Great experience here recently. They had a 70% off clearance…read moresale going on with plenty of merchandise to browse through. Lots of shoppers in the store and the clothing was a bit disorganized in the men's section... Probably as a result of the traffic flow. Expect to find everything from shoes to shorts, sweaters to jeans and everything in between. Regular prices seemed fair... Few items priced more than $20. On this visit I bought a couple tees and a couple sweaters. I was picky with what I chose and was pleased with the final haul and price paid(under $40)! This was my first introduction to this franchise and I was pleasantly surprised overall. I did not have much interaction with staff except for paying for my purchases but they seemed nice. I'll definitely be back.

My girlfriend of many years just died and I have been like a second mom to her daughter so I am…read moretrying to get funds together so she can pay for the funeral home. My girlfriend was basically bedridden the the past 7-8 years but that didn't stop her from shopping online. So I washed everything except for clothes and shoes that still had tags on them. I was referred to Plato's Closet so I took about a third of everything to them. There is about 100 pair of shoes 80% brand new, purses brand new. Dresses and pants brand new still with tags or in original plastic bags. A tote full of Betty Boop stuff in new condition.There was no insurance so I was selling everything. When I had taken the 6+ boxes in the 2 young girls Stephanie and Savana said they wouldn't take them because they could smell smoke on them. Yes I had a cigarette on the way to the store, I wasn't aware of this policy. As I said I had washed every item so they could undoubtedly smell smoke on me but all of these clothes were in sealed boxes and these girls never so much as open any of the boxes. There are other stores and never will I recommend this store to anyone. I even offered to rebag everything and bring them back but I could tell it would be a waste of my time. Maybe because I'm in my 70's they thought these clothes wouldn't be "young" enough, how wrong they were. I'm so angry right now because they never so much as opened any of the boxes. Management shouldn't allow teenagers to be making these kind of decisions. Shame on Plato's Closet! (On my way out I said they were missing out on some awesome goods and she replied it's okay we get lots of stuff brought in)

I did buy a cool radio from there, which was a little overpriced I thought for a second hand store but still cheaper than buying new. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this place to anyone since there are many other thrift stores in the Abbotsford area which I believe to be better, bigger and a portion of their profits go to good causes.

The old women pricing things have no idea…read morewhat is good, so sometimes I'll find a pair of Seven for All Mankind jeans for $5, a great antique coffee canister for $3, or a fantastic pair of vintage leather boots for $4, but I can't expect to find treasure here every time I come. Prices have been rising in recent years, so don't be discouraged if you go and find $40 boots, no designer jeans and cracked coffee canisters. You have to go back on a regular basis to diamond dig. I try to go here looking for something in mind. (Example: I come here a lot in summer to pick up canning jars, a dozen for $4, and then I'll peruse over boots, sweaters and coats -best to find in summer because people are mostly looking for shorts, tank tops and sandals) I don't always leave with the thing I was looking for, but I might find it next time I stop by. They always have a colour 50% off. The last Friday and Saturday of the month they have 50% off on 4 colours or more. Happy shopping!

I took a class their owner taught, all about how to use those different feet that came with my sewing machine. It was a game-changer! Instead of just using the same foot over and over, I began to experiment with different feet and even ordered MORE specialty feet to use. She also had an amazing deal on a whole bag of feet which I bought on the spot that day and continue to use. In addition to sewing feet (and other notions) LoL also specializes in heirloom sewing patterns and supplies. You have never seen such beauty until you've seen what this gal creates with vintage lace and fabrics. It's truly awe-inspiring, breathtaking, inspiring work. Most recently, LoL has started sponsoring its own sewing expo in nearby Cloverdale. The next one is this November and I can't wait to go!
