I’m partial to this place because I volunteer here on weekends. It’s like a rummage sale on steroids. You never know what you’ll find. And if you’re looking for something specific, just say it out loud. It’ll be there on your next visit. Everything we sell is donated. All proceeds go to the Summit County Humane Society, our no-kill shelter. Like us on Facebook!
