This location always has such awesome items and is really well organized and maintained. I would recommend it for anyone looking for an off that impact treasure trove. read more

Normally love this place, fair pricing, everything clearly labeled in price, but I was just in there a minute ago & they told me they're now going to be bagging the loose toys?? I like being able to pick them out and pay for each item individually. Don't think I'll be coming here as frequently anymore, super disappointing. This is my go to thrift store read more

The employees here are always friendly. But the prices are not it anymore. Most of the small trinkets are priced at $8 per. I honestly can't justify driving here anymore because these are boutique prices, not thrifting prices. I also understand that it's for DAV as well, but we've lost connection with all types of struggling people. Veterans services aren't like they use to be, and neither are cheaper thrifting prices :( read more

A few years ago the place used to be affordable, Now they lost their minds with the prices, 15 bucks for a casserole dish that goodwill sells for a quarter of the price, The employees are nice but just go to the chkd up the street if you want to buy something that you can afford. read more

This is the most expensive thrift store I have ever been in. They sell things for more than they are new. One example of the insane prices, $699.00 for a belt. It's a thrift store..... read more

I have donated several times to DAV Thrift Store located on Centerville Parkway in the heart of Great Bridge. As thrift stores go, this is a pretty good one. The staff is friendly, the store is clean and well organized and they make you happy that you made a donation to the organization. read more

DAV Thrift Store - Outside signage - Thrift Stores Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Pathetic operation.. prices are higher than ebay and Amazon! not to mention the selection of items is very very poor. The item drop-off employees are rude with no communication skills at all. read more

This place is nice. Well organized and nice things some junk but mostly good stuff and it goes to a great cause. Worth the drive and avoid Style Encore! They have poor customer service - didn't want to go through my bags and offered me $3 for one piece - I brought in at least 60 items - some had tags! read more

Decent selection of books, but too many cookbooks. It was raining when I went in and there were several areas in the store that had water on the floor. I almost slipped twice. I bought a very large wooden fork that I assume is meant to be a wall decoration. I plan on using it to poke a hornet's nest on my porch. It was only $12. The person at the cash register said that my wife had been in earlier. I asked how she knew it was my wife and she just laughed. Bathroom was very large. Pets on leash allowed. read more

DAV Thrift Store - Who is this? - Thrift Stores Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Over priced for free donations, items are separated according to the way they value them and priced as such.

My granddaughter an I went there on Sunday and the lady behind the counter/display case was Rude put my items in a tote bag an I ask for. a new bag an she shoved it me an I said lazy people and walked away an as I was headed out the door she wanted to yell let's take it outside She was rude an should be fired I won't give my money to this store I reported it to the manager whom never apologized said he would view the camera read more

It was okay, The workers were super nice, the clothes were a bit pricy for a thrift store. They had lots of items to choice from but most of them were for older people but their was a section that catered to younger customers like the tank top section. read more

I like to pop in here every now and then and appease my Gear Acquisition Syndrome. In this case, that gear is Digicams. This was my final thrift stop on Sunday and I arrived 5 minutes before closing. (4:55pm). The camera gear is always up front in the glass case next to the register and after looking at the bottom and middle shelves I finally hit gold on the top one. Literally. There was a newspaper on the counter top so I was unable to see the contents of the top shelf in the case until I moved the paper. Low and behold I found a beautiful Olympus digicam that looked brand new. It came with the the charger, and a stock battery that still holds a charge along with a xD-Picture card (anyone remember those things). Long story short after a little bit of haggling I walked out to my car camera in hand, for less than $15. I've had luck here several times. About a month ago I picked up Pentax Optio digicam for $5. Thrifting is easy. All it takes is a little patience and sometimes a little haggling. One of the other reviews said the prices are to high, more like retail. Au contraire mon frère. It's a game. Items are marked to move. Sometimes they're color coded. If you know what the mean, you're one leg up. Never be afraid to ask for a discount, of if they can do better... or ever flat out suggest your own price. I find 9 times out of 10 any thrift store will make the sale so long as it's fair to them to. Last but not least, this is the Disabled American Vets thrift store. Not only do I do buy here on occasion, but I'm more than happy to donate items to this location as the proceeds help veterans. It's a great place all around. read more

Disappointing prices. We're new to the area but just moved here from an area that's considered higher cost of living. I was surprised by the prices at this thrift store. I think the most surprising was almost $7 for a pair of Old Navy mens jeans. I might try again another time but the pricing is a big deterrent for me. The most I've paid for mens jeans in a thrift store where we lived was $5 for Lucky Brand jeans in good condition. read more

DAV Thrift Store - Old Navy mens jeans - Thrift Stores Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Everything is insanely over priced!!!! No dressing rooms to try anything on since Covid 2019... it's now 2025. Other thrift stores have had dressing rooms reopened for over a year, not sure what the excuse is because they didn't give a why? Would recommend so many other thrift stores in 757 over this one. read more

Limited selection and prices too high for quality of items. Need to add additional discount days. Only have military discount days. Pleasant staff. read more

Good service nice workers, but some of the prices are pretty ridiculous better off going too marshall's or ross if looking for clothes at a decent price. read more

Nice selection, not sure of best time to get there. Friendly people, a good value on items.

This DAV Thrift Store is pretty similar to other local DAV store locations. The staff is friendly and helpful, the store is clean and organized, prices are clearly marked, clothing is sorted on racks according to type and size. The spacious private parking lot is well maintained and free of debris, the walk up to the entrance is always clear. Not all thrift stores offer dressing rooms so I appreciate that this one has them. I know the recycled clothes are very inexpensive and the money goes for a good cause (supporting disabled American military veterans) but it's still nice to be able to try on a garment or two to make sure they fit before purchasing them. Like most thrift stores, sometimes you can find great bargains on items you want and other times you just can't find anything of interest. There is always a good selection of items like clothing and accessories, shoes, dishes, flatware, toys, etc... It's more hit or miss if you're shopping household goods, small appliances, electronics, power tools, furniture, etc... This DAV Thrift Store location (like other local DAV stores) is among the better local thrifts. In my experience, DAV generally has a better selection than most other local thrift stores so they must have a superior system of donations and distribution. If you have a military ID be sure to check out their Military Appreciation Day on the 15th of every month and get a generous discount. read more

This is my favorite thrift store in all of Hamptons! I'm always trying to find quality WOOD furniture that I can upcycle or convert into something else, and they always have a good amount, and boy does it go fast. I wanted a table I saw there, and the next day it was gone. You literally have to buy when you see and commit to the item lol. I also got a Blogilates gallon size waterbottle for $2, when those easily go for $40 brand new. The staff is really friendly, and the items are pretty good quality for being second hand. They have a minimal toy selection, as opposed to the other DAV in Virginia Beach, but it's really all about what you are looking for. I recommend. They give back to veterans. read more

I frequent this thrift store often and always find great deals from places like the loft, Banana Republic, target, black and white market, but I will say it is confusing as to how things are priced when everything is donated for free while the prices continue to climb. I find myself being able to go to Ross for a lot of the kids clothes and pay the exact same price for something brand new. That being said , The staff however, is absolutely wonderful and so friendly every time we go in. read more

If you're a yard sale fan, you would appreciate the DAV. Lots of random things for a whole lot less than what you would pay elsewhere. I browse the clothes section every time because you never know when you'll run across brand name items in great condition--sometimes they still have the orignal tag on them. This location has three dressing rooms available and an empty clothes rack that is 2 steps away from all three dressing room doors where you can hang the clothes you don't wish to buy. If you need to donate items, it couldn't be easier. Simply pull your vehicle up the the covered area on the right side of the building and one of the staff will offload the items for you and provide you a donation form for tax purposes. Very friendly staff. Clean store. Can't go wrong with the DAV! read more

The dressing rooms have been closed for a LONG time. Past 2 times I've gone. They need to get the lock fixed if that's the real problem. The had two and both were closed. Losing out on A LOT of sales bc the items are not refundable..so if I can't try them on I'm not buying them .. If they fit I would have spent around 50$ ...compound that by all the customers shopping for clothes a day and you are losing serious sales. People are friendly there ..staff...other areas are organized and mostly kept clean. read more

Absolutely one of the best thrift stores I've ever shopped in. I've found lots of good clothes, but unfortunately the price has gone way up (2022). read more

Really nice staff, cheap movie prices, have stuff the bag deals, good variety of clothes, games, and books. The store is always clean when I've gone. A great location for weekend browsing. read more

DAV Thrift Store - Storefront - Thrift Stores Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I have shopped at this store since it opened. It's always been my favorite thrift store, but now not so much. The staff are wonderful, friendly and helpful! The prices have gotten ridiculous. Way too high. Today I saw a fake Coach purse priced for $34.93!!! If you're going to do "boutique " pricing please take 2 minutes to research the item. Universal Thread boots from Target were marked $19!!! Whoever does the pricing needs a reality check. The inventory is DONATED. I now take my donations to CHKD. Maybe that's what this manager is hoping will happen?? read more

I love this place, and I miss it! I felt like family there and I look forward to seeing the staff at this store again. the items for sale are nostalgic and fairly priced. I can't wait to return! read more

- Staff is friendly and helpful especially Ferris, Chris and Gabe. - My favorite section of the store used to be the book area but it is no longer. Since the new gal who prices the books has increased the cost, I no longer visit this specific DAV location on a weekly basis. My spending in this location has decreased even though I donate many cleaned and ironed expensive clothing several times each year. read more

great little store with good deals. better if you are or know an active duty service member or a vet. it's or squared i know. cant beat the 20% discount for them on wednesday. read more

The outside is misleading. I went there hoping to find some really good thrifts. However I was let down by the lack of inventory. I understand that they only have there what the community provides, however still let down nonetheless. read more

Donated storage items from my garage today - found the drop off staff to be quite unfriendly. Will stick to dripping off donations at Goodwill in the future. read more

July 2014 to Present. This place is great. Many cheap treasures. Even though it took about a month of browsing to find Aladdin on VHS for my 3 year old, I won't hold it against them...:) Friendly staff, plenty of toys for my 3 yr old to play with. read more

Well-organized, great selection, and friendly staff. This is my favorite thrift store in the area. It's good to know that the money raised goes toward veterans. read more

So..so. I will come back but it won't be my first stop on a thrift store day. Pros: lots of stock, very well organized, clean, lots of parking, hardworking employees Cons: tons of people in here, items picked through, lots of cheap/low end stuff but it's overpriced, no real diamonds in the rough here. (E.g. A plastic gallon jug for water was in fair condition...it worked but was well used, plastic pretty scratched up was still $3.98. I could get a new one for $4.98 at Walmart). read more

I have here a few times and the prices are out of sight high ,my god i look at them and saw a few things that you can buy in Retail stores right now and they are just way to high,The vintage glass and table ware are priced like you are at an Antique store with is just plan out of range,Most people come to thrift store that are lower income and hope to buy a few nice things for there home and those peoiple are out of luck for the most part.I also have been to the one on Virginia Beach Blvd and the same thing there,They are across the street from the Salvation army, They are the same so just stay away from these stores if you are looking for a good price and you are lower income,I know people like these store but none of these store were intended for Upper middle income and the Rich people but i see them in these store all the time,Not fair to the ones that really need these things,Those people that have money need to stay away and let the prices come down for the people that are of need.Both the DAV AND THE SALVATION ARMY should be ashamed of how much they are asking. read more

I love this store. I have purchased many things from here and for good prices. Its great place to find kids clothes for affordable prices that hold up. After shopping at a few different thrift stores in the area, this one by far, is my favorite. read more

You almost feel like you are in Walmart with the prices in this thrift store $2.98 for one wine glass which makes a set of 4 $12 are you serious.... If you can afford to pay three quarters of full price you don't need to shop in the thrift store I feel bad for those who really have to shop here. A huge difference in the prices and the quality of merchandise at the Centerville store and the Virginia Beach store! Goodwill stores are your best best for the best prices and quality (up to date clothing). read more

I love this little thrift store. You pay a little more here but it goes to the disabled veterans, so I don't mind.

I come here literally everyday! I love it! Great prices and a really great selection of kitchenware to choose from. To be honest the kitchenware is my favorite isle. The employees are always nice and there if you need anything :) My favorite store! read more

My favorite thrift store! Good prices...Staff is friendly and the store is kept clean and organized:)
