    Awesome place... Funky, odd, hard to find things that are a cut above other consignment places.

    Nice selection of thrift store clothing that is in good shape. I think they are selective about…read morewhat they accept. I find the quality and prices very good AND it's a registered charity; part of the Big Sisters/Brothers organization so proceeds are going to an excellent cause. They now have a small housewares section but don't have room for big items like furniture. I do make sure this place is on my list when I'm on the hunt for something. Ample free parking and close to other shopping on Merivale.

I like that the impacts of donations and purchases stay local. And organizations that help kids always have my support. The clothing at Thrive appears to be geared towards youth and so skews on the younger side, in my opinion. The racks are filled with brands like Old Navy, Garage, and Ardene. Prices are cheaper than places like Value Village. They had some new items like Funko Pops and Squishmallows, while I was there, but I guess these depend on donations, perhaps these were from a business (?) They also had some used video games and controllers. They also have (new) Big Brothers and Big Sisters merchandise. Staff are friendly. I believe that many of them are volunteers. They are located in the Emerald Plaza. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

    This place is AWESOME! Every time I go to a new city, I first scope out the secondhand, vintage and…read moreantique stores. I have beautiful used items from cities all over the world: Reykjavík, Tromsø, Perth, Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Montreal, Halifax, and now I can add Ottawa to the list. All is to say: world class vintage dresses found here at SVP! I scored really beautiful designer and stylish vintage frocks here, all in amazing condition, for a steal of a deal - only $6-$8 for dresses, and even less for that gorgeous pussywillow-grey silk blouse with a scooped neck and 3/4 length sleeves! Honestly, I have a hard time writing reviews for these places because I feel like I want to hoard all of the treasures to be found there for myself! But, I also have to give kudos to this place - everything is affordable, well-organized and supporting the planet in its efforts to recycle and offset the fast fashion fiasco that is polluting our beloved earth. My choice to shop places like this is political, not just economical. I just want to contribute less to that growing mountain of cheap clothing that clogs the landfills. I know, I know, I still fly places and consume jet fuel, but we do what we can, right? I was first drawn to this store by its amazing window display - it was a war-time 1940s theme and I was sucked in right away. Also, someone is responsible for the beautiful fashion assemblages inside that adorn the front of every rack - this place has an edge that not a lot of secondhand clothing stores have! I have to admit, I'm kind of addicted. There are more items than just clothing, too - lots of household goods, so if you are inspired to make a juicy margarita at home tonight, they've got a great collection of margarita glasses, etc etc etc - all your party needs. In fact, I'm so addicted to this place, I might just head over there right now... the trick with finding the treasure is to go back frequently! See you there.

    Great for Home Decor and books. The service is non existent. The value is great tho. But be ready…read moreto look and look for a while.
