Bryn Athyn Thrift Shop

Cute little place. I had someone show me about it. They dont have to many clothes but have a bunch if other items. Great prices as well

What a jewel this shop is, from the rustic décor to the helpful staff. Prices are moderate and merchandise is eclectic, you really need to check out the furniture department, some real finds there! We go there often and walk away with some of the most unique items.

I found some good steals and they are priced cheap/​reasonably. I was only disappointed with the size. Yes it is two stories but I really had the impression it was going to be a lot bigger. I guess I am always on the hunt for some good vintage pieces at a steal and thought this may be a place to swipe some. Nevertheless I did like it and the staff were nice.

Bryn Athyn Thrift Shop, or «BATS» as they refer to it, is a decently sized store located off the highway in a scenic farm-​like area near Bryn Athen College. The building itself was a barn at one point.
Compared to other thrift shops, BATS is the cheapest by far for just about everything. Their selection of books and kitchenware is impressive, and they even carry a decent amount of children’s toys, something most thrift shops neglect. The upstairs level is dedicated mostly to a smaller selection clothing and electronics. Nearly every visit I find myself going home with something!

sooo awesome!

I don’t live close by but BATS is near my dentist. So I always look forward to my dentist appointments. It’s not a place where you drive by and find since It’s tucked away in a barn near an elementary school. But as an avid thrift store shopper, it’s totally worth the $$ and time to look this place up and pay a visit. The only downside is that they do not accept credit cards. Cash or check ONLY. My favorites are the household items, clothes are a bit weak. But awesome furniture selection, however small. Book selection is one of the best! so Have fun and just DIG IN!

I think it’s a good place for a thrifter. The staff didn’t seem to friendly and helpful to me. They weren’t really available for help either. You had to go and seek one out behind a junk pile somewhere. My wife loved it, though!

This is a really top-​notch thrift store, among the best I’ve visited anywhere in the U.S. It’s two stories tall.
This store is better in some categories than others. The selection of dishes, silverware, other kitchenware, and other durable goods is outstanding. The clothing selection is decent, although I think it lags behind the offerings in the rest of the store. There’s some decent furniture too.
Turnover is relatively high, although, since Bryn Athyn is a bit of a closed community, there are certain items that seem to cycle in and out, and if you keep coming back, you may be surprised to see an item reappear that you saw here, and if you get to know people around town you may see items appear in the store that were in people’s homes, or vice versa. I find this highly amusing.
Also interesting in that this is one of the few commercial (if it could be called commercial) establishments in the city limits of Bryn Athyn.
I think that this store is an asset not only to the community of Bryn Athyn but the surrounding suburbs as well.

Located in a restored barn in suburban Bryn Athyn, the Bryn Athyn Thrift Shop has incredible bargains on all sorts of things: clothing, paintings, dishes, furniture, etc. Although the selection is more limited than at some bigger thrift shops, the prices can’t be beat, and they’re constantly getting new things. I got the couch that now sits in my living room for $ 10 here.
Add to that the friendly employees and the charming location, and you’ve got one of the best shopping experiences around.
