This is part of a chain of thrift stores that has 22 locations across the country including in Florida in Jacksonville, World Thrift in Lake Worth, and this location in North Miami. These stores are for profit thrift stores meaning they are not directly affiliated with any charity. They claim to help charities by purchasing items from them. They are also keeping items out of the landfills and offering low cost items to people who might not otherwise be able to afford them.
The more I visit this chain of thrift stores, the more I love them They are huge, cheap, and have what I like. Everyone else likes them a lot too so the lines can be very long with the longest lines being in the Lake Worth Store. The line here was actually the shortest of all of the stores I have been in. Unlike Lake Lake Worth and Hialeah, they accept credit cards. This is perplexing. Why can't they all accept cards? Also unique to this store is a terrible parking situation. At least they have free parking which is a rarity in Miami but the lot is small and you get stuck if someone is waiting for a spot. I saw some people park across the street at the closed bank. One last thing of note, every few minutes on the loudspeaker they announce that you must not steal in both English and Spanish. I learned something new! How to say you better not shoplift in Spanish. The warning was constant. They must get stolen from a lot. At first I thought it was kind of funny and then it was really annoying. There is a sign that you have to let them hold your purse but no one hassled me about my small cross body bag.
I like that they have a large housewares section. This time I picked up a piece of my grandmothers china pattern for 99 cents and a beautiful glass bowl with a vintage strawberry design for $3. They also have a large selection of clothes, shoes, accessories, books, toys, small appliances, and miscellaneous items. Just make sure whatever you want to buy has a price tag because they won't sell it if it does not. Also all sales are finally so check over everything really well. If you love the adventure of thrifting, you will want to add this chain of stores to your rotation.
