They have lots of items in all categories especially clothing (for all family members) & toys including puzzles and games. They also have a pretty big book selection as well as some household items including pictures & dishes. And they always have a $1 rack of Final Markdown clothes from all clothing departments which I have found brand new items on with tags before.

The sales here are unmatched. I've been here dozens of times and don't think I've been able to walk out without at least 1 item. The only obnoxious thing is having to fight against parasitic resellers who push everyone around. But this store is such a source of good in Jonesboro.

Do not waste your time going here. They close when they want!!! Never mind the times posted on the door. Very poor customer service also.

Definitely the best thrift store in Jonesboro! Clean, great rotating weekly sales, friendly staff, and the pricing is pretty fair. Sometimes I think certain items are a little too pricey, but I typically just shop according to what the sales are that week so it’s fine. I do like that unlike Goodwill, they have their clothes sorted by size. They have a great shoe selection that is priced fairly, and it’s a great place to find cheap used books too. Always new stuff to find and I love coming here.

Could I make ONE small suggestion? I really think the toy department needs a complete overhaul. I enjoy Thrifting for toys for my three-year-old, but I rarely buy anything here for a few reasons that I’ve known many others to also complain about. These changes are simple and I hope you’ll consider them because if you do myself and many others would buy more toys.

1. The bin of stuffed animals is stuffed so full it’s too much work to see what’s available so unless I see it on top I don’t bother. However I do appreciate that all the stuffies are always clean and in good condition! I don’t really know the solution there but I’d be more inclined to buy if it were easier to look through.

2. I personally feel like if a toy set is missing significant parts, it either shouldn’t be sold or there should be a deeply discounted section for toy sets with missing parts. Or send them to recycling. I’m simply not willing for example to buy a shape sorter set with some shapes missing, or learning toys missing some alphabet or number pieces. I don’t really know anyone who would.

3. When I have traveled to other states and gone to their thrift stores, I have noticed that usually in their toy department, they bag together smaller items and sell for one price. It cuts down on clutter and things becoming lost and I bet it’s also easier for the employees. These bags are typically on pegged hooks and it’s easier to see what’s available. I’ve eeen them bag together multiple Barbies, small plushes, or small toys, toy cars, or toy balls, etc. again, I feel like it would ultimately be easier for the staff and customers would be more inclined to buy.

One last suggestion unrelated to the toy department: I understand that businesses like yours close the bathroom to customers because of safety concerns, especially people using the bathroom for things like using drugs or whatever. However, if a small child has to use the restroom they simply cannot wait and there’s not a very close public bathroom for them. People with medical conditions such as IBS or crohns also simply cannot wait. Perhaps a solution, such as asking an employee for a restroom key could be a solution? I don’t know. But I do feel like there are some real concerns people have about the bathrooms, being completely closed, so maybe some kind of solution can be found.

I hope that these suggestions are taken for what I intend them to be: opportunities to make it even better, not as complaints, as I love shopping here.

This is my favorite thrift shop in Jonesboro! I go here often and just look around to see what is new; you never know what you may find. Hunting around this one feels like an adventure. They have a wide selection of men's, women's, and kid's clothing, household goods, and books and they have weekly sales. Every few weeks or so they will have a 10/$1 book sale, so keep an eye out for that. They also have great social media where they will highlight new and special things across the three thrift stores Abilities Unlimited operates. You can also donate your things to Abilities Unlimited (at the boutique shop) or they have free donation pick up.

Excellent service.
A truly unbeatable price! I walked away with over$800 worth of furniture for well I won't get into detail but it was very very good price , from what I understand you need to hit the 50% off days and they have deals all the time so check in on these guys.
Proud owner of a beautiful dresser there in about six other pieces thanks again guys excellent 👌 shop.
