Value Village

This location has the worst customer service in the history of all value villages. I will never spend another dime in this place. The deals USED to be good (if you spent a lot of time rummaging through other overpriced crap) but I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the mirror if I continued to support this hole. You can bet I have already found a more charitable organization to frequent — one that I can feel proud about donating my stuff (to) and not be made to feel like chump when I shop there. SMH x INFINITY
P. S. I strongly advise young minorities of color to stay away from this place unless you want to be singled out and mistreated like some thief. Absolutely despicable… this is not an exaggeration & I have documents to back it up. Real thrifters with heart don’t belong in here.

Yes, I did find a treasure. However, I found this particular location very disorganised. Location is quite large and ladies’ blends into the men’s department, sections are broken up, re: continues on the other side for 1 – 2 racks, but becomes another section, and it was quite messy!
Purses were right in front of the windows and this is probably the worst section to put where everyone can see them.
I was checked out by a manager on duty and she was quite rude to me saying something like, «Don’t you know!!!». Maybe she was being a straight-​shooter, but absolutely unnecessary. Rest of staff appeared overworked. Pricing is all over the place. I’m guessing that this location is a bit mismanaged!

Went to this location today. I found it to be so-​so.
Don’t get me wrong, I found some REALLY good deals e.g. $ 9 for Banana Republic dress pants and $ 15 for 4 Reidel wine glasses! These were really great scores.
HOWEVER, the prices for things in general (shoes, clothing, jewellery) is actually fairly high compared to other thrift stores e.g. Salvation Army or Talize. Both these other ones are cheaper with similar general merchandise. I got two blouses for about $ 13 each — these were pretty steeply priced but I liked them enough to get them… grudgingly. At Talize, a full dress would be about $ 12. I saw some Forever21 tops selling for $ 14!
I guess it just means you should be picky and decide if what you’re looking at is really worth the price!

This has been my favourite location ever since I found a used coach purse hidden amongst the treasures.
Other than that, I enjoy perusing through the vast collection of used books. Paperbacks galore! Hands down, one of the best locations. And little dog friendly.

Love this Value Village Location!
Its really huge once you get in they have a huge selection for everything, what i found the most helpful was this past Halloween when they had everything for Halloween. I spent less that 20 $ for two costumes which was great when i wasnt too keen on spending too much for one night.
They also have other great finds just check it out probably one of the largest locations they have!

This is my favourite Value Village in Toronto.
Positive:
The staff is very friendly and helpful. I also find this location to be one of the cleanest, most organized and pleasant overall thrift-​store shopping experience.
This location is also quite large, thus providing greater variety than some other locations.
I have found many fun vintage pieces at this location at a great value!
Negative:
I find more so than other Value Village’s I have to really double check items before I purchase for rips /​stains etc.
Their jewelry section is lack luster in comparison to other Value Village’s.
Overall, much recommended for those that love to thrift!

This VV is great, there are actually less ‘ugly’ items than other VV’s I’ve been to (Hwy 7/​Weston and Steeles/​Dufferin location). Prices are excellent compared to other thrift shops I’ve been to downtown (69 Vintage Collective, VV on Bloor/​Lansdowne, Vintage Depot) but after reading some reviews it seems like VV have really increased their prices over the past few years as more and more cool kids are starting to shop here.
The store is well-​organized according to type of clothing and size. Seriously, who organizes by COLOR, like other stores I’ve seen…
My last trip, I picked up a J. Crew classic fit dress shirt and a cute grandpa-​looking cardigan for about 7 – 8 $ each. I nearly shrieked in excitement when I found the J. Crew shirt. Dramatic, much?

As far as thrift stores go, this one’s a-​ok. It’s clean and well laid out and people aren’t constantly bull charging you with shopping carts in the race to be the first to grab a new $ 2 knickknack. My only knock against this place is that today when I went, they opened a new cashier due to long lines, and one of the cashiers made it her mission to make sure that the guy in front of me got to go through the new cash before I did. I get it lady – I’m willing to wait; no need to cross three lines of thrift traffic to make sure I don’t buy my $ 1 book before the other guy buys his $ 2 jeans.

Ok where else can a girl get 9 pairs of shoes for $ 40???
I like this location in particular as it’s one of the biggest and I can always find great stuff, especially if you are looking for anything vintage.
Best find: a vogue book on Beauty from the 80s for $ 3.

Finally a good Value Village in Toronto! I was becoming discouraged after visiting the VVs in the east end that all the stores in Toronto would be dirty and have a poor selection. But then I visited this beautiful mecca of thrift shopping on Wilson.
The Wilson store is huge, well organized, CLEAN and filled with many like-​new items. On my last trip I scored a gorgeous blazer with wooden buttons, two novels that were on my To-​Read list, and a couple of housewares. I mourned over a gorgeous Simon Chang jacket that was just a little too big.
It is a bit of a trek to reach this store location, but, in my opinion, totally worth the effort.

This place is a goldmine.
If this location were at all closer to downtown, it would probably be just as fruitless as the others have been of late, but I left with so many compliment-​worthy goodies I can’t wait to go back. I’m talking about excellent condition vintage clutches, crinkled silk dresses, flowing patterned button-​up blouses, as well as a few amazing vintage design books and Fargo, all for naught but a few bucks each! I entered, and exited, this store at the same time as a couple of fashionistique lads who also appeared to have scored. As we were complimenting each other on our finds, one of them sighed, «Yes, I’m going to Italy. This is going to be my travelling outfit.» Conversation fit for Yorkville, I tell ya’.
As a bonus, the staff working there are all extremely friendly and sunny — it’s great seeing co-​workers laughing together on the job. Another tip, 20% off for students on Wednesdays.
Wait a minute… perhaps I should have given this place 1 star instead to keep this treasure all to myself, but I couldn’t do that. Though, just to be safe, I just might swing by again tonight before people catch on.
