Value Village is a for-profit thrift retailer offering gently used clothing, accessories, and household goods. It is part of a global brand that operates over 300 locations. Customers visit for affordable items like Halloween costumes, noting it can be cheaper than other stores. Shoppers often find neat, older items of good quality not available today, though they advise being discerning as there is also lots of junk. Many people donate here to provide affordable furniture and clothes to those in need, and donors receive a discount coupon. However, reviews frequently criticize the prices, stating they are continuously going up and are sometimes terrible, with furniture priced over retail, while the quality of products is not improving. The business model focuses on reusing and recycling goods.
