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. Best thrift shop on the island.

She has taken me here more than once, and I have always found something. Make sure you have some time to spare when you make the trip here, because the place is huge. Not to mention it's a great charity to support. So if you don't need anything, consider donating something you no longer need to the store/organization.

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.

Took items to the front where the lady gave me and my daughter a long hard stare and told us (not very politely at all) to not bring our shopping cart in to the store next time. I replied that I was not aware that I couldn't bring it in, to which she sternly replied, " I didn't catch you". We won't be returning and I don't care to have someone imply that I had plans to fill my cart with, let's face it, overpriced, well worn, used items that should have cost a dollar max each. It was very uncomfortable and embarrassing for us.
