Reviews
"Great shop, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Great selection of clothes and the displays are changed often - clearly a lot of thought is going into the shop. I personally haven't noticed the prices being any higher than other op shops in the city, but have often seen lots of stuff dumped outside the drop off area which is unfortunate! Perhaps to avoid the mess a donation bin could be put outside? Otherwise, a great store with a good selection."
"Overpriced. What happened to the Salvation Army?! Used to be great, now its cheaper buying a pot of the items new"
"I am boycotting this store. Twice I have witnessed racism from a worker here. A customer was humiliated and accused, without proof, of changing price tags. She was not fluent in English and she was ridiculed for this publicly. Another time another customer was made a spectacle of when a big deal was pointedly made about checking security cameras in his presence. He was a beneficiary buying furniture with help from WINZ. These are two of the most damaging instances I've witnessed amongst many that I could list. This shop perpetuates harm and puts our community at risk."
"Over priced for most stuff. Saw items from the $2 shop priced at $6. A set of wine 4 wine glasses for $30. It would seems like a lot of items are more expensive than new or only a $1 cheaper than new. As for the clothing there some hood items but same thing there's definitely better priced charity shops in the area. It was tidy and set up well though"
"Just dropped some clothing etc off as having a bit of declutter. Bernie was super helpful & appreciative - thank you for being so kind & friendly! Store was also really well laid out & very tidy."
