Opportunity Village – Thrift Store

This is a huge place just north of Arizona Charlie’s on Decatur. We were looking at some great vinyl records and some furniture plus items for my husband’s found object sculptures. I was surprised at some prices but most were pretty average. We bought two night stands we needed for a reasonable price. Most furniture to me looked good and clean but overpriced. They have lots of Christmas décor, clothes and the usual kitchen ware.
Staff were helpful and we definitely will cruise on by again.

Always found good stuff here to buy sometimes at a great deal but sometimes at a tad bid pricey but it’s all for a good cause

This was one of my favorite stores, until they just kicked me and my service dog out. He’s been in a half dozen times and the woman who kicked us out looked very familiar, so i feel certain she has seen us before. I can’t imagine why it happened. He wasn’t making noise or bothering anyone, and we’d been there for an hour already. Extremely rude. And really sad, too.

The best thrift store to find furniture in town. AMAZING come ups. Always good quality, clean, and smell free. They have high standards and it makes it easy to shop. I furnished a good portion of my house here and I spent probably about $ 250 over all on a couch, dining table, coffee table and some accent chairs.

Clothing, furniture, books, and… discount pharmacy products? Hold up.
The clothing and furniture selection are about what you expect from a nonprofit thrift store: older items with reasonable prices, selection can be a bit dicey but there are some treasures to be found.
Book nook was a delightful surprise! Tons of Target Picks and Oprah’s Book Club features, in paperback and hardback, lots of relatively-​current fiction from the 2000s and the obligatory section of 60s-​90s self-​help and health tomes. But the condition of the books, pricing, and women’s fiction was better (and less dated) than some of the so-​called «used bookstores» in this area.
And now for the pharmacy products, which weirded me out. There is a large selection of generic medications, first aid basics, and diabetic supplies in a section to the right of the entrance. I have no clue who their supplier is or why these items are in a thrift store.
Other odds and ends include costume jewelry in the display case by the register– some new pieces mixed in at good prices.
There are spinning racks of greeting cards, 2/​$ 1, that are a mix of bizarre vintage styles and modern/​current birthday, anniversary, congratulation, and thank you notes.
Staff is polite and volunteers are welcome!

It seems this is the spot if you are looking for home décor as the majority of the store is furniture, decorations, paintings, lamps, etc. Some of it is overpriced for used, but some were actually a good price. I saw some cool accent chairs and comfy looking recliners for $ 50.
This thrift store also has a solid selection of books! Lots of good titles and paper backs were 75cents and hardbacks were $ 1.50 which is much lower than almost all the other thrift shops.
I was looking for décor, vases, bottles and the like for my wedding and I unfortunately striked out on that aspect, but the quality of stuff to dig through is there so I definitely will be returning.

Love going here and in the past they’ve had good prices. Over the last few weeks their prices on some clothing doubled and tripled. The value to shopping here is quickly going away. EXAMPLE: Used Kirkland (Costco) Men’s dress shirt was priced at Opportunity Village for $ 15.99, it’s new at Costco for $ 17.99. Walked away from 5 shirts that were priced from $ 10-​$ 15. There are other thrift stores in town that have better prices.

The 5 stars are for the two really great visits I had here. Found women’s clothing that hasn’t yet caught the eye of certain thrifting experts. Very large, organized and I think they support and provide jobs to their local community.

The shop is ok. I have been to cheaper ones in las vegas. There is one employee, black lady, who is the rudest human being I have ever met in my entire life working there. I am 59 yr, female. I was being waited on just before my mother, who is 87. This lady kept repeating «I hate waiting on old people» Over and over again. I was very happy, and smiled at her, and told her. I hope she has a good day. I was not slow at all, nor was I old, I am guessing around her age. When my mom was putting her things on the counter, this lady continued to repeat her saying to my mom. I immediately insisted to my mother, to leave the things on the counter. We were leaving.
We left the store and will never return to this place.
Always Smile. Life is to short, not to be happy.

I can usually find something amazing here, the store is really spacious and organized.

Great thrift store! Good prices and GREAT selection, especially of home furnishings. Everything is very clean, which is rare. The people are helpful, and the prices not too bad. Overall I’d suggest stopping by for a look.

Large, clean, well stocked thrift store with great selection. Found everything from nice suits to books to a tactical belt here. Lately they’ve had a strong selection of garden tools, supplies, and pottery (last week they had some cool fire pits). I also miss the old store, with its run down little maze of rooms — but it’s not coming back, so enjoy the new one.

I’m happy Opportunity Village has a new store, but I really miss the charm of the old store. It was cool to wander the store, turn the corner and find a whole new section of treasures.
So this new store is just that, a store. A big wide open store. The selection doesn’t seem to be there either. But, I can’t judge just one day. It’s a thrift shop, it’s hit or miss.
We did find an amazing velvet wolf painting for my friend.
Better luck next time…

We went with my mom on a quick shopping trip. All three of us were surprised at the size of the location and the variety of items. They really do have a lot going on here.
There is a very large furniture section on one side and clothing on the other. One thing that could use improvement is the sorting and marking of clothing categories.
We were there looking specifically for girls’ shorts for my niece — we didn’t find much, but I think it was mainly due to most of the childrens clothing being all mixed together in one section.
Aside from that, the staff is friendly, the space is open and doesn’t feel too cramped like a lot of other thrift stores do, and we left feeling good about our shopping experience.

I freaking LOVE this place. Like LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I’m a sucker for second had items, especially if they are of good quality. Most places I go to have some good finds, but you really have to take your time in there and look through piles of items that’s worth keeping.
At Opportunity Village, I was able to see some wonderful pieces as far as vintage furniture, clothes, books, centerpieces, lamps, kitchen, dinner, and pieces. My favorite was the furniture. It’s was either vintage pieces I came across or contemporary pieces with some artistic edge. It was just so entertaining to be able to look at these nice finds. Obviously I didn’t buy any since they were all just too big to carry home alone, and it does take careful planning, but I did manage to snag some vintage and original hardback books of a few classics like Sherlock Holmes, Oliver Twist, and Mysterious Island for $ 1.99!!! So I bought 5 books.
Also, they have a nice gallery section dedicated to artwork. I’m not entirely sure if it’s second hand owned art pieces or local artist’s pieces, but it’s cool either way to know that a nice thrift store like Opportunity Village features GREAT quality furniture, artwork, and such! I’ll be back soon. FOR SURE!
