love this thrift store so much! I always find such good stuff and go at least three times a week. However, these past few weeks have been atrocious! So, so messy! And where are the Christmas items? It’s about to be Thanksgiving. I don’t know if it’s understaffing or change in leadership or whatever the fact but I feel like things are just thrown around now. I always find such good stuff in the boutique but the prices have been unreasonably inflated recently. I love this store so much and wish that things can turn around but my hopes are not very high.

5 /5 M N: CIS Thrift Store is a local gem with great, affordable prices and unique finds. The staff are kind and authentic. Consider donating here instead of big box stores—it supports a great cause.
