Omg what an amazing hidden gem. Had the pleasure of stumbling upon this beautiful store today and I…read morecould not be happier. When you walk in not only is the store immaculate it is so well organized / categorized and color coordinated. It does not look or fe el like a typical consignment store. You walk in and the energy is so positive and uplifting and it's like you are walking into an upscale boutique. I wouldn't be surprised if you walk around with your jaw on the ground with how basically brand new these clothes are but the prices are amazing as well. And on top of that everything was 50% off the ticketed price. The owner is extremely friendly and welcoming I'm sure it won't be long before she gets tired of seeing my face because I just found my new favorite store for 2018.

Nice selection of thrift store clothing that is in good shape. I think they are selective about…read morewhat they accept. I find the quality and prices very good AND it's a registered charity; part of the Big Sisters/Brothers organization so proceeds are going to an excellent cause. They now have a small housewares section but don't have room for big items like furniture. I do make sure this place is on my list when I'm on the hunt for something. Ample free parking and close to other shopping on Merivale.

Thrive Select Thrift Store is a thrift store that sells clothing and accessories, and 100% of their…read moreprofits go to support Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ottawa. I like that the impacts of donations and purchases stay local. And organizations that help kids always have my support. The clothing at Thrive appears to be geared towards youth and so skews on the younger side, in my opinion. The racks are filled with brands like Old Navy, Garage, and Ardene. Prices are cheaper than places like Value Village. They had some new items like Funko Pops and Squishmallows, while I was there, but I guess these depend on donations, perhaps these were from a business (?) They also had some used video games and controllers. They also have (new) Big Brothers and Big Sisters merchandise. Staff are friendly. I believe that many of them are volunteers. They are located in the Emerald Plaza. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

Great little shop and the avid bargain shoppers regular go to spot to buy anything from clothes,…read moreshoes, books, toys, stationary supplies, movies and more. You never know what you will find with different products arriving everyday. Regular specials on already very reasonably priced merchandise. The store is run by all volunteers and all the proceeds go to the Arnprior hospital. Downfalls would be the hours. Would be more convenient if opened past 4 and would be great to have a debit machine but be it run by volunteers and the low cost of items I hardly mind taking an extra 3 mins to hit the bank before I go.

Great thrift shop. Nicely organized, and the prices are great compared to thrift store prices in…read moreOttawa! I got a few toy trucks and kids clothing items. Only reason I didn't give it five stars is that I found the jewellery prices varied - but I've never priced jewellery, so I'm far from an expert! I look forward to dropping in for a browse whenever I'm out in the area.

It was uber cold so I picked up a pair of mackage gloves where I can text and use my phone. So helpful! Great staff, and the mirror and dressing room reminds me of a tailor or a seamtress's with the multi dimensional mirrors. Feels cozy and friendly.

I couldn't help but admire all of the interior decor and wished I could make my house look as good as the store! Last year Angie and Amanda were so helpful in helping me special order a very limited and unique jewellery piece. I get compliments on it all of the time. Without their outstanding service, I would not have gotten it! I loved their store so much I wanted to write a blog post on them!

Everything from clothing to furniture to books to dishes. Prices, as you might expect, are excellent and a real plus to anyone living on a reduced income, but also just a great store to browse in anyway to find something that can find a second life somewhere else.
