Here are the best thrift and consignment stores in Calgary (MAP)
We love a good thrift find. And as many fellow thrifters know, the hunt for second-hand treasures can be very rewarding!
So, we’ve created our own treasure map of sorts of some of our favourite thrift and consignment stores around Calgary.
Oldies but goodies
Value Village (Southland and Macleod location)

Everyone knows the Value Village name, not only thrifters. But this VV Boutique is absolutely massive. If you’ve been in the Calgary area for a while, you might already know that this building used to house a Safeway but it’s now a preloved paradise. We definitely recommend setting aside at least an hour (if not more) to search through the rows upon rows of beautiful bargains.
Where: 9737 Macleod Trail SW
Goodwill (Plaza location)

This one is another hefty store. It’s not too far from the aforementioned Va-Louis Vuilage so you could easily hit them both in an afternoon.
Where: 9655 Macleod Trail SW
Hidden Gems
Glenmore Thrift Store
This little place is one of our favourites and it deserves some love. This used to be a Sally Ann, but management and the Salvation Army parted ways. The team running this store uses its money to help out a local food bank.
The shop is small and tucked away, but don’t let that deter you. The prices here are always great, something the store prides itself on, and there’s always something there worth finding. Plus, if you bring in a bag of donations (clothes, toys, books, household items, etc.) you will get a $10-off coupon!
Where: 3146 Glenmore Court SE

This one isn’t too hidden, it’s on the main drag in Inglewood. But for those looking for some retro looks, this is the place to be. There are some fun and funky pieces to be found here and it’s absolutely worth popping into.

Kings of Consignment
Trendz
IYKYK. While the prices are a little bit higher than other thrift shops, it’s because there are more luxury finds. If you’re looking for previously loved Lululemon, check this place out. This and the next shop are basically next door to one another, so you can hit easily both in one trip!
Where: 120 10th Street NW
Kensington Konsignment

There are some very fun finds waiting to be snatched up at this second-hand shop. Many items are very gently used and that’s reflected in the prices, but we definitely think it’s worth it. If you’re looking to sell some items, you can check out the website here!
Where: 130 10th Street NW
VSP/VespucciÂ
