The Bryn Athyn Thrift Shop, affectionately known as BATS, is a volunteer-based operation benefiting Bryn Athyn Church and the elementary school. It is a true thrift store and a staple of the community, offering a large variety of merchandise at incredibly fair and great low prices. You can find anything you need, including everything for holidays, birthdays, and kitchen supplies. It has a great selection of home and kitchen goods, a great clothing selection with gently used items, plus great fabrics for projects and lots of other odds and ends. The space is nice and open, everything is displayed beautifully and organized very well, and everyone is so nice. It is a fun place to shop and explore, and be prepared to spend a lot of time hunting for treasures. Donations are accepted during regular hours.
Loads of wonderful home decor. I picked up some jewelry, art, a rug, a lamp, and a Ralph Lauren tie. BATS is the BEST !

Always a successful shopping trip especially when I'm looking for items for my Montessori environment. As a teacher you want unique furniture & this place rarely disappoints. My favorite dolls growing up were we're getting in and Andy, these are practically new.

Lots of parking, great prices, but a need to spend time. Time is needed to look through the massive amounts of stock. Sadly, I did not find what I did want to purchase, but I did find a few books to purchase. You know the funky smell found in a lot of thrift stores? It's not at this store.
