This is an excellent new Salvation Army Store on Wellington in Verdun.
They just opened last week and I happened to walk by a day later and was mightily impressed with their stuff.
First of all, if you're into vintage cookware, especially Pyrex mixing bowls, they've got them in spades here.
Also, it's very clear that the stuff they have on sale here is well-curated and in excellent condition. In fact some stuff still have their original sale tags on them. I walked out the first day with a pure pink silk blouse, with original tags still on it and when I checked on ebay, something similar would go for over $150 easily and a boho gypsy blouse for next to nothing.
Changing rooms are clean and the clothes are well organized. I'm not into second-hand shoes but the ones I saw would be good enough for any vintage fashionista.
I'm so glad that Verdun and particularly this stretch of Wellington is suddenly becoming an epicenter of vintage and well-maintained second hand stores. Given that so many hipsters and young families are now leaving Mile End and the Plateau and moving to Verdun, it makes sense that they also bring their progressive views with them and are into the vintage scene since it's more environmentally respectful. It's starting to remind me of Brick Lane Road in London. read more
