Value Village, a Savers brand, is a for-profit, global thrift retailer offering great quality, gently used clothing, accessories and household goods. Their Rethink Reuse® business model of purchasing, reselling and recycling gives communities a smart way to shop and keeps more than 700 million pounds of used goods from landfills each year. They also help more than 100 nonprofit organizations by purchasing donated goods from them, which provides a source of revenue to help supports their vital community programs and services. Value Village operates over 300 locations and has 20,000 employees. The company has a long history, starting as a single thrift shop in San Francisco in 1954. Today, it is a large for-profit thrift retailer with stores in the US, Canada, and Australia. They partner with non-profits to collect donations, for which they pay a flat rate, and then sell the items for a profit. Customers generally enjoy the shopping experience at Value Village, praising the wide selection of goods, friendly staff, and clean store environment. However, some have noted that the pricing can be inconsistent, and the self-checkout system can be frustrating, with long lines and customers unsure of how to use it.
Great place to browse for a treasure, especially on a Tuesday (with a senior discount 30%) or if you have a coupon received for making a donation 20%).

Most things are obscenely over priced. But if you want to kill some time you may find a hidden treasure.

Keep your eyes peeled; never know what you'll find. It is prudent to watch the prices though, this is a FOR profit business.
