Cheryl's Place (Mountain Home Thrift Store) - 10 Lake Eden Road, Black Mountain / more of a traditional thrift store, but their prices are amazing and it benefits a great cause: " it provides jobs and training for older youth as they work toward adulthood. Second, it provides income for the ministry serving abused, abandoned, and neglected children."
