Value Village

Very packed, came here for my Halloween costume.
My boyfriend is going to be an old lady and I’m going to be an old man. Very pleased with our outfits he found a hideous purple pant suit and I found a pair of pants and a Hawaii shirt and he found a hat that had grey hair attached to it and said 50 on it
All came to 42 $ which I found to be expensive for value village considering its used I could’ve found nice outfits my age group for half that price so I was expecting less but that’s fine I’m happy with my finds

Disappointed.
I find this store empty (specifically the plastic goodie bags)
The furniture area is a mess.
The cashiers were slow slow slow. One walked away and left us waiting another 8 minutes to be served.

This is one of the worst Value Village stores I have been to. The first thing you notice is that it’s laid out bizarrely. The aisles are very tight and they easily get overcrowded. Some sections of the store are very cramped, which makes it difficult to navigate and look at the items. Also, items are scattered everywhere, which makes it even harder to find something. The selection of items is okay, it’s not the best. The staff is all over the place, they seem lost and disorganized. Don’t count on them to help you out effectively. Overall, this store needs a major revamp.

Location is good. Huge store. Halloween is a bit crazy but the seem to handle it well putting on loads of cashiers.

Ohhh how I love the V and V! The bf and I are frequent bargain hunters and we love to stop by Value Village whenever we have some extra cash to spend — it just goes so much further there!
We live closer to the location on Clyde, but the Bank St. location is my favourite. They always have a wider and clothing selection and it’s cleaner and more organized than the Nepean store. They also donate to the Ontario Cerebral Palsy Foundation which is near and dear to us.
That being said, I love all Value Villages for their treasure-​hunting nature, superior customer service and awesome deals. It’s like one giant garage sale every time I go!
I recommend this location for stuff for your home, clothing and shoes.
Not a regular V and V-​er? Start of by checking out their book selction — you’ll be a convert in no time.

This Value Village’s community donation centre is the Canadian Diabetes Association.
This location really does have quite the wide selection of items. It’s quite large, one of the largest I’ve seen, and I find that it actually carries many more items that you are more likely to wear or purchase. The quality of the items seems to be higher — cleaner, newer, and in better shape overall. They also advertise a lot during Halloween, when they carry a lot of costumes.
The prices are inexpensive, as expected. You usually don’t have to do too much digging to find something you like, and you can usually grab really a great vintage or old school item for a wicked price. Even things as simple as belts are easy to find here, which are usually overpriced elsewhere.

This Value Village has some of the best selection that I’ve ever seen compared to other Value Villages I’ve shopped at. I’ve found many great books, movies, framed pictures, a great vintage photo, antique toys, a purse, and lots of clothing. The store is well kept and the employees are often helpful. However, this is a popular store, so it can quickly get picked over.
As a former employee of another Value Village, I have a few tips. The best times to go are weekdays between 9 – 5 when the Production people are putting out new items. The best places to go for clothing are the racks by the dressing rooms, cash registers and in the middle of the aisles, but be mindful of the employee who’s trying to organize the rack or put the clothing out on the sales floor. The weekends, especially Sundays, are the worst times to go. Also, I really don’t think 50% off sales are ever worth going to. The stuff gets picked over so quickly and the dressing rooms are packed with huge line-​ups. Most times, people just end up returning items they buy at these sales on impulse. If you’re looking for the best time of the year to go to VV, show up around December when everyone is shopping elsewhere for Christmas. Halloween is the worst time to go.
