Very large thrift store with clothes, furniture, etc. They have a rewards program (never seen that at this type of business). The woman who was my cashier was very friendly and helpful. I'll go back.

Beware of a bait and price switching: I had a very disappointing experience today. I took several items to the register some with tags on them and some without. The lady at the register told me she had to ask the manager about the price of two items because she was sure it was not regular price of $4 -$6. (Mind you they are working with DONATIONS!!!)... the manage took the items to the back of the store and after 10min wait he returned with new prices on the items....one piece jumped from $4 to $11 and the other piece jumped up to $6 - $30. His justification for the price change was that the "items were new and their tags must have fallen off." They are ridiculous and I will not be returning because I am afaird of a bait and switch!!!.

We happened upon this little jewel of a place when we moved to a new-to-us apartment. Bought 2 Love seats (same fabric but not matching), an over-sized chair for the Living Room and spent around $300.00 It's a place you have to keep going back to as their stock changes constantly.

First of all overpriced stuff seeing as how it's donated and calling itself a thrift store secondly I bought a bookcase and was told to pull up to door so they could load. I did even though it was pouring rain. I waited and finally went back in the store and stood in doorway wet and waited 15 minutes and no one came but bookcase was sitting right there ready to roll out. Finally went to desk and this man asked if it was still raining because he was waiting for it to stop first. I said it was but I needed to get it loaded and leave. He very reluctantly went out the entire two feet from door where I had to park illegally and loaded it. Fortunately it was down to a sprinkle by then. Will not go back there. Very rude and inexcusable to treat a customer that way.
To the prompt reply below-
As far as price of bookcase "store owner", it was a tad overpriced just as the rest or your donated odds and ends. However I understand why some customers receive rude treatment, as apparently you are incapable or unwilling to give an "answer" reflecting the ill treatment spoken of in the review.

Really great selection of stuff and at actual thrift store prices. Was looking for martini glasses, went to another thrift store and they were $5 each. What!? Here they were like $0.50 to $2 each. Friendly staff and I was in and out. Perfect.

My experience of this thrift store was underwhelming. After reading the others' reviews, I was expecting a much different experience.

The women's shoes were overpriced and pretty worn. However, there did seem to be a plethora of quality men's suit jackets. There happened to be a large donation of over 3000 shot glasses when I visited, which was pretty interesting.

The area is nice. People overall are open and friendly. I really enjoyed the friendliness of the other shoppers. I learned how to identify real crystal glassware from another shopper.

The friendliness of the staff, however, was a somewhat mixed experience, with some friendly and knowledgeable and others a bit irritated and frustrated that shoppers have entered their store. I would not want to bring my children somewhere to be treated the way I observed families with children were treated.

And when it comes to checking out, be careful. Sometimes the prices change, apparently.

Overall, you might find some good deals, depending what you're looking for; but I left this place feeling a little disappointed.

I was in town for a short trip and wandered into this store just because it was near my hotel and I was curious. I LOVED it. This store has a huge range of vintage items - clothes, housewares, furniture, decor, arts and crafts supplies, sporting goods, toys, jewelry, and handbags. They have daily specials (I was there when they had 25% off all art), and the volunteers who run the store are friendly and helpful. I actually dropped a dish and it broke and a glass shard cut my ankle. Totally my fault, but they got me bandages and gauze. When I finished shopping, I had so much stuff I couldn't just walk back to my hotel and they helped me package things so I could hop in an Uber to get back to the hotel. If you enjoy hunting for treasures and things that you'll enjoy at reasonable prices, you can't go wrong with this place!

I heard great things about Blessings Abound, so I checked it out today. They do have some fun things to poke through, but the reason for the one star is the absolute lack of social distancing and many people wore no masks. Then they d squeeze by you in the aisles! Blessed Abound has zero control over proper social distancing in the store...I wanted to look more, but I left, I felt very unsafe.

WOW First time in store. I live in Blue Springs. We had a blast and bought a lot. I like the way it was organized. Couldn't find anyone on the floor to ask anything. Hard to buy large items that way. I am a senior citizen and needed help. That's my only complaint. Seemed very musty but I am guessing it's the quantity of old stuff. Fair prices. Wish I had been there on Senior day. Plan to return.

Always a blessing to go here! Husband and I were looking for a nice storage chest to put blankets and we found a cedar chest not only a great price but we ended up getting an additional 40% off the price! $69 for a solid wood, lid with cushion cedar chest! God is good!

It's a nice enough store and atmosphere, but I'd classify it more as a boutique than a thrift store, based on the prices. The electronics section especially had some borderline outrageous prices. An 8 mm projector for $115. An original Xbox with no cords or controllers for $60. A really old centrifuge for $150. VCRs with no remote for $20. A lot of the electronics were shown as tested 4 to 6 months ago, so obviously this stuff is not selling at those prices.

Awesome Store, Trey the Mgr, has very little Customer Service Skill, is Very Rude and not at all accommodating to me on a simple request. Today we bought a Queen Bed Set, Sold us a Full Size Box Spring for approximately $300. It's for a friend who just had 3 Massive Heart Attacks and he was aware of that too. So we had to stop and return to the Store and get the size replacement process unnecessarily.

I'm posting this hoping Management SHARE HOLDERS get this post and make changes as it's Livelihood lies in Accommodation of its Returning Customer Base.

Lastly, they have a Purchase Club that Does Not Have Furniture Included at All? Thank You for the Read and Please Share and Thumb Up !

I was super impressed with their 2nd hand furniture options. They have about anything, in any category, but having good, clean decent (if at times awkwardly dated) furniture for low prices was nice.

The people who work there are very caring people! I love going in to find most anything I am needing for my home. Their prices are pretty good and ocassionally you might get a little less price than is posted because of some oddity!! I adore this store!

Have really enjoyed this store. A friend told me about it years ago and I ve been able to find all kinds of blessings. Good mix of contemporary and vintage items. The staff and volunteers are kind. Always helpful when my girls are shopping for clothes or for their apartments, and the pricing is right in their budget. Now I ve discovered their second location in the Surplus Exchange. Bought a several pieces including two matching four-poster beds and a night stand for less than chain discount stores wanted to charge me for two cheap headboards. What s not to love? Worth the trip and thrilled they partnered with Connecting For Good to create a midtown location for furniture.

After a long two years of anticipating another visit to your store, my mom and I were were sotely disappointed today. All of housewares and furniture were grossly overpriced. We looked at several items like a medium sized basket was $11, a set of candlesticks were $32, several pieces of furniture like long dressers and tables( nice but used, scratched, banged up, most needing lots of tlc). The tables were priced high $150 and then the matching chairs were an additional $80-100. We love supporting church and community thrift stores but with these prices we cannot afford to buy anything. We will be back with the hope that we will see reasonably priced items once again. However, we left feeling discouraged and wondering what happened to the great store manager of 2017!

High quality items. Lots of furniture. Not the cheapest but that's what you pay for unique finds like what they have. Set up more like a boutique. The staff are volunteers so be as sweet as they are and be patient.

We had Blessings Abound pick up a huge tv armoire. They called when they were running ahead of schedule. They were in and out of our house in 10 minutes and this was not an easy piece to move. Thank you so much for such great service.

This thrift store is one of the best I've been to. There are so many "departments," each having a wide and good quality selection of items. Most of the time items are placed in the correct section/size, but usually I find a handful of items that shouldn't be where they are. I will keep coming back here for sure.

I'm rating this thrift shop 5 stars because of their amazing furniture selection. Dressers, nightstands, mattresses, you name it, this place has it. A little more expensive than other thrift shops in KC, except for the clothing selection which is priced by rack. There were less options in the mens clothing section (a usually struggle at thrift stores), and it looked like the clothing selection had been picked through pretty well. Over all, this place is worth stopping by if you are in the area.

I went here for the first time today, and it so happened to be there 10 year anniversary so they were giving away free water and cookies, which was a very nice touch! Man oh man, this place is HUGE! They have a huge selection of furniture, some really really cool vintage stuff. Everything I saw was in pretty decent condition and reasonably priced. Lots of china, linens, kitchenware and knick knacks. I didn't even have a chance to check out the clothing haha. This will definitely be one of my new haunts! :)

Nice
