Will you forgive me? When the other thrift store, south of you, opened, their prices were very competitive with you. Not to mention so many of the clothes seem to have retail tags on them. But I walked into that other thrift store couple of days ago, and I was absolutely shocked at the prices. And, so I drove up to your store and I was so happy to see the prices are still the same for the last 12 months. American thrift store is not trying to price gouge us. And I appreciate that. I found exactly what I was hunting for. Thank you read more

This is a madhouse!! There's at least 15 employees. I found one that speaks English. So if u don't Spanish it's going to be hard to ask questions. . Everything is separated by color not size so to find something you have to look through ALL 50 pairs of jeans, or 40 black shirts etc. there is a ton of stuff. Could not even get to a 1/3 of it. The employees are putting things away and constantly trying to take clothes out of people's baskets to hang back up!! Then at 6:30 all of a sudden one lady as my niece is in the changing room starts yelling no more no more and telling me to leave the area i told her my niece is in the room. She was "shooing" me away. I told her again. Then she turned to another employee and said in Spanish " this b*tch doesn't even know English". But guess what? I am fluent in Spanish. And i told her so in not so many words. Then her attitude changed. TOO LATE!!! Very pushy. Lots of stuff but overwhelming and rude staff. Will not go again. read more

This vast thrift store in Hollywood offers clothing, shoes, accessories, books, toys, household goods, furniture, trinkets and some new items. The store was crowded probably because the prices are low. A promo day sign at the entrance with different color tags for discounts. They have a huge collection of clothes but only three small fitting rooms. I found several great items for a good deal. Parking is easy in the strip shopping center. read more

It's one of the better thrift stores in the area. They have a wide variety of items, handicrafts, home goods, & unique American art pieces. The musty smell is overwhelming especially if you have allergies. I highly recommend wearing a face mask & gloves while you shop. They also write prices with permanent marker defacing and ruining some of the art pieces, which I find weird & destructive. The price point is in the middle, but many decent or quality items are grotesquely overpriced. I reccomend going on weekend evenings or weekdays. They replenish the store regularly, & it's easier to move around the store. read more

This plaza had a two thrift stores which drew large crowds. I love these stores to browse for old records, comic books and trinkets. Noticed the sign inside that explained the customer excitement with 50% off all items on this Friday morning. To my enjoyment, they had vintage records, altgough, they were in very bad shape. It was a very large store with many aisles of used clothing, sporting equipment, purses, stereos and various vintage trinkets. The customers here were overly energetic shoppers and I was in fear of getting trampled - LOL, well it felt like that anyways. They also offered another double-bay American Thrift Store next door selling large wooden furniture for home and office, bedding and even a poker table. This business has a firm no returns or exchanges policy which is posted throughout the store. read more

Lots of fun items & good prices - but it was SO busy I had a hard time getting through the aisles or being able to really get a good look through the racks. lots of workers to help with checkout! read more

The selection was unbelievable and the quality of a lot of the offerings was good as well. The prices are amazing!

I am a regular customer at American Thrift. I am also a club member. I went into the furniture store on last friday, In the past i was told by the manager "Joanna " I believe is her name that when you want to purchase an item you have to remove the price tag which is an orange paper taped to the item. You turn that in to the cashier to purchase, and that is how you claim your item. On this particular morning I did just that, and waited for the manager "Joanna" to finish up with a customer. I showed her the price tag and let her know that I wanted to purchase the item. She proceeded to tell me that the lady that she was with wanted to buy the items. I responded to her by saying you just told me that the protocol to purchase is to remove the tag and give it to you to show that we are claiming this item. So why did the customer not do that? I then proceeded to tell her that I have been standing there for 20 to 30 minutes waiting for her patiently only for her to tell me that I could not purchase it. It came off very much as favoritism and she actually admitted to me that I was right, but she still sold the items which was two artificial plants to the other customer. The rules are the rules why change them from one day to another. It was very unfair and for her to be the manager she's not consistent at all! That's bad business read more

American Thrift Store - Proof that the item still had the ticket on it indicating that it was available for sale. - Thrift Stores Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

This thrift store has a pretty wide selection, so there's a little something for everyone. Some pieces are more worn-in than others, but that's part of the thrifting adventure. Prices range from fair to great depending on what you grab, and if you're willing to dig, you can score some gems especially with the rotating discounts (based on tag color) and special days. I've been here twice now and can say the clothes run the spectrum from "just okay" to "wow, that's in really good condition." I've also seen some items of clothing with tags, brand new. Only downside is that my allergies definitely know when I'm here (dust is clearly thriving). Overall, a solid spot for thrifting. I've walked out both times with 3-4 great items. read more

It's my stress reliever. I love going over and finding some of the best treasures. It's my favorite place to shop.

Not worth it going here anymore, they have increased their pricing so much and its so obvious especially on the furniture., its a thrift store and for 10 % more you buy brand new. They charge you extra fees just to check out. And its so dusty in the store, you feel sick when you leave. read more

This place is huge. I got overwhelmed but it has a huge selection of everything. Everything was 50% today. I didn't get anything but you gotta pay attention to the tags cause that's where the sales are. read more

American Thrift Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

This store has been in Fla several years and today it was packed, it was white and blue tags,50 percent off. I dislike standing in line for anything, especially used stuff. I was looking for a part for my percolator and of course, there was non to be found. I saw a cute little purse in yellow but I already have a yellow leather purse so why do I need another? I put it back as I don't need seconds of anything else. I am trying to streamline my belongings so I don't need any more stuff. I love the minimalist style, this is great when you move, less stuff to pack. At this store, you will find new and used stuff but this store is dirty and messy. I did like some of the art next store. Parking is ample If you don't mind a messy store and doing a hunt, this is the store for you. read more

only cash but they have an atm with minimal fees. even though i don't want to admit it, this place has secret hidden gems. read more

American Thrift Store - 19.99 diva lamp!! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Great prices. Very friendly and helpful. I found everything I needed and am planning to return

Awesome, awesome, awesome is all I can say. My experiences at American Thrift Store in Hollywood Florida have always been great! I love thrifting so I do find lots of great brand name clothes for incredible prices. Most of my purchases look brand new. Friends that go thrifting with me sometimes don't find as much as I do because they don't have the patience. I look at every item on the rack and spend countless hours looking. American Thrift store is my therapy! The only items I don't buy are electronics/electrical items because you can't return them. My friend tested and purchasesd a wireless phone and when she got home realized that although the light turned on when she tested it at the store, the phone was not charging. Another thing I don't purchase is costume jewelry. The person pricing them is not at all familiar with brands. They had a used Avon brooch priced at 24.99. read more

Great amazing selection at incredible prices. Great discounts offered too. They sell everything you can imagine, and in very good condition. read more

I've been shopping here for at least 20 yrs. It's the best variety of mostly name brand clothes, shoes. Sterling silver and gold jewelry, I like there are sheets, towels blankets, pillows, alot of everything. read more

American Thrift is a for profit chain. It's not a charity, but claims to donate some of their monies to various charities. If that's the main or only reason you're here, then skip this brand. If you like bargain shopping or just browsing through these type of shops, however, this one is a huge store with lots of clothes. Mixed into the women's sections -- all organized by color, were some high end brand names. I didn't find anything that appealed, but you might. There was a shirt my husband liked, but not enough. Some of their items are fairly pricey. This is a place more for clothes, etc., than bric a a brac. But there is a small section of miscellaneous housewares, whatnots, China, etc. The store is located where there is a very large lot, so parking is no problem whatsoever. It's not far from 441, but is set a bit back from the road. Signs on the doors require you to wear masks and they do social distance at the registers. read more

Checking out American Thrift in Hollywood is a hobby for me. Why? Most of my clothes come from the store. And I've also decorated my condo with photos and nick knacks from the store which is a five minute drive from my home. So I save on gas getting there. And I save lots of money -- especially compared to prices I would pay retail. I even do well when I visit the two furniture stores to the left and right of the thrift store. I've gotten quality name-brand wood furniture at very reasonable prices. The two furniture stores also fill a bowl with Hershey kisses. Even better, the sales people don't mind if I pig out on them! As for service, it's great, even though the thrift store can get busy. Posh and Ana are two wonderful cashiers. I hope their bosses realize they've got some friendly, hard workers at the store. read more

Prices in store reflect the cost I'd be spending online for similar quality goods. If you think you "found" something remamber that someone very savvy has very obviously fingered your 'find', went online and priced accordingly. Nah. read more

I always have a great time here , I found this place last summer (2023) the staff is very friendly. I don't speak Spanish but we always have a laugh trying to comminate. The selection is the best I have seen , that is saying a lot I have been thrifting my whole life I am 70 now , prices are good too I get there all the time and always come home with something , read more

This place used to be great when the donations went to breast cancer research. Now that it's gone corporate, it is a mess. There are three stores of crap shoved into one store. They have added so many aisles that two people can't walk down them at the same time. God forbid you get in an aisle with someone with a cart. You can't get around them without burrowing into the clothes. And speaking of clothes, the clothes are compacted so tightly on the racks that the hangers are impossible to move so you can look at the items. All the dishes, tchotchkes, bric-a-brac, and other stuff on the shelves are packed tight and piled so high and so unsorted that it would take you days to find something you are looking for. Checkout is a nightmare and always a long wait. It is understaffed by people who are paying more attention to each other than expediting the process. The checkout problem is exacerbated by cashiers signing people up for their ridiculous "rewards program" (you only get a reward if you come back on a certain day). This place needs to: Reduce their inventory by at least 50%. Eliminate at least 2 or 3 aisles to make shopping more navigable. Hire more cashiers and give them a living wage to ensure quality personnel. Drop their insipid rewards program. read more

This store has a great selection and for pretty reasonable prices - if you come to this one, you would be surprised at what you can find without putting too big of a dent in your wallet. I do however have a couple grievances which factor in the three star rating. The aisles are a pretty claustrophobic and at times disorganized - one time I went I was checking out something in the electronics and brushed my hand against a wet rag that somebody left on the shelf.​ read more

This is a chain of thrift stores with a few locations in South Florida and one in New York. I had previously been to the Lauderhill location. My problem seems to be the same in both stores, everything I pick up is dirty or damaged. They sell clothing, house hold goods, accessories, jewelry, children's toys, furniture, and sporting goods. On Friday they have a happy hour sale from 4 to 8 where everything is half off. They also have additional discounts during coupon, customer appreciation, and senior citizen days. The store doesn't give off the best impression. Like items are grouped together but not in an attractive way. I didn't think the prices were all that great either. A set of China with no cups was $200. When I thrift I am looking for an unexpected treasure or a bargain. I found neither here. read more

If you don't speak Spanish, you'll probably be confused. They have items with no tag on them. You can wait in the line that's moving at a snail's pace with the tagless item and when you finally get to the register, they'll look aimlessly at the item before saying it can't be sold because there's no tag. read more

I love a good thrift store! American Thrift is clean and organized. Huge selection of handbags and clothing. Lots of bedding too! They have special sale days and will alert you via text if you wish to sign up for their list. Worth a stop in. read more

My wife was sold a very expensive watch which does not work. After requesting a refund the very next day, the store refuses to issue a refund or store credit. At the time of purchase, my wife was told that the watch simply needed new batteries. However, we discovered that it is not a battery powered watch. Moreover, she was led to believe that the watch head was solid 10k gold. It is gold plated. The store claims an as-is policy, but at the time of sale, the watch was represented as working. This is false advertising and the store must take responsibility. read more

Thrifting is sport for me, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this spot! After spending the day looking for a new couch (which I did not find anywhere!) and finding myself further from home than usual, I actually found American on Yelp and decided to check it out. Although I did not find a couch in their large/separate furniture department, I did note that a lot of their furniture was priced much lower than I usually find it at Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc. Then in the regular thrift side I found SO MANY treasures at such AMAZING prices. Uranium glass for 99¢, vintage Pyrex for $1.50, a gorgeous walnut Dansk bowl for under $2. Let me tell you, I have made some bigger scores thrifting, but nowhere have I found so many amazing things for so cheap all in one go. I will definitely be back and check out their other locations - hopefully they'll be just as great! read more

Hollywood location is probably the Best thrift store I've been so far. I shop here almost everyday. For what I look for it's either a hit or miss and when I hit it's epic. I enjoy the point system at purchase. Every dollar spent is 1 point and at 300 points you get 20% off total purchase. Parking a ton better than the lauderhill location. I usually shop in the mornings and lines aren't bad. Weekends and Weds are the busiest so the lines and parking are a bit tricky. They also have a furniture stores on each side. Purchased a few tables and cabinets at great deals and condition. Just have to catch it. read more

The largest the cleanest and the best thrift store in south Florida. Not too crowded. Not expensive at all . Tons of choices. Staff is helpful read more

MUCH cheaper than Goodwill. Huge selection. Sign up for their extra savings point system. You get texts on additional saving days.

Actually a fave thrift of mine. I have found many high end items here for reasonable prices however the majority of the items are overpriced. They have a nice selection of furniture. Some days I score and others I don't. My favorite find is a vintage Gucci purse that was in excellent condition except the lining had been removed. Vintage Gucci bags have leather interiors that disintegrated over time. Due to the lining being removed it was cheaply priced IMO. The lines can be super longggggg to check out read more

Being a frequent visitor of the University Drive location, I figured I had to check the other locations out. We were greeted my friendly staff members who informed us of the color of the day specials. The store is a bit more organized and has more room to browse the aisles than the other location. Employees were putting new products out every so often, so it took us a couple hours to check it all out. I LOVE American Thrift Stores. I found a multitude of designer polos for my husband, and my #1 find was a "Like New" Coach leather belt for .99 cents!! Polos were between 5.99-2.50 depending on color discount. Only downside to shopping here is the location. There were a couple homeless people hanging around or laying on the floor of the shopping strip (not in the immediate store area). Recommendation to management: please clearly post where the check out line starts. It was very confusing to figure out because there were people lined up on both sides of the cash registers. Overall will come by again! Great stuff and very friendly staff. read more
