Family Thrift Store

They distribute flyers on doors in suburbs with the text "FAMILY CHARITIES" "Helping the poor for 25 years" "Clothing Drive".\r The only reason I know this ("family charities" is misleading at best and comes up with no results in any type of search) is because I looked up and matched the phone number on the flyer. I see nothing on their site about donating to charity and am highly skeptical that they donate anything at all. Even if so, I would expect it's a very low percentage, perhaps just enough to avoid being prosecuted.\r When asked via email, they offered no response to the question of their charitable donations.\r Their practices are extremely suspect in this regard and I advise you to use caution in dealing with them. Should you wish to donate to ACTUAL charity, look elsewhere. more

To 'Regular Guy': no need to slander, sir \r #1 there was a hairline crack in the table #2 the seats were loose and wobbly #3 there was a fist size blemish on the table top and who knows if that would come out after cleaning Your ad stated 'excellent condition' so WE were misled in the end. Did you really think the driver would just stroll in and take the set out without first inspecting it for defects? Oh, and Jack is my father and the owner. I'm actually a graphic designer by trade. more

Was contacted by John Arthur to buy a really nice piece of furniture from me. We agreed on price of $135 which we both knew was a steal. Then once truck arrived, the driver offered $80, then a second offer of $100 after he got wind that I was moving. Company tried to take advantage and was not up front about their buying process. Wasted both of our times. "F". By the way I think Jack Fontaine and John Arthur are both just the same person who's real name is probably John Fontaine both having the same cell phone number as shown here -> http://jcreations.50webs.com/myservices.html. From my experience it looks like John likes to hide behind the name Jack when he changes the terms at the last minute. I'm sure I'm not the only one whom they've tried this trick on. Oh hey, by the way, John gave himself a rating of 5/5 on Google Reviews 10/21/10. Psstt...John/Jack the ratings should come from consumers of your business NOT the owner. Thumbs-up to you oh holy one. more

Going to Family Thrift Store is an enjoyable experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hot dog stand is a plus for a quick snack. Lots of nice things to plow through and it is clean and sorted out nicely. more
