TurnStyles Thrift Store

To relax I enjoy trying out new thrift stores and meandering down the aisles to see what they have to offer. I stopped in to TurnStyles today, I haven't been here in a year. It has your basics of most thrift stores with tending to have more mature style clothing. They have a section in the back that appears to be items that were overstocked and new with good prices on those items. I tend to go for books and they unfortunately have a poor selection of books. They have nice staff and it's is generally neat and orderly.

Just an average thrift store. Lot's of clothing which was sorted by size, etc. Always nice when you are looking for a bargain. Not a lot of inventory in housewares and books.

So I came back to this place on Monday because Sunday it was closed, and I'm glad I did. The prices are very inexpensive and it's pretty organized. Looking from the outside I thought it would be much bigger but there were some good finds. It wasn't too crowded and I checked out pretty quickly. The reason I gave them 4 stars is because there are only 3 dressing rooms and it seems to always be full. And they were a bit dirty. I had a lot of crumpled tissue balls on the floor and clothes still in there from another person trying on things and leaving them, but there was enough space for me to try on things and be comfortable at the same time.They have a good selection of clothing, furniture, household goods, shoes, books, and more. I would definitely Recommend this place first. I went to another place called Savers which was much bigger but it was more expensive. I would definitely come back here whenever I'm in town.

I have recently moved to the area and this was the first thrift store I went to. I chose it because of the great ratings and reviews. I was NOT disappointed! They had a great selection of clothing, household items, books and furniture. The store was clean and organized. They have great sales throughout the week. I will definitely be back! The manager, Anthony, was an absolute delight! He helped us navigate through the store, introduced himself and was a pleasure to chat with while we purchased our items. It's not very often I meet a manager with such great energy, positivity and friendliness. He really cares about the store, his workers and his customers.

Very friendly staff. Very clean and organized. Quality items at great low prices! Highly Recommend.

My 15 year old daughter did community service with them yesterday for 8 hours. She left that place crying so hard that my husband had to go in and asked what happened. Apparently no one seems to know why she was bawling her eyes out. 3 old hags were constantly harassing my daughter and she felt like she was targeted because of how she looked. We tried to put that behind us so that she can finish, but they sent her a text saying she's no longer allowed to go in.

Not the biggest thrift store, but I usually seem to find something to get. The volunteers are great but checkout is always super slow. I don't know if the machines are just hard to use or something, but always budget extra time for checking out. The home decor and furniture section in this store is REALLY nice. Really good, high-quality stuff. Lots of women's vintage t-shirts too.

Best furniture winner amongst the ten KC area thrifts I visited; contemplated shipping charges for the lovely chairs and end tables (back to Virginia, so took a pass). Furniture somewhat higher priced than usual thrift, but was stylish and in good condition. Clothing was stylish with some new with tags, beautiful vintage plates, Very nice staff. Good experience; go here if furnishing a home with an eye to both style and budget.My thrift tour of Overland Park and Shawnee, as set by Mapquest, was:Savers Shawnee MissionEncoreGoodwill Shawnee MissionTurnstylesSavers Overland Park

Is $4-a-gallon gas behind Overland Park's thrift store boom? I've heard news reports that charities around the country are selling their inventory as quickly as it comes in; but is that because donations have slowed down, or because more people are shopping at thrift stores out of necessity? I decided to find out by checking out a couple of recent additions to the 87th & Farley area. Turnstyles was the first store I visited. It's run by Catholic Charities and operates with the mission of helping those who might otherwise fall through the cracks. Turnstyles is probably three times larger than its neighboring thrift store, so there's a larger variety of items for sale. You can find clothing, furniture, housewares, electronics, toys - even antiques. To me the odds and ends were the coolest stuff, with everything from empty eight-packs pop bottles to baby bathtubs and Neil Diamond cassettes. Talk about doing the Time Warp!If you suddenly find yourself without the necessities of life, you can find most of them - reasonably clean and in good shape - at Turnstyles. On the other hand, if you have a spare bed or light fixture, donate them to Turnstyles. Plenty of people could use them.

The volunteers make this place shine and are the inner workings of the organization. The bay guy Aaron is a huge asset to this place, and they couldn't do it without him.
