Beacon's Closet

Overpriced merch, not particularly well organised but clothes are clean and in good condition

1.) Does this store really need to be in Bushwich? I understand it's gentrifying (aka forcing hardworking natives out and replacing them with people who most likely had an easier life) but the prices are waaaaaaaay to high.

2.) I think the store is trying to follow the gentrifying trend. (which is fine) I though it was weird that the same items I brought in to sell was not purchased but similar items was purchased from another female (who just so happens to be white). A friend of mind who sells regularly at this spot (who is white) also doesn't seem to have a problem bringing back a few bucks, we shop at nearly the same stores so her wardrobe is not that different than mine.

3.) I love this store and I will continue to shop here but I will sell my items in places where I don't fell judged and maybe bigger so they'll have more room for more items. (advice to management, diversify your staff) The vibe is noticeable.

I hope this review does not sound racist of any sort this is just the vibe I felt/experienced numerous times I've shopped and sold here. it's just blunt honesty. Beacon's Closet has the right to buy and sell to a specific target audience, which is something completely normal in retail.

Not the biggest thrift store in North Brooklyn, but the best in the immediate area.

The clothes are a little over priced and the cashier was super rude to me, threw my purchases on the counter unfolded in a ball, rolled her eyes when I asked about their refund policy and then didn't even say thank you. If you want cheaper prices, better selection and friendlier staff try the L train vintage. Much better experience.
