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, providing revenue to support their vital community programs and services. With over 300 locations and 20,000 employees, Value Village operates under various brands, including Savers, Unique, and Village des Valeurs. Customers have mixed experiences with Value Village. Some find the prices reasonable and the staff friendly, while others feel the prices are too high, especially for clothing. The removal of fitting rooms has also been a disappointment for some shoppers. However, many customers continue to visit the store regularly, finding great bargains, particularly in the home goods and kitchenware sections.
