The Growing Place

I love The Growing Place. I always find something I can't pass up, clothes, books, toys, furniture; they even have art and I've found a lot of it from Maine artists and of Maine scenery, I especially love the old Maine art. They have really great taste in the items they choose to sell.

Awesome opportunity to purchase gently used clothing for a fraction of the price! Can also bring in clothing for consignment. Staff is friendly and accommodating!

The process is easy, and I appreciate having store credit for my consignment items to save money on items for my children. I feel the selection is typically good, prices are fair, and it's fun!

Great prices great toys great clothes love this place!

A lot of baby clothes and maternity clothes in great condition. Low prices

Good selection of of consignment children's gear at good prices. Two locations.

Decent inventory

For shopping they're great but because it's a smaller place they're very fussy on what they take for consignment

DO NOT Shop or Donate your clothing here. I brought in a whole tote of basically brand new Ladies and Childrens coming season clothes here and they would not accept them because 1 winter coat I brought in had pilling and they completely discarded the rest of the tote with basically brand new clothes.....

Here you have a local business that could be helping to boost the Maine economy but only serves and takes items in perfect condition and completely discards donations from the other majority of the community that may not have clothes in absolute "perfect" condition.

Businesses like this are equally as responsible for the Maine economic collapse....

You can find nice items in store but the staff and owner are always so stand off ish and are not accomodating with any return or issue with items purchased. Would much rather support a small local business where they treat you with respect and are friendly and helpful.
