Unique Thrift Store Inc

This place is closed now. I went to drive there today and could not find it so I found the address and the plave was empty :(

The place was full of great clothes, great prices, and awesome things. I live in the area and i am an avid thrift– shopper.
While buying a jacket, hat, and shirt, the people working the counter were nice and funny. I have only one complaint that can’t be changed by the staff.
In the parking lot me and my friends were pestered by a homeless man who would not leave us alone. In the future just ignore homeless people if they become aggressive in asking for money they will try to take all of your money that they see

This place is close to me so that makes it one of my favorites for that reason.
But besides that factor, I think it is a bit of an awesome hidden treasure. A thrift store in St Louis that not many have visited nor know about.
Like many to ALL other thrift stores, one must walk through the store doors calm, patient and in the zone. If you are not in a good calm mood then steer clear of the thrifting world because it can be nuts-​o and I don’t want to be around you! I like this place because I walk in, do my thing, stroll the aisles and check out.
I frequent here about once a week. Keep your eyes out for half off day sales that they usually have advertised! Also, it is always 25% off on Fridays if you sign up for their VIP card! Done and done.
This place is well organized and well kept. The staff are not the nicest, but they are just trying to get a paycheck like the rest of us. The only reason that I am giving this place a 4 out of 5 is because some of the price tags ($ 6.99 for shoes) are a little high for my liking. I tend to just check out the stock and then come back for a sale day. Also, I checked out there one time, got all the way home (10 minutes) and then realized that the cashier didn’t bag an item that I purchased. Huffed and puffed about the fact that it was something I paid about a dollar for, but I still wanted it. So I drove back and got it. It was a neon yellow Cardinals fanny pack… I needed it!
On second thought, maybe you should stick to the Goodwill’s and DAV’s in the world and leave this hidden gem to me! ;)

Seriously I love this place. It is an old IGA Store. But everything is such great condition. Blue Jeans, VCRs and TVs. And so dirt cheap. Want good stuff, come look here. This is a national chain and this store is the only one in Missouri.

I always find great stuff here. Tuesdays everything is 25% off, and same on Fridays but only if you have a customer appreciation card (to get one you have to ask for it on any day but Friday). With 25% off prices of their merchandise are very reasonable. My only complaint would be with the staff. OMG, attituuuuuuuuude. They all act like they are doing you a FAVOR by LETTING you shop there. Seriously. And they play profane rap music over the loud speakers. So, you know, that’s awesome when I’m shopping there with my kids. But seriously, they suck hardcore in the customer service department.

I almost broke my neck I got so excited when I drove past this place. Most people who like thrift stores are, well, «unique», so this used-​junk-​heaven is aptly named.
If you hate thrift stores, you will still hate this place, so don’t get me wrong. It’s still a freaking thrift store, snobs. But for thrift store lovers, you’re welcome for this review and subsequent discovery of one of the greatest thrifting experiences to hit the Saint Louis metro area since the Smith 3 family garage sale of 1993.
What struck me about Unique is how clean it was. The flooring was carpet (not that gross white grocery-​store-​flooring most thrift stores have). The rows were wide enough that you didn’t have to spoon someone just to get around them. And the racks were not overcrowded and were very well organized. And the piece de resistance? The plus-​size clothing was located next to the XL clothing, NOT next to the maternity clothing like it is in every other store. I’m fat, not pregnant. Thanks for noticing, Unique.
Everything here was higher quality and in good shape. Do you need shoes? Then you need Unique (if you’re reading this right now and thinking, gross, who would buy used shoes, then yeah, stop reading this review right now and go to Nordstrom Rack and leave me alone).
Lots of great finds, including furniture, musical instruments, and an exorbitant amount of lawn equipment (maybe it’s just that time of year when people surrender their garden hoses and weed whackers to make room for plastic snowmen that light up). Competitive pricing. And the stuff isn’t just thrown on the shelves. Everything is neatly placed and conveniently priced.
The staff was a little meh, the store was a little crowded, and the single dressing room had a 3 item/​5 minute limit (it takes us fat chicks for-​eh-​ver to try on fat jeans), but other than that, A++.
Sorry, Value Village. We’re through. Didn’t you get my text?
