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 revenue to support their vital community programs and services. Value Village operates over 300 locations with 20,000 employees across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Customers find the stores to be consistently clean and tidy, with friendly and helpful staff. While some feel the prices can be a bit high for donated items, the wide variety of treasures makes it a rewarding shopping experience. The lack of change rooms is a notable drawback, but overall, Value Village is praised for its great selection and commitment to sustainability.
