Value Village is a large thrift store, often very well stocked with gently used clothing, accessories, and household goods. It is a for-profit business that purchases and resells items, keeping goods out of landfills. Some find it a good place for second-hand shopping in good condition, where one can find treasures and affordable items. However, many reviewers note the prices are outlandish, very high, and hard to justify for a thrift store, especially as stock is donated. The store is often described as messy and in disarray. While some locations are praised for great staff and management, the checkout process can be frustrating with only self-checkout available and long lines. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some customers loving it and others no longer recommending it for thrifting.
