Value Village, a Savers brand, is a for-profit, global thrift retailer offering great quality, gently used clothing, accessories, and household goods. Their Rethink Reuse® business model of purchasing, reselling, and recycling gives communities a smart way to shop and keeps more than 700 million pounds of used goods from landfills each year. They also help over 100 nonprofit organizations by purchasing donated goods from them, providing revenue to support their vital community programs and services. Value Village operates over 300 locations with 20,000 employees. Customers generally have a good shopping experience, appreciating the large store size and helpful, polite staff. However, some feel the pricing is too high, with used items costing as much or more than new products from other stores. While the selection is impressive, with a wide range of affordable clothing, movies, games, electronics, and toys, the lack of changing rooms is a minor inconvenience. Overall, Value Village provides a valuable thrifting experience, though some customers believe the pricing structure could be improved.
