THRIFTOPIA

A nice thrift store with simple and good pricing structure plus well organized inventory. Friendly staff and spacious warehouse space. You won’t feel overwhelmed. A good place to just take your time to look around. They have fitting room to try clothes out before you buy. Main stock are clothing, not too much house ware, etc
A big table for kids to read or do some coloring while you shop.

Recommended!

I love this store! Great prices in store and online. I have been going here for 2 years and always leave with many cool affordable things. The staff is friendly and helpful. You can find good toys, books, kids clothes, winter clothes, different accessories, and many many more things beside basic clothes.

-Very reasonable pricing!
-Omg, they have change rooms!!!!!
-They have baskets and bags.
-It's all decently organized and well layed out.
-Simple yet had tons of options!
-The staff was very sweet!
-My only suggestion; the aisles could be placed slightly further apart to allow for two people to walk along side eachother (but that's just me being picky)
-Would absolutely recommend ?!

I got told to check this store out and this is now my favourite place! The selection of stuff is amazing, the prices are even better and the staff is friendly! They even have kids clothes and books!

I really want to leave a 5 star review for the quality clothing, friendly staff, and relaxed atmosphere, but unfortunately while I was there I didn’t notice that they wash all the clothing in what I assume is Gain detergent or those smelly bead things. I made an assumption that the shop smell was from a scented candle or a scented wall plug.

After I got home I noticed the clothes all had a strong scent of Gain which I hate and am also sensitive to perfumes so I use unscented detergents and wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets or I hang my clothes to dry.

Over the last 7 days I washed my purchases 10 times!!! Even using vinegar to try to remove the smell. Soaked in vinegar and water overnight, soaked in Dawn and hot water for 2 days, left out in the sun, used vinegar and borax in the wash and more soaking in vinegar. I am exhausted and mad. Nothing worked. Some blogs have stated it is very difficult to remove the stench of Gain once it has permeated fibres since it is oil based hence the use of Dawn to break the oil bonds…all that happened is now the clothes reek like Dawn and I have to soak in vinegar to remove that now…. Also scent removing products might only reduce it and not fully remove it with the whole time frame of de-scenting taking nearly a year for some cases!! didn’t expect my week after work every night and another weekend to be used up washing clothes over and over to get rid of a stinky detergent. I also was hoping to begin wearing these clothes right away and not wasting time trying to remove perfumed residue.

I appreciate the fact they wash the clothes prior to sale, (unless they are spraying them down with something instead), but using unscented products would be far better for customers who can’t stand perfumes or are allergic.

Regardless, after this weekend I am NOT wasting anymore time on this. If I can’t get rid of the stench (oh and I first washed them with some of my clothes I’ve owned for years which are now ruined by the smell and I can’t get rid of it), I’ll be dropping these back off to you guys and I’ll have to eat the money I spent on them.

Definitely never shopping there again!
