Revisiting Good Stuff Thrift of Fairless Hills, PA

While I don't get to the area as much as I'd like to, I've come to realize that Fairless Hills, PA is quickly becoming a secondhand hotspot. Not terribly far from Oxford Valley Mall, located just within a few miles of each other is a Salvation Army, a Goodwill, and an up-and-coming chain known as Good Stuff Thrift.

You may recall Good Stuff Thrift from my previous review. And again, the sales floor is neat and organized, and the seasonal spread of secondhand goods impressive. The staff is friendly, and believe in the importance of customer service as strongly as they do the Good Stuff philanthropic mission.

And while I'll always hit up the Goodwill and Salvation Army for the goods, I visit Good Stuff Thrift for the potential treasures and the design inspiration. Much like the Doylestown location, the merchandise is curated from run-of-the-mill donations and creatively staged. It's more than just suggestive selling. It's a collection of thoughtful vignettes, seasonal displays, and an elegant yet homey atmosphere in which to peruse the possibilities. 

In the 6 months since my last documented trip to Good Stuff Thrift, they've done some renovations that added an estimated 3,000 square feet to the sales floor. And though management admits that this does cut into some of the back room space initially designed for processing donations, the employees seem to be in their element. 

I will say that while those dreaded NFS (not for sale) signs sting just a bit in creative thrift store decor meant for display-only, I do appreciate the effort. I'm admittedly just a wee bit jealous that I don't own all of the pretty things. 

But I did score this goth-romantic filigree pattern mirror for $4! I didn't immediately have a space in mind for it. But as soon as my fingers grazed the intricate pattern, and my eyes caught sight of the price tag, I just knew it was coming home with me. As you can see, there's no shortage of lovelies for sale at Good Stuff Thrift.

News and Reviews: Good Stuff Thrift of Fairless Hills, PA

543 Lincoln Highway. Fairless Hills, PA 19030

In another late night productivity binge, I was perusing my Twitter account for any pertinent thrifting activity when I found an interesting tidbit of information. In addition to the handful of new follows from thrift shops scattered across the United States, one new Twitter addition was not only local, but along my usual route of regular thrifting stops.

Good Stuff Thrift is just few miles up the road from two thrift stores I frequent and yet somehow I had missed it.

After a quick shoutout on Twitter announcing my intent to stop by, I hit the sack in eager anticipating of exploring new secondhand territory. And when I arrived the following afternoon, I was not disappointed.

After being warmly welcomed and invited into the exclusive "employees only" area for a tour, the store manager Linda filled me in on some of the Good Stuff itinerary. After opening a mere five months ago, Good Stuff Thrift plans to expand its already impressively sized sales floor to accommodate special sale price-items. And according to my own research, another Good Stuff Thrift location is planned to open in Lancaster, PA. With all net proceeds benefiting children in the community through four local charities, Linda is excitedly planning for the future of Good Stuff Thrift.

And while I see big things in store for the future of this Fairless Hills location, I'm in love with the minutia. The dressers are decorated with decorative flair. The displays are clean, color-coordinated and demonstrate a real love for secondhand style. 

While I love rolling up my sleeves for a little thrift-junking now and again, I find myself having a true appreciation for secondhand staging. The sales floor of Good Stuff Thrift is a curated collection of home furnishings and decor. And this is no easy task, given the limitation to a specific supply of donations. 

Just look at this secondhand spread!

Fully utilizing the space for impeccably staged furniture, quality clothing, an assortment of bric-a-brac,  books and more, Good Stuff Thrift has made my list of regular stops on the thrift route. I even found an addition to my Teeny Tiny Secondhand Treasures collection, to be featured in a later post.

And if this baby was on the sales floor, I would've swooped in, for sure.

Want it! 

In summation, Good Stuff Thrift has a consignment feel with thrift store prices. Stocked with high quality furniture, it's a promising location for thrifty home makeovers. Like a page from a catalogue for a fraction of the cost, this is one thrift shop with good things in store. 

Junkers may be disappointed. But the thoughtful details and vintage wares will win you over without a doubt.
