The stickers they put on EVERYTHING destroys ALL paper goods. Cheap help (community service "volunteers) and broken, overpriced crap. read more

Yall these PRICES HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL. I am so beyond disappointed with how far downhill arc has gone. They are pricing things that are MORE EXPENSIVE than new!!! Look elsewhere and shame on you arc. read more

I have lived in Louisville for 15 years. I have donated regularly to ARC. I find one of the attendants at the donation center to be difficult. Yesterday, I dropped off several good-quality items, but the attendant refused two beach chairs, saying that they were dusty. The chairs are fully functional and in great shape, as they were seldom used. I will consider donating elsewhere. read more

This is the thrift store I visit the most often, so needless to say I like the place well enough. There's usually a nice variety of stuff on offer and it's nice to have a discount every day. However, the prices here are seriously starting to climb beyond reasonability! I've always considered Arc to be the more affordable alternative to the nearby Goodwill but they are starting to be about the same price. On at least a few occasions I or my mom have found a used, non-vintage item priced at above what it goes for brand new. read more

Extremely combative/aggressive donation-acceptance attendant on Saturday, June 28/2025. This is the *third* time this man has made the donation so unpleasant, for different reasons. This past Saturday, he almost didn't take my donation because he wanted it in a plastic garbage bag. I had two brown paper grocery bags, with handles, double-bagged, with lamp hardware & home hardware (e.g. brand new doorstops). Had I placed these items in a plastic bag, they would've torn a hole in plastic bag and the lamp shades would've been crushed when if thrown onto his pile of plastic bags. I'd like to note that this is a new "rule" of his that isn't advertised anywhere by ARC. In addition, there are other thrift stores who kindly request no plastic bags because it doesn't allow clothing to breathe. The past three run-ins with this attendant were all for different reasons, including getting out of my car to open trunk and get donation ready too stressful for him. He needed me to stay in my car until the red stop sign. What's interesting is this past Saturday, he was visibly rude to the couple donating a large truck load in front of me, gesturing wildly with his hands to make them speed it up and forcing them to pull their truck up past the stop sign, "for ease" he said. ARC Lafayette - you need to realize you have a very agitated/angry young man working the very hard shift of donation attendant and he's really not enjoying it and is going to really cause a problem when he lets loose on someone. I will no longer be donating our gently used household items to you anymore because of this. read more

I regularly donate and shop at the Louisville ARC. But I end up leaving without purchasing when I see a long line, one cashier, and the woman who seems to be in charge of cashiers just standing and watching the long line instead of helping or calling another cashier up. this happens regularly and the prices aren't good enough for me to wait 15 minutes in line for a couple items. I don't understand why this same woman acts like this all the time read more

This was a one time visit to make a donation for an item that I needed to find another "home" for. It was in good condition though not new and bulky, a piece of exercise equipment I could no longer use. I needed the space back and there was not a single place in Boulder still taking this category. Arc Thrift was recommended by the place near my home where I usually donate. This Louisville location was the closest as their Boulder location closed years ago when the property it was on was sold. I called ahead, got directions as I was not familiar with the area or the shopping center it was in. They were very helpful and professional on the phone. It took a while for me to get an arrangement with someone to get it out of the 2nd floor of our house and into one of our vehicles in which it would fit. We called ahead the other day when I finally had someone lined up to help, to see if they had help to unload it at their location. We found the place easily, no line or wait on a weekday morning, and they brought someone out immediately who was very capable of the lift, no damage to it and quite thankful. We were done and on our way in less than 5 minutes. All of the donation area was really was neat and clean and seemed very well organized. A good place if you live nearby or worth the trip for a hard to donate item. And they support a good cause. read more

Ridiculous pricing in a dirty, unorganized store. There items are poor quality and used but their pricing is very high. Even though they are charging $12.99 for one old shirt they will never fold it or care for it when ringing it up: they stretch the collar out and shove it into a wad. Yet they think the items have high worth... read more

Arc Thrift Store - Old, worn and outdated. High priced at $12.99 - get real - Thrift Stores Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

It's best to go on Saturday with 4 colors on sale but still one on weekdays. The store is clean and workers are always cleaning and answering questions. It is organized and prices are better than goodwill and you can try on things before buying. Books at organized and the check out staff are pleasant. I had the same person for all 3 times I stopped this trip. read more

High prices for mostly junk - they have decent clothes but a sad home-good section. I think people have stopped donating. The staff at this location is loud and lacks professionalism. read more

Kudos all around! Helping the community, recycling tons of still good stuff to its next owners, and a fabulous place to shop. What more could you ask for? read more

Sometimes you find good stuff here, and sometimes you don't, but the staff are good and things are organized well. The prices have been going up, but still fairly reasonable. I appreciate their mission, and feel comfortable donating my own items here as well. read more

I've been going to Arc in Louisville at 1349 E South Boulder Rd for years. For the last year, 2 of the dressing rooms are unavailable according to staff because faulty locks causes customers get locked in the dressing room. On my last visit this weekend, there were 3 dressing rooms out of commission because of the locks. For God's sake people, get the locks fixed instead of making customers wait 20 minutes to try on clothes! You get your clothes donated for free, unlike other businesses that have to buy products to sell. This is obviously frustrating to staff who have to keep explaining why the rooms aren't available and highly frustrating to customers who don't understand why these rooms can't be used! The staff tell me that management doesn't want to fix the doors. Not a good look on management at all! read more

It's my favorite ARC. Sometimes it hit or miss but that's the nature of thrift stores. It's an adventure! My favorite find was a pair of new looking tap shoes! read more

I LOVE this location! I drive sometimes from Denver just to check out the potential buys. The furniture is pretty good and I've found a few J Crew items! Jeans and sweaters for less than retail price and still in great condition? Yes please!! It's a little hard to find if you're not looking for it and because the Yelp checkins are few and far between, it rarely pulls up when I've searched for it :( read more

See all

Arc is well organized for a thrift shop. I've seen staff straightening up throughout the day, which I appreciate. The quality of goods can vary, but with a bit of patience some treasures are available. This is my first stop to find records, but it seems like half the records are in sleeves barely hanging together. I'm read more

So this store has really great stuff, I was really excited to see all the great furniture and home decor they had. But then I checked the price tags, and I was honestly shocked at how expensive these items were? Like for example, I like to refinish old furniture, and found this cute small side table that had a ton of scratches and would need a lot of work to get it to look evenly slightly presentable, but would be the perfect project for me. Then I checked the price tag- twenty five dollars?! That's basically how much I had planned to sell it for once I fixed it up! So if you're looking for cool decor items and willing to pay quite a bit of money for them, this is the place for you, but then again you should probably just spend the same amount of money to buy something that's not used? Though I was happy to find the perfect sized metal bell that I've been looking for months for here, (to attach to my cow horn) so added an extra star for that! read more

Arc Thrift Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

Sure has gone Down hill and to boot I dropped off some donations and was yelled at by guy in broncos shirt and flipped off for not waiting my turn. There are three guys just standing around one was helping a car In front of me yet I had to wait? He was rude and down right nasty!! Told to donate elsewhere. I am very disappointed!! read more

Well ran thrift store with a huge selection. Well organized store with good item displays. Prices a little high by thrift store standards, very helpful staff. read more

was told to leave my diaper bag behind the register.....are you kidding me? I left so quick. You're really afraid I'm going to steal stuff in my diaper bag that was donated to you for free? read more

Love this Arc Louisville CO store. However, guess who was behind the counter working? A small boy (app. 7-10 years olds old)! I was shocked! The blonde haired female employee said he wasn't her child. Another employee was pointing @ the camera & I was telling her the store could possibly be fined. Her & the little boy seemed unconcerned & oblivious to any rules! This happened @ app. 11:15am 12/26/22. If I see that again, I'll be reporting it... read more

Very good thrift shop, I'm happy to regularly both donate and shop here, particularly children's clothes. The prices are OK regularly, but every Saturday everything that's been there over a week is half price, making it quite good. Definitely a buyer-beware transaction, as you may discover a stain when you get home, but they even take returns for store credit. read more

Awful. I drove out of my way to take my daughters clothes there. It was 5:05pm and there was another car donating in front of me. She was trying her hardest to lift it all and got no help from the two employees there. Then the guy yells at me - we're closed. Hmm... I'm the only other car in line to give you stuff to sell and you can't take it... isn't that your whole business model? I won't be patronizing or donating to this store. read more

This is a large thrift store with big selections in every category. There are fitting rooms. This is one of the most expensive thrift stores I've ever been to. Womens tops and dresses were double what I've seen at other thrift stores across many states. Even stained items were at these high prices. I would skip and go to another store. (It's not all Arcs- I have been to another Arc that had more reasonable prices.) read more

This is a great thrift shop! What I like about it the most is the book section. All the books are in very good condition or better, and the selection is outstanding. Whoever manages this section is doing a wonderful job. Other sections are excellent also. My wife and I have bought a lot of children's clothing and stuffed animals for our granddaughter, clothing for our adult son and daughter, and many housewares. The store is very large and well laid out. Tuesdays are senior discount day, and Saturdays are 50% off most items days. I recommend the ARC highly! read more

I called last week to schedule a furniture donation pick up for tomorrow Jan 7th. I told the person on the phone that was perfect since I'm moving on the 11th. When I called today to confirm, they messed up and scheduled it for the 14th. Person on phone today obviously couldn't care less that they made a mistake and told me there is no way to change it. Now I'm screwed trying to figure out how to get rid of this stuff by the end of the week. Nice stuff too. They could've made $ for the people with disabilities. Really frustrating. Also the guys in the back donation part are always super rude. The guys at the Broomfield ARC are always super nice and helpful. read more

So many items to choose from and mostly arranged with common sense, plus it was not too cluttered. The store doesn't have the off-putting smells that many thrift stores have. The merchandise is arranged well and mostly neatly. Most items are clearly marked with a tag or sticker and the prices are what you'd expect at a thrift store. I've been able to find a good coffee mug, 4 nice throw pillows, and a woven basket for my kindling. None of those items were what I came in looking for, but when the chance comes... you'd better take it. read more

This is a thrift store and thus their prices should reflect that. Their pricing is absolutely ludicrous. These are used donated items and you are selling them same price as new items in store? $30 for a pair of shoes that look like a homeless person donated them. read more

This used to be one of the best ARCs around. In the past year it has become the worst. The prices are the highest of all the ARCS I have visited, and the they are ridiculous- $6.99 for a old small plastic basket that is stained that I can get for new for about $2, $8.99 for a single cup and saucer, $78 for an old picture with a scratched up frame, $14 for a worn out stained shirt, etc, etc. It used to be well-stocked and organized with good pricing, and now it looks like it is going out of business. Someone needs to remember this is a THRIFT STORE and all the items are used and have been donated. I can find things that are new for a cheaper price in a store. The ARC in Broomfield is well-stocked and the prices are about half the ones in this location, so I think it is a management problem. I won't even donate here anymore. What a shame. read more

Such a great place! This location always feels clean and organized. Good stuff almost always! I love coming by, weekly they have new and Good stuff. And its supports a great cause too. I'm Updating my review because having been going here for almost a year I'm noticing the prices on merchandise is so random and strange. There's been reproduced art work from like target for 90$ and then a legit brand large camping towel probably worth 30-40$ for 1$. I'm saying the pricing doesn't make sense. Seriously many unoriginal artwork pieces are as much or more than couches. And nobrabd dresses can be 15-20$ ... I can get a brand new dress at target for 20-25$ I might as well go there. Anyway, place gets good things and always better than local goodwills (not sure what happened to them) but wish whoever is pricing is looking at what they're really doing. read more

This was one of the worst jobs I have had.The pay is horrible and the management is poor. The owner dosen't care about employees or he would pay the employees better offer better benefits . I got Great reviews from customers and worked hard. In a year in a half did not recieve a raise. Most the employees there are making middle wage with no chance of advancement. With covid. Almost ever week employees would call out from either being exposed to covid or had it. The store is not sanitized well enough. and it being a non- profit business you would think that the prices would not go up as much as they have. They have!!!So glad I found a better job with a better company and a boss that treats employees equal and fair. This Arc is high priced with few employees cause anyone they hire new in the last year Quite!!! That should tell the owner something. So to the Arc thrift store in Louisville,co. Please appreciate your employees you have and care about the effect it's having on families that they have and need to feed and pay there bills. Also the theft is horrible at this location. The Arc does nothing. Putting employees in danger. When asked manager what to do . They just tell us. Do nothing. I use to think Arc thrift store was good business. Now I know its not. Only thing i will miss is the AWESOME customers that would always tell me how much the appreciate me and how hard I worked. Way more appreciation I ever got from any of the managers there or owner. read more

I am surprised there are no reviews for this store yet! This is my favorite thrift store in the area. They have a huge selections and great deals. They have books, clothes, furniture, household goods, and so much more! I found a pair of jeans here for $15 that is normally $125 new. They are in great condition. I always go here first before paying full price for anything. Tuesday is senior day and seniors get half off most items! read more

I went yesterday and it was in tip top shape! I've been to many arcs and this location was by far the cleanest. Everything was organized and spaced out to prevent clusters of people. There was no excessive dust or dirt anywhere -- I was genuinely impressed. Also, the floors were sooo clean and free of clutter/fallen items. Inside smelled like freshly baked cookies?!! The clothes were color coordinated with few messy hangers/clothes on the ground. In light of our current pandemic, the cleanliness of the store allowed for a sense of ease and safety to me and fellow shoppers. Excellent job!!! read more

I am a self proclaimed thrift store junkie! My son and I often go what we like to call "treasure hunting". While living in CA we went to our favorite places, having gone enough to know which seemed to carry the best of ....and rarely came home empty handed. Having recently moved to CO, one of the first things I did was look for thrift stores, not many close to me, at least ones that rivaled what I had in CA. Then one Saturday, as we were driving around, happened upon this one! And WHAT A GREAT find!!! Not only a big, open area...but SO organized...and on Sat. most tags are 50% off!! I was giddy! And my shopping cart proved it! LOL Every member of the family found something. I look forward to coming here quite often...its worth the drive to me. read more

An extremely messy place, and I am pretty sure there WAS PEE IN THE AISLE yesterday. Of course I can not be 100% sure, but we all have a pretty good idea what pee looks like on the floor. Disgusting. Prices are inflated, imo. Did they clean up the mess quick? Yes. Are the people there nice? Yes. But I would only recommend going here AFTER you have gone to all the other thrift stores. It's not the worst one out there, but there are many better.... read more

Best best best best best best best. Such amazing clothes and great prices. I got my friend a fur coat here for get birthday for 6 bucks!

This is a pretty good Arc location, but I just feel so much if their stuff is ridiculously overpriced for the actual value. I really like to shop here on Saturdays when it's half off day for 4 of the color tags. However, because of it being half price day the place tends to be a zoo of course. Overall, I will continue to shop here, but you just have to shop smart with the sales to get the best deals. read more

I love this thrift store and I've found great deals. Their art section usually contains hidden gems and I've found high quality kitchen and other household items for cheap. As others have mentioned, they have plenty of overpriced goods. It seems like certain items have a set price regardless of quality and brand. As far as the employees go, keep in mind the purpose of the store. Dig deep down and practice patience and compassion. You will especially need those virtues if you wish to purchase mattresses or furniture. read more

Expensive for a thrift store, but the selection was fantastic. Plus they do 50% off most items on Saturdays. Sometimes when you find an awesome piece you're willing to pay a bit more. I think $12.99 is a bit extreme for a dress though, even if it is vintage. Anyway, very clean and friendly staff. read more

A very large selection of everything - clothing, accessories, household items, furniture, you name it. The prices are a bit more expensive for a thrift store, but every Saturday they have a 50% off sale which is awesome. read more
