| - Awesome small thrift store. Unique founder. Unique mission. Unique merchandise. Friendly volunteer staff. It just doesn't get any better!
The store is situated right next to Alice Cooper's The Rock teen rock music ministry and proceeds from sales benefit teens in our community. It is a little hard to spot from 32nd Street, as its only signage is in its windows, but just look in the aging strip center right behind The Original Breakfast House (also one of my favorites).
Merchandise includes the usual thrift store mix, a fluid assortment of clothing, toys, furniture, musical instruments... dependent upon whatever donors are donating. Pricing is very reasonable. You can find a bargain AND do some good.
Then there is the totally unique. Look for Alice's image in the back of the store. There you will find a variety of hats, shirts, belts and shoes from "Alice's attic." Some are signed. Some are not. There were a lot of unsigned golf hats on our recent visit, perfect for those who would enjoy the novelty of owning a hat that belonged to the avid rocker golfer. There were many autographed shirts. $45 seemed to be the going price for anything signed. Alice is a generous and ubiquitous presence in the valley, with plenty of his autographs floating around. I'd suggest you pick up a signed shirt for your aging Alice Cooper fans/relatives in the Midwest. They'll be thrilled and they don't need to know it only cost you 45 bucks!
And don't forget, it's all for charity. Thank you Alice! Great work!
