My dirty little secret of a place... I don't share this with most people but I absolutely love this place! A hot, holy mess of a store tucked in a remote corner of an old strip shopping mall, BUT some amazing deals on discontinued, salvaged and weird stuff from the likes of stores like Target, Opalhouse, Nate Berkus, The Gap! I'm warning you that this place is usually a mess so be prepared & the price tag on the item IS NOT THE FINAL PRICE, you have to look at the sheets on the isles and look at the 'code' and then you'll see the discount from 40% to 90% off retail but prepare to H U N T! If you can't find the % off, they'll be happy to tell you what it is at the register & you can decide there.
