They have shirts and sweatshirts for men, women, and children including some vintage clothing. A little pricey, but it's all local made and well worth it.

The space inside the store is small, cramped and has that old musty smell that some second hand stores have. I didn't find anything I couldn't live without but I'm sure there are plenty of goods here that would make some folks very happy to find. It's worth checking out.

People working on the floor - should be approachable, clean, efficient & speak the language of the country they are fortunate to be living in. ( I don't care what colour your skin is, so don't go there. It's rude even if you were speaking a Germanic language with blonde hair and blue eyes.) No change rooms & self serve. BAD call. There is so much theft going on right before your eyes at the self serve - so the end of the change room is NOT because of this. Bring Cash and you'll never wait in the long lines! :)) Prices are getting WAY too high. You can find brand new, good quality, brand name clothes now for the same price - as some of the items on the shelves and hangers here. Makes being environmental more costly and a real chore now. But that was never the goal of this store any way. Kinda done with this place.

You can usually count on value village to be clean and organized and have nice clothes, but if your…read morelooking for good deal this is not the place for you. Clothes sell barely below retail value regardless of condition and home items are, believe it or not, even worse. Today on my recent trip I found a half burned Ikea SINNLIG vanilla candle for sale for 4.99. the normal retail price for a brand new one is 3.99. I also found the empty glass container of a OUI yogurt by Yoplait for sale for 2.99, the container WITH yogurt retails for 1.00 at grocery stores. Despite all this, this not a terrible place to shop around there is lots of nice stuff, but like I said, don't expect any steals. TLDR: clean, nice clothes and home goods, everything is criminally overpriced.

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!

People get pushy in the line, are rather creepy and kind of manipulative. I had to do it for a friend one day - never again LOL! Other than that - GREAT place to find excellent stuff.
