708 Manatee Ave E Building 2, Bradenton“Great used bookstore. Have been going to it for many years. Very friendly and ready-to-help staff. They’ve always kept their prices pretty low, while other stores have upped their’s in recent years.
Always a good selection. Have found some rare gems there. Have probably bought 400 books from them. Highly recommend.”
“My donation was picked this morning promptly at time driver stated. The two individuals Timo and Gilbert where careful, respectful and very efficient. Very professional service throughout the whole process.”
“This is a very nice little thrift store. Everything is neat and clean, and the staff is very friendly. I found some of their items to be a little more than what I was willing to spend, but having said that I DID manage to find a dress at a fantastic price. Everything is discounted on Wednesdays. This is actually two stores with a little cafe separating them. We went to both. We got the dress at one of the shops and some things to decorate the house with at the one that had the furniture. The furniture shop did not have a counter and we saw nobody to give our money to until my husband thought to look out the back door. I think the gal that worked there was outside helping someone else load up. This is a shop that we will be visiting again.”
“This was an amazing store with genuinely unique items. I was very surprised by how big the store was too. The owner (assuming) was incredibly kind and quick to help, all without being an overbearing sales person. The prices are more than reasonable too for how vintage and one of a kind they are. I will be back for sure!”
“This place is incredible.....everything you didn't know you needed under one, air conditioned, roof. Family owned and operated & that friendliness shows through every time you shop here. Worth a visit and your time. Thank me later :)”
“Gilbert and Timo were right on time. Super nice ( super strong), and fast. Could not be happier, wish I had more furniture to donate! Will definately contact them again. Entire experienice was easy, and very professional.”
“Really love this place been there a few times during my breaks off of school, sadly wish they had different hours since I get home too late to head out there... Still really love the crafts I got from there will come back hopefully when I have time again.. SUMMER US COMING UP SOON”
“Delightful thrift store with a pleasant staff. Visited twice during my week in Sarasota and came away with clothes (better brands) and jewelry. So happy I was able to stop here”
“We have seen this place for many years. It wasn’t until recently that we decided to give it a try. My husband and I found this gem of a store and love coming in to see what they have new. The owner is friendly and always make you feel welcome. Now this store is on our list of places to go to buy items at a cheaper price. You won’t be disappointed.”
“I would rate this closer to a 3.5 out of 4…it kind of smelled strange in there which makes me want to leave immediately. With that being said, there are lots and lots of wedding dresses if you are looking for a deal! There was a decent selection of lululemon. Not many great options for designer bags. Overall fair prices and options for men!”
9AM - 7PM
3611 1st St E # 230, Bradenton“Most affordable thrift store I have been to in a good while. Only downside was they didn’t have rugs which I came here for specifically, but I was able to find T-shirts for the Rays and Bucs- so it was still a win. Keeping 5 stars because the rest outweighed that- great prices, only 2-3 dollars for a T-shirt and barely any wait at checkout.”
“Excellent well organized consignment store with proceeds going towards grants to Sarasota arts. Lots of everything including designer clothes, fine and costume jewelry, furniture, and books.”
10AM - 1PM
1503 2nd St, Sarasota“Found a real cashmere scarf for $5. Pretty good find. Clothing was a little sparse the day I went and there seemed to be more for the 40+ crowd which is pretty typical for this area. Definitely worth stopping in because you never know what you might find. Staff was very kind and helpful. Will come by again in a few weeks!”
10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
7426 16th St E, Sarasota“Well organized & clean, found a potential item that had just been put out but not yet priced and the manager gave me a price on the spot that was really good. Minimal parking, park as soon as you get in the driveway. The exit is bumpy and through the back dirt road, don't drive your sports car.”
“I'm not going to give them less than 5 stars but I do have a complaint. I didn't shop there but I went to drop off and after driving 11 miles the sign on their door says we are not taking donations at this time. Just wish the info was available to me before driving there. Lesson learned. I just moved here and tried to find a worthy thrift store to donate to instead of Goodwill or Salvation Army but alas I had to come all the way home and look up the address for another thrift store to donate to. Pretty frustrating.”
“There's a lot to see but they've maximized the space well. If you're in the area it's worth giving it a chance. The employees were very nice and even tried moving around some of what they were organizing to give us more space to look. They also offered suggestions of what sections to check out based on what they saw we liked, which is always appreciated when it's your first time at a store. Great experience overall.”
“There are two locations: 1221 North Orange Avenue - Corner of 12th Street & North Orange Avenue 1038 North Orange Avenue We went to both, and the main one is larger and had better selection especially for furniture & housewares. They seem to have several sales going on at various times, so ask if not sure on final price. Lots of furniture items that are in great shape for a reasonable price. The staff at the larger store was nice, but there seemed to be at least 3 people working, but maybe only 1 register, so I waited while the other two stood around/did other things. The staff at the smaller place across the street was super nice, more people working in the back than out front, but still helpful, more clothes than furniture there but still good prices on everything and sales posted in various places.”

4905 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota“It is more than worth my time to send this positive review for Donna Evans with their White Glove service. Thank you so much for your excellent customer service skills and for being so helpful above and beyond in my opinion. I am grateful it was you I interacted with.”
10AM - 6PM
2280 17th St, Sarasota“Haven’t been here in a while, I originally thought they were closed, but I was happily wrong! This place rules, the prices are great and the service is fantastic. The staff here are nice and helpful, and funny. Highly recommend!”

1935 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota“So easy to drive up & drop your things off. I’ve taken 3 carloads after a recent move. One time it was pouring rain so I was thankful for that overhang. They have great hours, too.”
8AM - 8PM
2150 Whitfield Industrial Way, Sarasota“Finding good stuff is 50/50. Found the cutest boot in my size only to never find its mate. Location is nice and roomy, which means you don’t feel like you’re on top of other shoppers like the North Port bargain barn. And the bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve ever seen in a goodwill- with the premium TP ”
9AM - 8PM
2715 51st Ave E, Bradenton“I love this goodwill!! Prices are a little high but still I find things there that are really in good shape! I found this hat and I had to get it! Only paid $1.99. I love it!!”
“Marie was very sweet and went above and beyond to help me purchase items for a homeless family. Thank you….Goodwill Industries for hiring such a special person!”
9AM - 8PM
8750 State Road 70 E, Bradenton“This was one of the cleanest and most organized Goodwill stores I have been to in awhile. Store is also bigger than most of the ones I shop at.
Picked up a few board games for a reasonable price.
I will definitely be back.”
9AM - 8PM
5150 N Tamiami Trl, Sarasota“One of the best thrift stores around. Lost of quality items. Somewhat higher prices so caveat emptor but lots of bargains. Some new items as well. Snagged The grill, dishes and placemats, crock pot, and everything I wear or sit on in my home from there.”
10AM - 5PM
1757 N East Ave, Sarasota“I picked up a box truck full of cabinets this morning, 12-28-21. There was four gentlemen that helped me load them. I was very appreciative of the help. I can't thank them enough. Nick.K”
9AM - 8PM
1704 N Honore Ave, Sarasota“This Goodwill is one of my favorites. It is clean and they have very nice donations. Definitely a higher end location. The only downfall is that they are sometimes understaffed and the prices are exceptionally high compared to other locations. I have included some videos as an example.
There are still some great deals to be found and I still support this store. It is worth a visit!”
“With prices much better than any corporate resale store this is one of my favorite places to shop! They have quality items at great prices. I'm an enthusiastic shopper yet fussy about what I actually buy but here's always something really interesting and irresistible to "spark joy" at Segunda Vida. Another big plus is that it is one of several vintage shops on that block so if you're interested in household items or clothing or jewelry or furniture it's all right there.”
