This thrift has soooo many cool things! I love their jewelry and furniture selection the most. The back room that they had for dresses, coats, and heels reminded me of a walk in closet, which was so cute and cozy.

I have been shopping at this thrift store for over 20 years. The only time it was below standard for price and manager rudeness towards both employees and customers alike was when it was managed by the previous manager. Since she’s been gone it almost back to the new life I remembered . It could use some price adjustments especially in the shoe department. Most of the staff is very helpful with Stephanie the manager being exceptional. She’s always been very respectful and helpful from all the way back when she was just a regular employee. Mike the driver is another great worker and very helpful. I hope to continue to see good changes, where I can continue to shop my favorite thrift store.

Stephanie is amazing! You can tell she cares about her customers cause she was so willing to help me and my daughter. She is definitely a multitasker and was juggling alot I was impressed on how she was getting it all done and helping us at the same time. The store is very well organized! Thank you Stephanie for being so kind and caring to us. We will be back!!

I remember when she opened at the first location. The first thing she did was get rid of the donation container that had been there for years because she wanted all donations to come to her shop. So she essentially stepped on another donation collectors toes and caused them to loss profit. She claims to be a non profit and donates proceeds to poor countrys. I'd like to see proof of that. Let's see how transparent she would be if we sent a 6abc news investigators there. She had a nerve to ask me, a tenant with a disability to move my car from the handicap spot so that her customers could park there. She is not as nice as she presents herself to be.

Mike is the kind of worker who always goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. With a friendly smile and a patient attitude, he ensures every customer feels valued, no matter their request. Mike is known for being genuinely kind to everyone he interacts with, treating all customers with the same level of respect and care. His positive energy and willingness to help create an environment where everyone feels welcome. Whether it's answering questions, resolving issues, or simply offering a listening ear, Mike’s dedication to excellent service shines through in everything he does.

I’m a regular shopper at New Life in Glenside! This location is clean and organized! I shop for beautiful vintage pieces! Today I found a Mohair Scarf Made in Scotland for $6.00! You can’t find that on Amazon! Their prices have been more affordable lately! The staff is constantly putting out new items! Stephanie is helpful and quickly responds to any questions or requests! I gave New Life 5 stars bc you can find almost anything here and the staff is great!

Middle of the road... I actually think their strengths are the furniture and the kitchen items, they are small enough that they've been choosy about what they take in (talking furniture here) to their benefit. I've purchased a few items from these departments and have been very happy with both the items and felt the price paid was fair.
So go check out the furniture- they sometimes have some gems that seem appropriately priced.

Skip the clothes. Clothes are difficult right now with so much fast fashion. What is so disappointing about this thrift store is they pulled a good portion of what they consider 'boutique' to their 'boutique' and last time I visited there nothing was less than $20... for nothing exciting. Mediocre brands, mall brands (Jessica Simpson was one brand I remember) So the big store is left with more worn, picked over clothes or a lot of fast fashion... as has been the trend in retail so is filtering into the thrift stores unfortunately. I have seen in other reviews the thrift store saying their pricing is in line with other thrift in the area... I can think of a handful of other thrift stores in the area that price their clothes more fairly for the quality of the inventory they have to offer.

So check out the furniture and the kitchen area, great options there but skip the clothes.

They have nice items but the customer service was atrocious. My girlfriend and I felt racially targeted by one older white employee who continuously spoke down and made comments about us. Additionally, several other employees appeared disingenuous and displayed dismissive attitudes which added to an overall unwelcoming atmosphere. Many of the items they have in the store were great but due to the customer service neither of us want to go back.
