"A Thrift Store Treasure Hunt!" Visited this gem this morning and loved the unique bin setup instead of aisles, making for a fun and unexpected browsing experience! The staff was incredibly friendly, and the half-off sale was the cherry on top. Highly recommend for a delightful thrifting adventure!

This used to be a favorite store with a great selection, now they've changed over to a bin store and it's AWFUL! The item selection is jumbled and extremely small. The bins are disorganized and it looks like junk that didn't sell elsewhere. Mostly bins with SMALL amount of clothing discards in the bottom. I went twice hoping it would get better, nope. They hardly have any customers now. This is a total bust.

Big NO for me. I came here a few months ago and everything was organized and on racks. Now everything is in bins and a complete disaster. NOTHING is organized. Men’s, women’s, and children’s clothes are all compiled into the same bin. There is over 30 bins…. Definitely will be here for quite a while digging and digging. No thank you.

What happened to the Sutherland Street Amvets thrift shop??? The place now has bins of clothes, no more racks. Not happy and won't be back. You can't find anything with clothes dumped in bins. So disappointed. They lowered prices to $3 for each item, but you can't find anything because nothing is sorted. My first thought was they "are closing the location"? I went up to the front checkout to ask if they were closing the store. The man at the checkout was on his phone playing a game or??? so I just stood there waiting for a response. Took him almost a minute to realize I was standing there before he answered. Basically said they were trying something new, eveyrthing is $3.00 except for (I think) the blankets and furniture. Something like that. I usually spend at least $20 each visit. This time I just left. It was very sad. I like the idea of being able to go to a section to look for a specific item. I.E. I need workout clothes and here is the section for it. I am not going to dig through tons of bins to find an item. nope! I hope that @teamamvets goes back to racks. Will go to their Spring Valley location and see if they still have racks. Fingers crossed.

Thift store. Mainly street parking but you have to pay. Each week they offer discounts based on ticketed colors, it is random so you won’t know until you go. The mystery of treasurers/vintage you can find.
