I've been a regular shopper at this thrift shop since moving here 4 years ago. It reminds me of the…read morethrift shop in NC I used to volunteer at and donate to. It was the same concept whereby all monies benefit the shelter pets. The staff is always friendly and helpful considering the effort taken to keep things organized. The selection stays fresh and is definitely not a "museum". Things are VERY reasonably priced. I love patronizing this shop.

Wow! Lot of new and used household items for great prices. All benefiting the animals at the Humane…read moresociety of Potsdam Great place to shop

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.

Thrive Select Thrift Store is a thrift store that sells clothing and accessories, and 100% of their…read moreprofits go to support Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ottawa. 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.

I needed to share this place simply because it is my favourite store in the world. They are only…read moreopen three days a week. But they always offer amazing price and this is why I keep on coming back. Every profit is given back to the community. The place has started to get very noticed. So now on Thursday it is pack (full) The place is very small so it definitely gets crowded. That is the only downside that I can find about this store. This is A real thrift store, not like value village... You won't be finding a pair of leggings for 10 bucks... pants, jeans are three dollars. This of course brings a lot of people. Baskets are limited, and carts are also limited. The staff are all volunteers, always happy to help. I love to get my books here! 50cent I believe the most expensive one or 2$. This is the place that you go think that you shop until you drop but spend 6.75$ lol .
