I've been shopping here for a quite a few years now, including at their former downtown location. The owner and her staff have done an amazing job making the space feel like a welcoming treasure hunt. They always happy to offer suggestions if needed or allow you to browse on your own. Since everything here is one of a kind, I have my best luck when I'm not looking for something specific. The price range is extensive - you can find regular priced dresses for $50 but they also sell some luxury designer items for $1000+. Truly something for everyone. If you're looking for a deal, I recommend keeping an eye on their social media and looking out for their blowout sales.

They have a lot of vintage designer shoes and clothing, fur coats, wedding dresses, just so much good stuff. Do yourself a favour and look in the drawers and bowls to find even more stuff.

My favourite purchase from there is still 80s cowbow boots that I get compliments on every time I wear them. I love the owner Angela, she is really open about where she does her collecting and is a super interesting lady. A chat with her and a gander in Swish always a treat.

Well known clothing brands can creep up to what the sale price would have been when the items were new and there is a lot of junk in the household area at high prices.

The household area is pretty disorganized, particularly the larger items in the far back corner but otherwise the store is clean and open.

It's easy to access as its right on 111 Ave but I think you can only access the store and adjoining parking lot by driving westbound on 111 Ave. The store is moderately sized. Clean and organized for the most part. They have your typical selection of goods separated in different parts of the store. Clothing, shoes, purses/bags, household items, home decor, kids/baby clothing & toys, books, CDs and other miscellaneous goods, plus a whole section in the back with what I assume are clean, inspected & wrapped mattresses for sale. I find the prices reasonable (way better than Value Village). I scored a like new huge fleece blanket with plastic backing that folds up into a convenient roll with a handle for $6.99 plus a leather portable computer case for $3.99 and a book for 99 cents

This store is very quaint, family-ran, and the prices (on almost everything) are waaay lower than at a "big name" second hand store. It's pretty crowded in the store, you do spend a good portion of your time either in someone's way or with someone in your way lol, but the adorable lady that runs it is soooo nice. There's usually a few FREE items outside on the sidewalk (weather permitting) as well. Not a huge selection of clothes, the majority of the clothes they have are either for toddlers or older generations, they've got a fairly extensive Linens/Fabric/Sewing Misc. section, and LOTS of household-y stuff, mostly Kitchen related. Big selection of picture frames as well.

There is parking in the streets to the side of this place but it is on a busy main road. Inside its full of knick knacks. I'm more of a vintage clothing shopper but this was a fun place to look around. Some highlights were star wars toys, a wall of records, weird pipes, lots of artwork, and a coco cola collection. I found a corner with iron on patches which was a delight and I bought a few of those. It was fun to look around and it's all wheelchair accessible too!

You definitely need time to kill and openness to see something you might like. My parents and I have been here a few times. At first my mom was skeptical but now she gets excited to go. We've gotten a variety of clothes, toys, stationary, and household items. With some persistence and luck, you can find some pretty awesome brand names. I've seen brands like Nike, Adidas, Bench, Helly Hansen, North Face, Victoria Secret, Zara, True Religion, as well as brands from Aritzia and Anthropologie. I've also found some great Paw Patrol, Fisher Price, Leap Frog and Disney toys here. Items vary in condition from like new to very worn out. In general I have found most of the items to be visibly clean and without any bad odors. The other thrifters can get quite focused and somewhat aggressive when it comes to being first to pick from the newly stocked bins. The staff roll the bins in from the stockroom and into these allotted "parking"' spaces in the main room. You can gather around the newly brought in bins but the staff will indicate when you are able to dig into the items. Until you hear the go ahead, you are definitely not allowed to touch. After the initial rush, most shoppers abandon the bins and you are free to go through the bins at your leisure. You learn quickly where the new bins are coming in. It's pretty obvious when you see a group of people gathered around an empty space or full bin ready to pounce. They have large metal shopping carts but you are to leave these at the perimeter of the store. You are not allowed to bring these alongside of the bins. It makes me nervous to leave my treasures unattended on the sides of the store. They also have smaller black plastic shopping baskets on wheels which you can bring with you to the bins. This is definitely a unique thrift shopping experience. I joke it's like one step above dumpster diving. It's also a lot cheaper than going to a regular Goodwill store. When it's time to pay you roll your cart over this scale that's built into the floor. You pay by the pound. The cashier will then tell you what you owe. Don't get nervous because it's really cheap. I've paid $17-$22 for an overflowing basket of items. You can definitely get a big bang for your buck if you know what to get. I recommend bringing a garbage bag or large reusable bag to carry your purchased items home.

The clothing selection is fair and prices are low - especially because there is usually a 50% off sale! I have found great pieces including $1.50 tee, $4 dress, $10 vintage leather unworn ankle boots and more - but the stock fluctuates and because they are a smaller store, you may strike out. It's still fun to look around and enjoy the hunt! The racks are a little too full for my browsing preferences and, on my most recent stop, the store generally seemed a bit more disorganized than usual. I love the creative displays - you can tell they put some effort into making it more than just racks! I also usually experience a lot of warmth from the staff though staff today were not quite as friendly as usual. They have bathrooms available for the public (!) and run with both employees and volunteers. This is the southern-most thrift store that I know of - just south of the Henday off 91st street - so it's easy for some of us to get to and definitely worth a thrift stop!
