Yikes! A lot changed since last time I was here. When you walk through the front door, you'll swear you're on the set of "Hoarders." There is stuff everywhere. You can barely make in through the aisles. I'm not sure what is available in the front room - if there isn't a giant stuffed animal blocking your view, there are boxes in the way. You want to see the jewelry in the front case. You can't. Too much junk in the way. If you make your way into the front side room, it is pretty tidy in there. That's where you'll find clothes, books, and puzzles. I checked the price of a paperback book - $2. Puzzles were between $2 and $5 (some new). If you make your way to the back room there is kitchenware and kids' toys. A used cheese grater that was originally $9 was marked $5. Too much for this cheapo. A vintage looking electrical appliance was $75. I don't know what is was, but that seems way too pricey for any small kitchen appliance. I was interested in some of the china, but it was packed in too tight with coffee cups ($2) dangling from hooks in front of them. Removing a plate would be like playing Jenga with glass blocks. They need to have a sale and get rid of some of the junk that is just in the way. People can't buy things if they can't see them. Do like other thrift stores and figure out a way to identify how long something has been on the store floor, and then automatically drop the price after a month or whatever. I know you want to make as much as you can for the charity, but if people can't see what you're selling, they won't buy it. If you price it too high for your clientele, it won't sell either. You can't raise money for the charity by just hoarding stuff! I do want to point out that the women who work here are very nice! read more

Angels Above Thrift Shop is part of a charity that helps to support the families of the critically and chronically ill children of Massachusetts General Hospital. Beyond the great mission and extremely nice staff, however, it is just a fantastic thrift store. I was drawn in by a beautiful, spindly but sturdy bookcase sitting outside of the shop. Taking into account that the item looked like an antique and was very sturdy, I assumed that that a fair flea market price would be around $40.00, but all that they wanted was $12. Astonished by the deal, I decided to dig around a little bit more. Behind the small and unassuming store front is a veritable cavern of Halloween costumes, ice skates, and more kitchen items that you can shake a stick at. Love it and will definitely be back. read more

Angels Above Thrift Shop - Department Stores Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

I stumbled up Angels Above yesterday while in Lowell. I was early to an event and had an hour to kill and did a search for local thrift stores. I was immediately greeted warmly by the owner, Sue. I asked after things that I was looking for and then spent some time roaming about the store looking for treasures. The staff were very friendly and helpful. (Even the other customers were personable and friendly!) Everything was reasonably priced and they had some great finds in there. There were a lot of brand new items with the tags still on them and the baby gear was in remarkably good condition. The best part about Angels Above is that they are a charity shop that gives to Mass General Cancer ward. Knowing that my money was going to a good cause made it easier to spend. Sue was generous enough to give me the names and locations of other thrift stores in the area so I could continue digging. I will be certain to make a special trip back to Lowell to visit the ladies at Angels Above. Thank you so very much for doing what you do! read more

They have a lot of stuff- I got a great fireplace set there. But the sweater I bought came with a bug! Could have been from the store or previous owner but it wasn't appreciated. They do run for charity and the store is run by volunteers though, which is amazing. read more

Awesome thrift store . Great stuff, cheap price. Got like new nike sweater for just $6

This place is a certifiable "diamond in the rough". It eliminates having to dig through piles of stuff you would never want without the price markup. The staff was pleasant and knowledgable and it's also for a great cause. I'm afforded the opportunity to thrift all over the country because of my work and this place is top notch. Will definitely be back when I'm on the Lowell area again! read more

Very few antiques, but some cool vintage stuff (LPs, kitsch, shoes, etc) and super friendly woman running the place, plus the sales go to charity, so worth a visit. read more
