    This place is absolutely adorable! Very clean, organized with great selection. I found several unique jewelry pieces, kids clothes and accessories here. Last time I was in, I overheard one of the managers training an associate. She was very compassionate, kind and understanding and it's obvious that they care about their employees. It made me a bit emotional because I know from experience that service industry often lacks in this area. Keep up the great work!

    I love shopping at ZABS! You never know what you might find. I have purchased beautiful gently used clothing for myself and my two boys. I have also purchased high end furniture as well.

    What a great store! Love the shabby chic look of the place and there are always some great finds including refurbished furniture! And their goal and mission is the best part- creating work opportunities for adults with special needs . Definitely check it out if your in the neighborhood!

    There prices are higher than some other thrift stores. If you're looking for designer items, this is the place to go. Also, don't forget to check out the clearance rack in the back room. You can find some nice things for a quarter.
