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 over 100 nonprofit organizations by purchasing donated goods from them, providing a source of revenue to support their vital community programs and services. With over 300 locations and 20,000 employees, Value Village's brands include Savers (in the U.S. and Australia), Value Village (in the U.S. and Canada), Unique (in the U.S.), and Village des Valeurs (in Quebec). Customers have had mixed experiences at Value Village. Some describe the stores as clean, well-organized, and offering a wide variety of quality items at reasonable prices, with friendly and helpful staff. Others find the prices to be higher than expected, sometimes close to the cost of buying new. While the stores have a large selection of clothing, household items, and accessories, the lack of change rooms can be an inconvenience for customers. Overall, Value Village provides a sustainable shopping option, though the pricing and in-store experience may vary across locations.
