I was walking around Kensington neighbourhood and saw this store. I walked in and was immediately…read moreimpressed by the variety of clothing and the abundance of each. I expected that they would only have a limited selection of each. The store is well organized and clean, though it could feel cramped in places. The service was good. There were many customers, but I avoided people in my pictures. After browsing around, I was told there is another floor! Impressive. Even more categories of clothing. There is no free WiFi. The store is not wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-227

The prices are a little higher than what I would normally pay to thrift, but they had some cool items (lots of denim) and friendly staff. I didn't get anything this time, but it's the kind of place you'll want to come back to for a more thorough lay of the land. I had fun sifting through the colorful abundant racks and sometimes, that's all you're looking for in a thrift experience.

Having been in a lot of antique shops, this spot desperately needs an 'organiser', someone to help arrange the aisles, make sense of the stock. A lot of it gets lost, missed due to the clutter. A few people inside makes it difficult to navigate the very tight thin aisles. Looking forward to returning.

Things I regret in life: Not finding out about this store years ago! After randomly passing by…read moreRansack the Universe earlier today while driving down Bloor St, I was able to snag a parking spot close by and make my way here. The store is packed with everything you could think of from old magazines, VHS tapes, vintage clothes (including an OJ Simpson jersey I regret not snagging), CDs, old jewelry, records, and a thousand other little knick-knacks and do-dads you would expect to find at a little antique shop. The store is two levels and features a few different rooms full of stuff to sort through. Sadly, I didn't find anything today that caught my eye but this is definitely the type of store that fills up with new merchandise weekly. I will definitely be making sure to stop in at least once a month to see what new stuff has entered the store!

So yeah, we found tons of awesome things, but they weren't cheap. But I have to say, it's clean, well organized, and the staff are friendly and very helpful. And some of the pieces are so great it's fun just browsing. We didn't end up getting anything, because we are cheapskates, but I still think it's a great shop in a cool neighborhood.

I would rate this store 0 stars, first off this place is not a friendly place for people of color,…read morewhen I was there the security guard was following me around and would not stop looking at me and this store did not have any good clothing, it was hot with no air-conditioning, probably why the employees there were extremely rude, they would be talk to each other and when a customer comes they take there sweet time this is completely unacceptable and like I said If you are a person of color do not shop here please, save yourselves.

Several dressing rooms available that are also kept in great condition. Make sure to sign up for their rewards program as you will earn discounts pretty quickly and get notifications of their upcoming sales.

First time today going here (ever) after couple of gov. imposed lockdowns since it opened around…read morethe same time last year My impression of this store was that it was quiet, organized, the people working there were nice and there were a lot of stuff to choose from. In the aisles, the items were organized based on what they were while the at the ends of the aisles (the side near the clothing) were organized by colour. The prices seemed to be lower than the couple of thrift stores I have been to. They don't calculate taxes on what you are getting so if you spend $5, you will pay $5 which was a shock to me (in a good way). I will probably here many more time in the future. I would totally recommend coming here.

*Rating only for the Donation Centre*…read more The Donation Centre at this Goodwill location is great! This plaza gets pretty busy and parking seemed to be packed but if you're looking for the Donation Centre, it is located on the right side, where there is additional parking. There is also a curbside area with signage directing you to pull up to for drop-offs, there's no need to park. At a glance, the Donation Centre looks to be very clean and organized. There is a large door open on the side of the building for donation drop-offs. We were told to leave our donations in the doorway, and the staff will later retrieve and sort through them. They operate with contactless donations - how convenient! Goodwill works with organizations that provide assistance to those with barriers seeking employment and upgrading their skills. What doesn't get sold in their stores, gets rotated to other locations, to Goodwill outlets, then sent to textile factories to be upcycled and repurposed. If you're looking to donate your items, please support non-profit places like Goodwill, rather than for-profit businesses in the area like Value Village and Talize.
