What a great idea to reuse, repurpose, and revamp donated items. It’s wild to see something as simple as toilet paper rolls being donated, but honestly they’re awesome for anyone who needs supplies for a craft project. There are so many small knickknacks with so many versatile uses! There is fabric scraps, fabric rolls, yarn, sewing stuff, knitting needles for $1 a pair, crochet hooks, tools, wood, miscellaneous electrical stuff, ribbon, rocks, bottle caps, eggs cartons, beer tops, fast food straws, glasses, Christmas stuff, packing and shipping, office supplies, plastic containers, chairs, spray paint, gardening, wine corks, random puzzle pieces, beads, buttons, leather, belt buckles, bra straps … so much more. Stores like this should exist in every state and major city. One person’s junk truly becomes another person’s treasure here. I was really interested in the Brother Cover stitch machine - however after talking to an employee and getting the full transparency on the machine decided to not get it. It’s not her fault! Eventually I would have realized in the store what was wrong with it. If I needed parts - this would have been awesome find. But checking the brother website the main parts needed to close up the machine were not available. It was becoming more of finding all the missing parts rather than like just a pressure foot missing, missing needles, or even just a missing foot pedal would have been easier than replacing who knows all what else. I’m sure someone else will snag this and be over the moon! It just couldn’t have been me and I’ll live in regret but I’ll find it when it’s meant to be ? The only downsides here were the music and the smell of the bathroom. The bathroom reeked while just passing by it. Aside from that, the customer service was great! They offer workshops too, some are free and some are priced as high as $55. The store really has something for everyone at great prices!

Youve been looking for this place your entire life. With all kinds of people and creatures walking around inside, this is a safe place to be anything you want to be… and also shop donated trash and discarded objects. Prices are decent. It is tough to find anyone who works there though… you can get lost in the layout. But there is also an art gallery with works you can ogle and be inspired by. Pack a lunch cause this place will take you all day.

I had a frustrating experience at the Scrap Exchange. A shirt I wanted had a $12 tag on it, so I asked the associate about the price. The employee told me the tag was a mistake and that the shirt was actually cheaper. I went ahead and checked out, trusting what I had been told. After getting to my car, I looked at the receipt and realized they had charged me the full $12 anyway. I immediately went back inside to explain what happened and asked for a refund or price adjustment, but they refused to correct it. It was disappointing because the situation was caused by incorrect information from their own staff. I wasn’t asking for anything unreasonable, just to be charged the price I had been told or to return it. Unfortunately, this is unfair and dishonest customer service. Please be careful shopping here.
