Out Of The Closet

Excellent selection of clothing and some household items. The prices are amazing! The merchandise circulates a lot so you always see different stuff.

We were in town over Thanksgiving and happened to eat next door, so we thought we would check it out. Boy, was this my favorite Black Friday find. The selection was great, the staff was friendly, and the place was so clean! I was mainly looking for clothes, and I wasn’t disappointed. Even a good selection of 2X sizes. We are back in town for family business and I’m looking forward to stopping in again.

This place is amazing
All good things unlike a lot of thrift stores they take pride in there store and the items they sale.
It is a shame the most of the time the older cashier and the female cashier don’t seem to be able to stay focused on the customer they are helping and are more concerned with talking to friends even when you are checking out. The staff is always helpful and very nice but it seems like at least two of the staff use the job more as a social outlet rather than a job… But in all this is the best thrift store around

Out of the Closet is the undisputed king of thrift stores in the Wilton Manors area. There are perhaps 10 thrift/​antique/​junk shops with a 5 mile radius, but OotC is the champ. It’s clean, neatly organized, the staff is very pleasant and often times treasures abound. Clothing is kind of a crap shoot, the sizes tend to skew to smaller sizes but that really just depends on what kind of donations that they get. The furniture and appliances are usually in pretty good condition and reasonably priced. Sometimes there will be a price that’s a head scratcher but that’s the same as any other thrift store. I snagged an almost brand new bread maker that still had it’s plastic stickers for about $ 15 and it works GREAT!
If you’re clothes shopping check the tags, everyday there is a sale denoted by the color of the tag.
It should be noted that there is also a pharmacy and HIV testing service available.

Not as friendly as the other location but still a great thrift store for a great cause. I stop in every few months to both locations. This one has mostly men’s clothing, not a lot for women. But the prices are wonderful & everything is super clean.

Very clean, well organized and a nice selection of thrift store goodies! Not to mention that the business does a lot to help out their community, which makes you feel good when spending money there.

We stopped in here after a meal a few doors down. I’ve always heard good things so I figured why not. It is a nice little set up, set up like most thrift stores I’ve been too. They have a nice amount of anything you’re looking for and for great prices! My sister was able to snag a bunch of things for her kitchen as well as some 75% off Christmas decorations, for under $ 20. Definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys the thrifty lifestyle. They also do free STD and HIV testing so that’s always a plus too, right?

I have donated some Versace jackets. They were removed from the store to sell on Ebay– where they could make more money. I want them to make as much for the cause as they can– that is why they are my number one choice to send things to… and shop.

Always loved this place and it was a trip down memory lane coming here. As. Starving PHD student this was where we came to furnish the apartment. Dropped by on a whim today and managed to score an untouched copy of «Chocolat» for a buck

I go to the store many many times and have always had great service but today was a different story ! The manager (i use that term loosely) named Ricky has NO business being in the public sector ! If i spoke to clients with the nasty queeny attitude he gave me i would be fired. I hope anyone that sees this never has to deal with this man on a face to face basis. I have also reported him to the admin offices.

I love this place… My favorite thrift store, by far… I have been to all of the Out Of The Closets in my Miami and Fort Lauderdale and I truly like this one the best… Every time I leave, there is a smile on my face…

LOVE THIS PLACE! Nice selection, nice spacing, great pricing, everything shelved and neatly displayed, decent selection, and the nicest guys working there! Adorable, humorous, just nice!
The selections did seem heavy handed on the side of clothing. But I found the cheapo towels for which I was looking… and scored a surprise poncho! WOOT!!!

Attitude at a 2^nd-​hand store whose proceeds go to help subsidize a charity. Now, I’ve experienced everything. Yet… They do have good prices and a good selection of just about everything. Ignore their sometimes curt remarks, find yourself good buys. Remember, it all goes to serve a good cause as well.

«I’m gonna pop some tags, only got $ 20 in my pocket, if you wanna shop, this place is f#*^%ing awesome.»
A futon, a couch, a dining table and some cool clothing and accsys, these are a few of my favorite things I’ve purchased here. Went here and got tested, so now at night I sleep well rested. Tip em good. It’s a great service they have.

It was my first time into this location and it was spotless and organized and had a great vibe.
Everything was clean and neatly placed on the hangers. There are more men’s than women’s clothing here but I was with Belle and she loves vintage and thrift.
I got a silk Oscar De La Renta scarf for $ 4.00. How cool! Belle picked up 2 really great dresses!
Simply marvelous!

This store is neat and clean and has a nice selection of furniture and household items as well as CDs, and clothing. I saw a set of records that were in mint condition.
Parking is on the street and you must feed the meter.

Always some good finds here. Especially some great shirts for the club. I found some interesting books too. You can also get an HIV test while you shop. Love this spot.

Good on household items/​furniture at reasonable prices. Parking is a bit of a hassle, although there is a lot across the street with meters.
Also has location at 1785 E. Sunrise Boulevard, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

ONE MAN’S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN’S TRESURE ! I go here once a week to see what I can find. I went to Rome and there was a water color of the Spanish Steps over $ 100 and, i found one here, framed and all for $ 9.99 Wow ! Crystal (French) glasses for $ 1.99 each Some of the clothing still have the original price tag. And best of all you are helping a great cause, you are helping people, IS’NT THAT IMPORTANT?

You are probably better off shopping eBay for used clothing and such other items, but then even if you escape sales tax, you probably get hit with shipping plus never have the chance to actually see what you are getting until you get it. So, second hand thrift shops are a good thing. There are plenty of them in Lauderdale but Out of the Closet (the name is based upon a gay pun in case you missed it) in Wilton Manor is by far the best for clothing to be found in the area. There are actually three Out of the Closet outlets, the one in Wilton Manor, another in Miami (not at all very good… I wouldn’t bother going there) and one under construction on Sunrise in Lauderdale. They are actually a part of AHF Positive Health Care with profits supposedly going back to support HIV Positive undertakings; though I’ve never seen an accounting and are somehow tied in with an adjoining pharmacy and an insurance company, they seem credible and sincere enough to me.
When you walk in, the first couple of rack are of high end clothes, like the A&F, Diesel, Versace and so forth. Then there are about 10 other various rows of clothing all neatly ordered by size, color and design. Everything, unlike that its nearby competitor, Poverello, is kept neat, clean and orderly. You never know what you will find in Out of the Closet, and even if you don’t find what you are looking for, it is always a good time just looking over what they have available.
