You hit up a thrift shop, hoping to find a decent CD or two...well, that's what we did anyway! The Attic is your typical small-town thrifty store. I gave 4 stars because the older lady gave good directions to other local thrift stores, I mean, giving sales to another potentially better store...but I think she just wanted to give good customer service. And she did! I also loved her "Fargo" accent! And yes, we did buy some souvenirs (and a couple of CD's) from her store as well... Worth a quick look...tell that older lady we said hi if you stop in!

What a fantastic secondhand store! 10 out of 10 would recommend. The gal working there was super…read morefriendly and made recommendations for other things for us to check out in the area.

If you have time to hunt and go through the extremely packed Pearl's, you will definitely come across a gem or two. Once, I got a pair of Nike running shorts in perfect condition for a fraction of the original price. Another time, I got some unused/new condition Starbucks double walled flasks for under $5, no jokes. Among the chaos, there is organization, but even then, be prepared to sift through the items. Enjoy this place whenever you're in Squamish, it's a great thrift shop that donates its proceeds to the Howe Sound Women's Shelter.

Upstairs is clothing, with retro separated and lots of retro stuff. Excellent prices. The best part is it's a charity and an active part of the Parksville community, all the money goes to local outreach programs and they aren't associated with any church.

Never again!!! My wife and I went into this store while on vacation here.

I went to look at one part of the store and my wife went to the back but for some reason the owner just kept staring and watching my wife. As my wife walked back to where I was, the owner actually said to her "are you here to actually shop?" We have this happening to us in the States where we're from.

This is coming from a city girl who is spoiled in Vancouver with lots of consignment clothes.
