New Value Village location in South Granville reveals official opening date

Oct 28 2022, 10:00 pm

One of the most popular thrift stores in Canada is about to open at a central location in Vancouver.

Daily Hive first broke the news of the new Value Village setting up shop at 2354 Granville Street back in June 2022.

Now, the South Granville Business Improvement Association has confirmed the opening date for its new Value Village Boutique – November 10, 2022.

Close to the 99 bus stop and easily accessible from downtown via bus, the central location will become even more connected once the Broadway Subway line construction wraps up, as the forthcoming Granville Station will be just two blocks away.

The location was formerly an Urban Barn.

In the last year, Value Village also recently opened a new location in Port Coquitlam.

The new addition to the thrift scene is welcome after the Hastings Street location burned down earlier this year.

The for-profit thrift store retailer has come under fire in Canada recently after people called them out for their over-priced products.

In Alberta, people had sticker shock seeing used mason jars going for $15. A TikToker from Vancouver also called out the store for overpricing items that come from the dollar store.

There’s even a Change.org petition with almost 6,000 signatures claiming that “Value Village has gotten way out of hand with their pricing.”

Still, the thrill of the hunt is exciting. One Canadian even managed to find a purse worth almost $2,000 for just $3!
