Value Village, a Savers brand, is a global thrift retailer that offers gently used clothing, accessories, and household goods. The store follows the Rethink Reuse® model, purchasing, reselling, and recycling items to help communities and reduce waste, keeping over 700 million pounds of used goods out of landfills each year. It supports more than 100 nonprofit organizations by buying donated goods, providing revenue to fund community programs. With over 300 locations and 20,000 employees, the business operates in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Quebec under various brand names. Customers appreciate the great selection, especially at certain times when they find what they need. Seniors day on Wednesdays offers 20% off, though the store can be crowded. The self-checkout is helpful but sometimes busy, leading to longer lines. The store's changing structure and pricing have made some feel it is more profit-driven, with fewer discounts and less sales. Thrifting here is fun with friends, and there are interesting items like trophies and wedding dresses, though the overall selection can be hit or miss, especially in furniture.
