Vancouver Island is a fan of thrift shops (clearly), and fans of thrifting should rejoice in Salvation Army’s brand shop in Langford.

The Salvation Army is finalizing its newest thrift store in Langford, which will open Thursday morning and become the largest of its retail locations on Vancouver Island.

The new store is located at 975 Langford Parkway near Westshore Town Centre and beside Quality Foods. A special ribbon-cutting event and grand opening is scheduled this Thursday at 10 am. The store will be open until 8 pm.

And since its summer, this next item would pair well with your new sneakers — a white sundress from Zara with the original $49.99 price tag still on it. At Salvation Army, it’s priced at $14.99.
