Reviews of America's Thrift Stores & Donation Center
Lauren Bailey
Generally a good selection of items with fair prices. Prices have gone up the last couple of years. They rarely have more than one person at the register, so be prepared to wait at checkout.
Noralyn Powell
Formal gown I had ordered from a department store for a 12/3 wedding was canceled by that store yesterday! Scrambling to replace it . . . replaced that $100 outfit with a stunning Ronni Nicole (dress & bolero jacket) $6.99. Also bought 2 purses and gloves . . . total bill $15.86. Consider changing your shopping habits, this place benefits Children's Healthcare.

Pretty much anyone that goes to a thrift store is looking for a decent deal... Well, America's Thrift Store in Marietta is literally one the most expensive thrift store that I have ever been into. The 3 stars is because it was very well organized & the staff was friendly, the missing 2 stars is because you can't really buy anything! $7.99 for used Mens T-Shirts! $8.99 for old polo type collar shirts? Insanely overpriced on just about everything in the entire store! Used, dirty valentines teddy bears (with 2012,2016 on them) were $4.99-7.99+! Not really sure who is setting these ridiculous prices but whoever it is is completely out of touch with the average thrifter! Overall the store was extremely well organized and that deserved the 3 stars alone!
Dennis Hawkins
Good place to find stuff any day.
My go to place during Halloween, great deals on cosplay items.
Dorothy Willingham
They got things priced just as much as new I always have shopped here but I stopped for a while and went back and it’s too high to enjoy I mean come on 20 for a furry coat
Kristen Stoner
It's okay
Laura McClelland
Out of all the thrift stores around, America's Thrift is my favorite. However you do need to watch their prices, some items are not much cheaper than brand new items at a retail store. You can find everything you need for your home there along with a new wardrobe. I like how the clothes racks are sorted by size, that way you can go right to the racks you need. I could spend hours in there depending on the temperature in the store. Either their HVAC doesn't work, or they are not allowed to use it. They have fans going in the store, but it's never enough. I have had to leave before just for the fact that my children were sweating. They make plenty of money, it wouldn't kill them to have the AC going. I feel for the poor employees.
Jacqueline Sides
I never know what I may find here! Such a treasure hunt of name brand cute clothes! Also paintings and furniture. The employees are all friendly and helpful. Yesterday a young woman Katie was busy hanging clothes and was so sweet showing me the discount colors! Definitely worth a visit!
DjDarkDreamz
An amazing place to shop to get best the best deals and the best prices on high-end stuff at low-end prices
Mike Brock
Really cool place. Sometimes very good deals. Don't be afraid just because it's a thrift store. I got a great phone charger for $1. It's no frills for sure but don't expect frills.
Natalie Hannah
A wide variety and well-organized throughout the store! My biggest complaints: cleanliness and staff. The floor is SO DUSTY and gross. The check out lines at the front seemed neglected and cluttered as well. The staff members didn’t seem to care when the line stretched a third to halfway across the store. It wasn’t until a gentleman behind me (after we were waiting a long time for the lady in front of us with a shopping cart FULL to finish) walked up to THAT register— the only one that was open— and asked for extra help to be called.
hannah Gonzalez
Love the prices. Store looks better than ever. But some employees could work on being a little more kind. Simple things like saying hello at the register, or if someone is asking you a question try not to seem like they are bothering you. Retail is hard work but customer service is vital. It's what keeps the lights on. That being said there were very nice people there too.
J W
Usually decent thing and decent prices which I like, but using your price stickers to cover defects on items is just a dirty trick :/
Porscha Gadson
I have been going to American thrift since they where in the smaller location down the street. My favorite thrift store. Looks like they got an upgrade and it's brighter inside.
Corey Coker
Decent 2nd hand store. Half the employees are surly boulderdashes, the other quite friendly. Prices on nice desiigner clothes are great. Knock knacks and electronics are inconsistent and random. Big store, lots of parking. I'm my opinion the amount they donate should be posted.
Linnea Twaddell
Really wasn't looking for anything in particular, but it was clean, organized and well taken care of. I never saw a tag that was the 50% off color, but saw a couple that were 30% off. Do be careful, I saw several vases that were priced $1.99. You can buy them for $1.00 brand new.
Timothy Roper
It's a good place just right now I don't think it's a good time 2 thrift if u know what I'm saying ¿# Corona
Brandy Anne Stoltz
The place had cleaned up very well. I found a bunch of nice name brand jeans super cheap. I definately will be going back there.
Rose Manning
As far as thrift stores go they're the best on there prices. I hope they don't go up on there prices like so many of the others have. So many people out there still need low pricing. There store is always clean and hardly ever have to wait in line. The employees are always friendly and helpful. I'd say they're about a ten for thrift stores.
Steven Davis
I really enjoy going thrift shopping. The variety of items that you find ensure that there is always something to grab your interest. I often do my clothes shopping at America's Thirft Stores due to the fact that I often find really good condition and fashionable clothes for well below what I would pay at the store. The prices are very reasonable and the clothing that I have found there are often in great condition with only the occasional rip or tear. In regards to everything else that thrift stores generally offer such as books, electronics, and whatnot I have found it to be rather low in what they offer, but, as that is what I have come to expect from basically any thrift store in the North Georgia area, I'm not too bothered.
Patricia Estrada
I've been a customer since my kids were in elementary school and my oldest daughter was in high school and she's 30 years old now. Without the store and there prices I would have not been able to purchase the name brand clothes that everyone was wearing. I purchased clothing for my younger sister and my 3 children and also so many other children that wouldn't have ever had nice clothes to wear to church and school. I shop there at least 2 or 3 times a week .I would shop more if I had the extra money because there is so many children that just need the right boost of confidence and reassurance that they are beautiful and handsome . It's so sad that these days kids get judged by the clothes they wear and how they look. I'm disabled, but my dream is to have the money or have clothes that I could get for young children and give them that little extra help that there mom and dad can't afford right now. I buy almost all my clothes and my grandchildren's clothes there even now. This is one of the best stores that I've found and I'll continue to shop there as long as I can.
Adrien Gadson
Good local shopping for second hand goods. Nice variety of used clothing , old electronics, and other home items. Also masks required and all store employees using safety measures at this time.
Virginia Connor
I never know what I'll find here. Found a MW oven that still works-been working for about 5 yrs. so far. Found a breadmaker that replaced my old one and is the same Panasonic model-and is younger and looks better. I can find clothes I can afford that I like if I have time to look. So many books, magazines. Hopefully, I even found a Nikon digital camera to replace a broken one. The downside:they discontinued the discount for donating items. They do try to keep the inside store clean, but the bathrooms can be messy at times and sometimes only one toilet would work-there was an improvement this past Monday though. Something might say it works, but plug it in first and try it if possible. The turntable/cassette player/CD player and me unit worked, but I couldn't get the CD player drawer to open. Wish they had a chair up front so if you have to wait for someone, you don't have to try to sit at the end of the lines where the bags hang. Nice people!
Thor
I never walk out of this thrift store empty handed, organized well, the prices however have gotten outta hand...
Tina
Recently they jacked all their prices up. Very disappointing. I do like how all the clothes are organized by size and section. You can quickly find your size. It's usually hot and busy here. No dressing room.
Annie B
The best thrift store in the area. Good selection, low prices, and the charities they support are good. No changing rooms, but here's a trick: wear yoga pants, a tight t-shirt, and slip-on shoes, and you can just try stuff on over your clothes and get a good idea of how well stuff fits.
Kalyn N
One of the biggest, most economical thrift stores in the area. They have a large selection of current shoes, clothes, coats, housewares, and furniture. Just bought a beautiful wingback chair for cheap cheap.
Annabelle McBee
This place is a great place to go to if you just want to shop for random stuff and barley reach your budget. Also its easy to find where things are since everything us irginized so beautiful. The best part is the cost of their stuff. I can buy a thing for $1.99 but then its half price because of the color of the day.
Jacquelind Williams
I love shopping here! It's very neat and the merchandise is amazing and you can't beat the prices.
If you haven't shopped here, you're missing out on some awesome deals and merchandise! ☺
DeathEatinMami 1974
My favorite thrift store. I like that the clothes are separated out by sizes so I don't have to spend all day looking for a pair if pants that will fit me. Clean store. Friendly employees. Prices are good.
Willetta Shelby
This place is my new treasure hunting thrift location. Found a real Michael Kors jacket in very good condition for $15.00! This place was worth the price and the trip!
Krystle Sunbury Cranmer
Cheap, good quality clothes that don't smell funny. Great deals on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays is you're a senior, military, or veteran. Usually easy to find specific sections (i.e. mens shirts, women's tops, kids shorts, men/woman/ kids shoes, etc).
Heather Elysia Stidham
Great store, very well organized. Goodwill could take some lessons from these guys.
Jeannie Wearn
I always find something I cannot live without when I visit America's Thrift. They also receive regular donations from my house. I have been disappointed lately that dishes, glasses, and wall art is not at all interesting. It seems that everything manufactured before 1960 has been skimmed and sent elsewhere. That has taken most of the fun of the visit away for me.
Michael Bass
This is one of my favorite thrift stores! Reasonably priced, stocked nice, helpful staff and management. Always enjoy my visits here.
Walter Waltzilla Strickland
I kid you not, this is one of the best thrift stores I have been to in my life. The prices are great, the selection is great. Best thing is the hours. They open at 8. so I can check them out before lunch.
Aaron Hauck
This is a huge place with plenty to choose from. Everything is organized pretty well for such a large thrift store. I recommend a drop in if you're nearby.
Francesca Johnston
Great finds and great prices. We got 2 seasons of a show for $1.50 each.
Debra Earle
This thrift store is usually pretty good, they have recently changed their signage inside and the aisles have less donated goods and more cheap dollar-store stuff 🙄 …
BJ anddre
This location has some of the very best items. The prices & discounts are excellent. I don't live in the area but the cleanliness of the store & the friendliness of the staff is topnotch!!
C McCull
I live in Towne Lake and drive to this thrift store- passing multiple goodwills- it's that good. Sometimes their prices are a little ridiculous, and they are actually going up more and more as I pop in here and there... but other than that, its a darn good thrift store. Good kids clothes, and lots of books.
Shawn Walsh
Lots of selection, clothes ordered by size, no dressing rooms but there is a return policy for exchange or credit. They also have discount days for senior citizens, military and college student (10% off on top of other discounts).
Detlef B
Really good thrift store. Lots of furniture. Huge sales floor. Somehow we always seem to find foreign-language children's books here. The discounts could be better. It's part of a for-profit chain.
Shae M
Every since I was introduced to this thrift store I have been coming here ever since, I went to a thrift in my area and 1 outfit was over $50, which is a lot for a thrift store and used items. I can say this thrift store is the best, I travel over an hour just to come to this thrift store and it is worth it.
Jeremy Brown
Always a great experience. Staff is friendly and store is organized with a nice selection.
Nicole Wallace
Very nice only complaint is they do not have fitting rooms and there is one mirror which is located near the mens section...Womens section really needs it's own mirror :-)

(Translation) I have found a lot of new and used clothes in good condition for my children, lately I only buy here for them. Because I feel that the adult prices are the same as in the new clothing stores. They have very high prices on some dresses.!! From time to time some promotion for customers, it wouldn't be bad!!!
(Original)
Eh encontrado mucha Ropa nueva y usada en buen estado para mis hijos, últimamente solo para ellos compro aquí. Por que siento que los precios para adulto son iguales que en las tiendas de ropa nueva. Tienen precios muy elevados en algunos vestidos.!! De vez en cuando alguna promoción para los clientes, no estaría mal!!!
