I've found some really goooood stuff from 2nd Ave. besides clothing, I've found brand new Ugg boots and lamp shades and surging platters and purses (the good kind) and board games. Plus they stay open late! I've also noticed China dish ware that I've been kinda eyeing-only because I think married people should own Bone China dishes with a China cabinet (don't question me). There's always a sale on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays with random colors assigned to tags for which the store honors different colored labeled tags on different sale days (it's a surprise to everyone...even the store clerks). I ONLY GO ON SALE DAYS though because I feel like I can get something brand new at the cost of a gently used item sometimes. Or maybe I'm just cheap?? But seriously, 2nd Ave is a bit pricey when it comes to non-discounted items. A few gripes come to mind though: 1. Over priced on non-sale days. 2. The floor employees are not friendly AT ALL. 3. They only have a small selection of furniture on any given day. 4. The isles could be better maintained. With all said, 2nd Ave is definitely a place to stop by while you're in the area (or am I the only one who looks for good thrift store when I go through neighborhoods??). Just make sure you choose a good sale day to visit. read more

This is a nice thrift store. They have great values. Very clean store. Well stocked with new items daily. Also, they have a discount club you can join to get discounts on your items. The cashier Joslynn , was very nice and helpful. Great place to purchase 2nd hand items read more

I kinda enjoy watching this once great thrift shop die a slow death and become the worst store in the area. It's sad really. The store is poorly managed and has been ran into the ground. The rising prices make no sense. How do you F up running a thrift store. Die slow. read more

I love this thrift store. I find something EVERY TIME i come . The shoes here are amazing. I found real Uggs for $4 here only thing was the inside fur was messed up but no one will see that lol . I've gotten a lot of jewelry from here too . Love how on Sundays , Monday's & Thursday's it's 50% certain colors . read more

Love finding items for my garden or projects at thrift stores. Personally, this is the best one. It's as big as a Walmart. They have everything! Pay attention to sale days (check the website) and you'll save 50% off select color tags. The clothes are great! Many of them are new coming from other reputable stores. Household and toys are aplenty! A lot of nostalgia type of electronics! It's a must go place! read more

Everyone should not have second thoughts entering this store. Just to see that a store like this exist is a THrILL. You will find all the JUNKS one sees or need @ super low prices(like they are giving it away) !!! From old donated wires, toys, vases, pots and pans.....mugs, dinning plate sets, clothing, shoes, ties, hats, books and sport equipment and more... LIKE A Walmart/DISNEYLAND for hoarders and junkies have arrived in LAUeL. Its fun and an eye opener. You'll walk out of there amazed in a good or bad way whichever your heart desire. Its charity for a GOOD cause...spend your pennies here !!! read more

I've been going to Laurel 2nd Ave Thrift for years and I'm still amazed! Generally you can't go to a thrift store with a list and find specifically what you want, but 90% of the time I do at 2nd Ave! When I don't find it the first time, I can pretty much count on finding it on my next visit. The inventory is huge and there's lots of turnover, so there are always fun new items. Sometimes their marked prices are high, but two tag colors are 33% or 50% off every day. That, along with occasional holiday and special half-off sales, make my actual purchase prices very reasonable. The store is well organized with a friendly staff and customers. Shopping at 2nd Ave is always enjoyable and relaxing! read more

The selection in this thrift store is incredible. This place is huge and very well organized. It is also the cleanest second hand shop I have ever been to. When I moved I ended up getting ALL my kitchen stuff from here for like 20 dollars. I've gotten all sorts of crazy deals from here and it's pretty fun to see what you can snag. They even have discount days too. read more

So I use to shop here on sale days mostly, until I was in one Friday morning looking for something and I noticed they were removing all of items from the racks with green and orange tags. So I said to my daughter I bet that is going to be the sale colors for the next week. We went back on Sunday and guess what the sales colors were you guessed it orange and green. It's a shame because they used have some great deals, not so much anymore. read more

During this covid 19 , I went to purchase this mini frige for 9.99 , before I had walked into the store there was a sign that sid orange and yellow colors are off , so I picked it up m oh nd you the mini frige was locked and didn't open , there for we asked for a discount and the lady gave us misleading information , saying "I honestly dont know what are colors are we change them" as I tried to tell her about the sign she acted confused and seem to not care . The store smelt bad , and some people weren't wearing a mask , therefore I am appalled at the prices and the lady at stqnfinh there not doing her job at the dressing room looking at us black people trying to figure out how to open it . read more

My kids and I love this place. Whether it's looking at vintage records, toys, books, furniture pieces, sports equipment, or random housewares, we usually find what we need at the Laurel location. Always clean, and the friendly staff is constantly stocking and organizing. A great place for sure. read more

Best. Thrift. Store. Ever*. For my college group, we had a skit night and the losing team had to attend our Bowling Night the following week dressed in bama outfits of our choosing. We outfitted an entire team of 10 for $40. The best haul - an 80s style, nylon, teal/green track suit with tapered legs for $5, which was one of the more expensive items. Huge selection, easy color-coded discount system, and the clothes and merchandise are surprisingly well organized. I think Sunday's are 1/2 off everything. I've bought an entire season's wardrobe for my baby girl for the price of an item or two at Gymboree. "But that's so dirty," you say. Well, you see, there was this little invention called the washing machine and it has this setting on there called Hot, and--you may want to sit down for this--it washes your clothes in hot water. And the amazing part is, if you're seriously afraid of contamination, you can wash it again! Admittedly, I'm still a bit of a n00b and don't know the exact days they put new merch on the floor and when the discounts are steepest, but on any given day, you can expect to find a sweet deal. Extra Bonus: The times I've been here, the checkout people have been seriously on point. You know how some people at grocery stores are confused about prices and sometimes need to ask for price checks? Never here. They fly through your purchase. The parking in front is plentiful as the adjacent stores are a subpar steakhouse and failing furniture stores. The Dollar Tree is one of the best Dollar Trees I've been to and you can get your fat on at OCB for about $10/person. I love Laurel! *For shopping purposes only. I believe they're for-profit and purchase from non-profits and accept donations. So might not be for the best cause, though saving you some coin is a pretty decent cause. read more

Too Expensive! Its massive and Ive never seen a store so well organized before! Not even first hand retail stores are this organized. My favorite things to look for are vintage and antiques. Like this cute antique lamp I bought. Ive bought down coats, wine glass racks, curtains, and assorted housewares. I love looking at their tea sets which are overpriced imo but Im a bargain hunter. Would have given this place all the stars but whoever is pricing this stuff is greedy. I once saw an old package (like the package was yellowed and dusty) of lightbulbs for 5 dollars. My ninja FIVE DOLLARS?????? $5.00??? You can get a brand new pack at walmart for 2 bucks!!! Unbelievable! read more

They recently relocated down to the other side of the plaza. It's also now called Second Avenue Value Store. It's MUCH nicer. And they have A/C! It's probably 3 times the size of the old store and has nicer fitting rooms and bathrooms. The bathrooms are pretty gross though and none of the stall doors actually lock, but there is a family restroom available that is probably the best choice. There are tons more cashiers and the lines go through a lot faster. Everything is organized and their shoes actually have their own aisles now. Lots more books available! It's clean and new - much easier to navigate. They still have great things and I left with a bag full of name brand items! Love this spot. read more

I have a thing for thrift stores. I've [proudly] visited over 30 Goodwill stores. So when I say that this thrift store is worth 5 stars I mean it. I was a search for a spring dress and not only did I find my dress but I also found another dress, 3 shirts, and a pair of shoes. Both dresses were under $10 and one of the shirts was Michael Kors and the other was Loft. The store has a LARGE variety of purses, home decor, clothing, accessories, and shoes. I will definitely be back to this location and will definitely be visiting the other locations in Maryland! read more

I heart them. This is my kinda store, I could spend hooourrsss in there. Whether you're cruising around the store, which kind of reminds me of a super walmart, or you need something in particular, this is THE BEST thrift store. Its so well organized and I continually find awesome brand new/ like new/GUC stuff for me and my daughter who won't stop growing. Recently I needed a snowsuit for my daughter. We walked in, went to the back left corner to the kids section, all the snow suits and pants were grouped together. Found 1 pair of LANDS END snow pants, 1 pink Osh b gosh snowsuit, like new condition, spent $8 for both. Pshhhhh. Pass me some savings please. Another day, Im cruising on half off Thursday, head by the 9/10 section of shoes. I find a pair of heels, two pairs of almost brand new adult brown UGG boots for me (19.90 each) AND a pair size 12 purple bow tie uggs for my daughter 4.90. Got a flat iron, scarf, Xmas cookie jar, 2 sweaters and something else. and paid something around $78. A steal is a steal. I think my toes are tingling just thinking about it. Lol Part of thrift shopping I will admit, is the thrill of the find. Personally though I consider it my part in the whole recycling thing. read more

They used to be an excellent value now some items are priced more than at a regular store. Be careful buying crystal, China, or commonly known designers. Those are over priced. Excellent designers that are not commonly known but very high end you can get very at a cheep price. The reason for the low rating is their over pricing, long lines, and poor customer service. Try the 2nd avenue in Columbia MD. It's smaller but higher end quality merchandise and great customer service. read more

This is an "OK" thrift store. It is one of the larger ones in the area, but as large a store as it is, it often feels very cramped and crowded. The bargains are often hit or miss, and you definitely have to take your time and look through everything with a fine toothed comb to find the good stuff. I certainly would never accuse the management of keeping the store clean, and I always want a shower after leaving. If one doesn't have the luxury of shopping at the mall for clothing, the selection and variety of sizes to be found here will likely suit immediate needs. Personally, I troll the shelves and racks for antique and vintage items. Every once in a while, I strike gold. read more

Couldn't believe this place when we entered....it's huge. So neatly categorized. The wood items away from the glass; the glass away from the dishware; the latter from the gift item etc. When an item is picked up by a client, the space is immediately filled by one of the {"worker bees" w/ gloves on.....Got a beautiful sweater from near Blarney Castle in Ireland for only a little over $5...couldn't believe..... WE WILL RETURN read more

I went back last night to look for stuff to do some crafting and upcycling for Xmas gifts. Wow - did I score big! I got a pair of men's burton snowboard boots on sale for less than $10. An adult 5150 snowboard for around $15. A pair of Cuadro women's cowboy boots for around $15 - I looked online and these go for $200+ brand new! I got a bunch of belts and cheap costume jewelry for my crafting projects. And my FAVORITE find was getting a pair of HUDSON designer jeans for only $6.90!!!!! If you don't know what these are, these jeans can cost hundreds of dollars for ONE pair! Maybe it's because I went on a random weeknight and not on a busy Saturday that I found all these great steals. I'm definitely going back!! read more

2A Thrift Superstore - Hudson jeans for less than $7!! Yes please!! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

The selection is def huge. I don't think I'd shop there for everyday clothes but like the previous reviewer mentioned, it's great for costume type apparel if you're trying to be original. One thing I did buy there was a brand new dress (still had the tags on it) for about $4.00. My favorite thing to do is go "treasure hunting" here as they have a large selection of housewares and random finds. read more

I've been shopping at 2nd Avenue for almost 3 years now and been very successful in finding nice used good quality merchandises. The prices can be a little pricey but in my opinion it's worth it. read more

I do not typically write reviews but I downloaded this app just to write a review about this particular store. This is a great thrift store. I usually cannot afford clothes for myself and am always buying for the kids. Here I can spend what I normally spend on both kids at other stores but for the entire family instead! The 50% off four color tags days on Sundays and 50% four color tags plus 33% on an additional tag are great. If you get there early you can snatch up the good stuff. I spent less than 50 bucks on a Sunday on an entire winter/fall wardrobe. I bought 2 heavy sweaters, 2 light sweaters, 5 long sleeve shirts, a sport jacket, 3 hats, 4 pairs of gloves (one leather), 3 hats and 3 scarves. Half the shirts I bought still had tags and even the used merchandise was in excellent condition. I can dress like I came out of a Kohls or Target in multiple outfit options. Yes, I am serious. The store is very organized and clean. A few cons Dressing room and bathroom are tiny I used my debit card and the money went through almost 3 weeks later (I don't know if this always happens because I shopped there before for toys and husband clothes and did not happen) so I just suggest using cash. STILL A GREAT PLACE! read more

This is one of my go-to thrift stores in the area. They also have a store in Columbia, I find the selection in Columbia to be slightly better (I'm searching for high-end finds) but I love the Laurel location as well. The selection is MASSIVE, most of the clothes are in great condition, the store is clean and well maintained, and there are dressing rooms so you can try everything on. Whoever does the merchandising and pricing knows their brands. The higher end labels are priced a bit higher and put on end cap racks, but good steals are still to be had! I tend to go on Sunday when certain tag colors are 50% off. J crew, banana republic, Ann Taylor, INC, Ralph Lauren - you can find them here but you have to be willing to look for them. I mostly buy clothing at their two locations, but they have a great scarves selection, sunglasses, coats/jackets. Check it out! read more

This is the best thrift store I have ever been to! I live right down the street so I find myself going there at least 2 times per week. I have a 10 year old daughter and I've been very lucky finding brand new and like new, brand name clothes for her. The women's section is huge and there are a lot of brand names. The men's section is very impressive, especially the sweaters and jackets. Saturday morning is the best day to go because the store is so well organized and things are not picked through. On Sundays you get better deals but that's when all of the extra cheap skates come out and things are just thrown all over the place, it's too crowded and it's hard to find the nicer items because they've already been hoarded in someones shopping cart. Go on a Saturday morning, spend a couple dollars more per item and you'll have a much better experience. read more

Came to see if they had a lamp. No luck. I guess if you're into consignment shops this is the place for u. Ended up going to Wal-Mart and getting one for $5.00. read more

I went to 2nd Ave. yesterday on one for the Sunday 50% off deals and was able to get a pair of very good converses that have barely been worn for $7.50! Also got 2 matching floating wall shelves for $0.90! 19 piece china set for $7.50 Roxie sweatshirt for $2.40 and a few photo frames for dirt cheap as well. You gotta go on a Sunday or Monday to get the 50% sales! read more

As thrift stores go, this is probably THE best you will find in the area. It doesn't have that thrift store stench that most thrift stores have, it's very spacious and very well organized..most of the clothes are even colored coordinated. There are a ton of things to chose from in a variety of sizes. You can easily go in there and get tons of clothes and spend next to nothing. It is a little "pricier" (if you want to call it that) than a lot of the thrift stores around, but I don't even think that is a bad thing..although some may. They have added Thursday as a discount day, so you now have three days to get an even deeper discount. I often find brand new with tags items in here. You really can't go wrong here..no complaints. read more

Huge store, as everyone has already mentioned. It has lots of clothes that are pretty well organized for a thrift store (some of the things may have been put on misplaced racks by consumers). Being on the smaller side, I found some really nice winter jackets/coats that just didn't fit me. :( The rest of the store is also pretty organized by section. I looked around and found some very new purses for under $5. I also bought some scarves and a fleece hat for less than $5. As I was getting ready to head out, I saw a band new bag (with all the plastic wrapped on it) for about $13 and got that too. They also have kitchen stuff, electronics, and kid's stuff (clothes, books, toys) on sale as well, so there is something for everyone, all priced reasonably. And if you can't find what you want, there is a Dollar Tree next to this store as well! read more

I have visited this store a bunch of times and this experience was the pits. I was in the store for an hour found one shirt for my daughter, went to pay and was told I couldn't buy it cause the tag looked funny. Are you serious? My daughter was in tears. The shirt was $7. I shop a lot and I understand policy's but I didn't see what they were talking about and if the tag was changed why would anyone put $7 on a shirt? My daughter thought it looked awesome so I was willing to purchase at that price. Horrible. Don't get your heart set on anything cause you might not get to but it. read more

Clean and well-organized. Prices are good and so is the selection. Employees are courteous and helpful.

I was excited about walking straight to the girls section to shop for myself, thinking it was going to be organized. The denim for girls had extra small woman's denim. Nice suggesting, or a mistake, or a customer... But it made me change my mind. The sales were nice and I like how it was labeled by color. At this point since nothing was organized correctly, I was brand and material shopping. This is the perfect place to go for a pro thrifter. Customer service seemed busy, but I don't blame them. read more

This is a very good second-hand store -- interesting and unexpected merchandise, generally excellent employee service. The only star off is due to an upsetting incident of late. I was more than put off by an older employee's culling the shelved housewares and throwing glassware, mugs, bowls, etc. into a service cart; pieces of glass flew out of it as she tossed things, some of which missed. As someone who often donates good items, I felt for anyone who gave in good faith only to have them come to that end. Since it was well into the store's Saturday hours, this type of activity--if even necessary--should have been curtailed until after closing. Moreover, the broken glass was a hazard to anyone (especially kids) walking nearby. Otherwise, though, the Laurel store does a great job. Will definitely return soon. read more

This place is incredible! It has as much stuff, probably more, than most large Goodwill stores but it has so much more space, you don't feel like you're being suffocated. They have tons of kitchen stuff and other house wares, plenty of clothes (not great stuff but lots of it), hundreds of purses, and just about anything else you could want. The only section I was disappointed in was the furniture, very sparse. I ended up with 3 picture frames for my desk, a ceramic jar for sugar, and a mexican painted jar for my pens for $11. Can't beat that! read more

This is hands down my favorite thrift store in Maryland. The selection is huge and, though often dated, there are always gems to be found if you're willing to paw through. I tend to have the best luck with shoes but I've walked away with amazing finds in every category. Basic sewing skills help a lot since many of the clothes are almost-perfect-but-not-quite-right. Prices have gotten higher over the years so Sundays are the best time to go since everything is half off. It does get crowded though, so be prepared to forego a shopping cart. read more

It general I like the store, mostly prices, but a couple of times I experienced real problems. One time items were stolen from me after I paid for them. Staff member showed me recording from store camera showing a guy grabbing my bag while his woman was paying for just one item. Some staff members are rude and unprofessional. Btw, when I tried to reach the manager over the phone, whoever took the phone hung up on me, and I was polite. read more

I was standing in line that went into the shelving area with books. As I waited there, the line all the sudden was turned to go towards the back of the store. This shift was made mid-way through the line. The people that were waiting there after that point were told to go to the back of the line even though we were in line before the line got shifted. The manager didn't care that we were there first. He just keep saying to go to the end. I put down my one item and left. This was handled very badly!! read more
