    This is the favorite local thrift store of myself and all the friends I've told about it. It's currently open Monday-Saturday, with a different special each day, in addition to a discount color tag. We often drop off donations around the corner at Open House Ministries on our way, as they first give donations to the families living at the shelter. The coffee shop part hasn't reopened since Covid shut it down. They're currently building a new apartment building across the street for families transitioning from homelessness, and the thrift store and bicycle repair shop (currently next door, and also providing job training for shelter residents) will move to the ground floor, presumably sometime early in 2024. Mayhaps the coffee will return...

    Vintage rattan beach ready tote!

    This is my local charity shop and I love it. I prefer to support local charities that benefit the community and that's exactly what they do. You can find great deals here because every day of the week is a different discount (check the website). In these times of overconsumption I find it's so important to shop second hand. I've found some great treasures here and stop by weekly on my walks. The employees are all kind and helpful and so are all the patrons I've met too. Most recently I found the perfect tote for the upcoming swimming season. Thank you for being a great part of our community!

    Best thrift shop around. Great selection, great prices and the employees/volunteers are always helpful and friendly. Have a great coffee drink and a delicious Peanut Butter Cookie while you're shopping the thrift shop, or getting your bike repaired at the bike shop, or browsing in the clothing store. Who doesn't love a great bargain?!

    I absolutely love Retails Thrift Store. The workers are all very kind and helpful. I appreciate…read morethe prices there too as I purchase items and donate them to Northwest Children's Outreach. Recently, management was so kind and donated to NWCO as well. What a blessing. I have family coming to visit and one thing they want to do is go to Retails! Thank you, Retails, for great management, clean store with good prices. I recommend this wonderful store and management. Thank you!

    I would try to visit this store on a weekday day. We went on a Saturday and it was so busy, chaotic…read moreand a bit overwhelming. No staff maning the floor of the store. They just had cashiers with an extrmely long line. It took about 15 mins waiting in line to check out. Certian sections are well orgnized and others are not. It looks a bit dingy and messy in parts of the store. They allow dogs so that is nice and their sales benefit the Humane society which is awesome! We brought our pup. I found a few great nicknacks and a great little bench seat with an embroidered top for $7.99. Needs to be refinished. Really good prices on many things. There were not enough people working and they were kind of unproffesional and unhelpful. They seemed extremely stressed. I wanted to see things in a locked in a case on the floor. I politely asked the clerk about it and she said it will be like a half hour and never looked up at us at all or when checking us out or said anything pleasant or nice. Something for them to work on. Some customers also seem clueless about just standing in the way of others from looking at things and chit chatting for 5 - 10 minutes. It is not a coffee shop people.

The flow of the entrance and exit from the drop-off area works really well since it's in the back of the building. Sometimes you have to wait in line a bit, depending on how much people are dropping off. Only one car can fit in the carport area at a time. Employees are always nice and helpful. As soon as you drive up, a bell rings signaling an employee that you arrived. They come out with a big rolling cart for you to put your donations in. Very easy process. They ask if you want a receipt, then you're on your way! I haven't shopped inside for many years, so I can't speak to the pricing or condition of items. I used to ride the MAX to work in downtown Portland, so I would hit the Goodwill for books to read on the way. They always had a nice selection and prices were great. Overall a great location for donation drop-off. Would definitely recommend!

The jackets being severely overpriced is very sad for people looking for warmth in the winter, but can't even afford goodwill. All the profit going to the ceo. Not goodwill. Just an expensive used store disguised and fooling people and taking over all over.

They had a great selection of nearly everything you can think of. My fear with thrift stores is that things will be junky, and not the case at all at Village Merchants. Everything looked to be in great condition. I also thought their prices were quite fair. I had visited several other thrift stores the day of this visit, and VM were the most fairly priced. The person who rang me out was so friendly! I will absolutely be back to visit again.

    This is one of the most underrated thrift stores in Portland, in my opinion. I have never visited…read moreand not found something wonderful, yet despite their great stock and downtown location, I've also never felt they were overcharging on anything I've gotten from them. I especially appriacte all of the different rooms and outdoor spaces they have. Out front you'll find furniture and clothes on sale, right inside there's a whole room of knick knacks and jewelry, followed by a room of bags and shoes, then one of clothes, an outdoor area that features outdoor and garden goods, a kitchen area, and an upstairs where you can find lamps, children's, and furniture! There is seriously a little bit of everything and it can take a couple rounds through the store to feel confident you haven't missed anything. I highly recommend stopping in!
