Unique Thrift

Scammers. New ownership has ruined this place. They get their good via donation, pick through the good stuff to sell online then the rest goes on the shelf at nearly retail and sometimes over retail. This place use to be a genuine thrift store. I’ve been to the one on Lorain and lakeshore both before new ownership and after. They should probably just kill themselves…

SAVERS — The owners of this store used to have the best thrift in N.E. Ohio as a «Unique Thrift Store» but when changed it to Savers early 2015 the savings went out the door. Many of the items are priced at or near retail new price. Smart shoppers will use their smart phones to check the price online before buying.
Once upon a time Monday at 7 AM there was a long line of shoppers including myself trying to get the 50% off deals first. Now no pushing and hardly any customers lining up to buy overpriced stuff at the regular thrift price. If the owners of this store are smart they would contact former dedicated customers and ask their opinions rather than try and sell used stuff as new.
Finally the Salvation Army Thrift Store has lower prices than this store making them a better deal especially on Wednesday. We used to laugh at folks who went to the Salvation Army Thrift stores but at this point the laugh is on the dedicated shoppers of this formerly good store.

The only complaint I have about this place is that they put trash in with the household goods. Why would someone pay $ 0.99 for a Cottonelle wipes box? $ 0.99 for a used (foam) coffee cup from Circle K? Also the lack of dressing rooms is an issue. Lots of fun trying on clothes OVER whatever you’re wearing.

I walked in just to see what they had in the store and to check out their prices.
The price seems a little high for what you were buying but still pretty reasonable for most of the things I looked at. I looked through all the T-​shirts because a lot of times I’ll find one or two that I really liked but I didn’t find anything. I looked through the dishes for a decent coffee mug but could not find that either.
All in all the place was okay but really didn’t have a whole lot. Most of it seemed like filler stuff that had been in the store for forever! Everything’s been picked through pretty well already and what’s left is just junk for the most part.
Maybe once spring is here and they have more donations coming in it’ll get better but it was looking pretty tired.

Not sure what makes this place unique? If you like really outdated clothes (think: shoulder pads and appliqué) then this is the place for you. I am the «queen of thrift» and went based on Unilocal recommendations. Completely overrated!

I have been coming to this thrift store since I was born! It is the best thrift store I have ever been to! Its fantastic! The people that run it are so kind. They all know me by name! Every Monday is 50% off day.
They have a very large selection of clothes, and VERY reasonable prices! Last time I was there I picked up a few pairs of pants, a jacket, and an Ohio State tee. And it was only around 4 bucks!

Huge thrift store and super cheap on Mondays everything is 50% off. I went here and spent 20 for 8 different things. There is a lot of junk with any thrift store, but it’s worth it to find the treasures. They put out all the new stuff for the week on tuesdays.

I love this particular Unique! It’s very large, clean, well lit and the prices are very fair. I was impressed by the sheer size of the housewares department. I found a bunch of 80’s collectible Care Bear Pizza Hut glasses for $ 1 each, a couple of super cute plus size dresses and my dude found a couple of tees. The furniture section was pretty nice as well. They had a few really neat mid-​century modern end tables and lamp tables for under $ 15 that I almost snagged, but they wouldn’t have fit in my tiny VW bug. Only downside is that there isn’t a huge selection of vintage clothing, but I’d rather have a great selection of vintage housewares anyway.

This Unique is okay. Their selection is really hit or miss. Also, they don’t sort their stuff by size like the other Unique stores so you can’t just run in if you are looking for say a black sweater in size Medium. It’s a good store to go into if you have time to kill and want to look around. Otherwise, I normally stick to the one out in North Randall.

I had to dress up for a Mega 80’s concert late 2010 and stopped into probably 4 – 5 Goodwill’s /​Thrift stores before the UTS. Let’s just say that Unique was the last place I needed to go. I ended up finding a late 80’s pair of Girbaud jeans and a mesh OP shirt that fit the bill perfectly. The wife even found a jean skirt /​jacket combo that worked out wonderfully for her. I was amazed by the amount of clothes and even the quality. I just hope I get that lucky the next time I stop in.

This particular Unique is probably one of the best. It might be because Lake Countians are afraid of thrifting — so that leaves more of a selection for me.
I love how the clothing is divided by color. It’s pretty helpful when you just want black, black, or black.
I just wish I could find more vintage items here.
Mondays are half off on certain items. It’s always very crowded on those days but if you’re patient, it might be worth dealing with the crowd.

One of the best thrift stores in Cleveland! Low prices, weekly specials, a huge variety, never too crowded.
Merchandise is nicely spaced on racks and divided by style and color, so it’s never hard to find what you want. Prices are reasonable, there is usually at least one day a week that is half off. They do have some upscale items which are more expensive. Store is clean and bright, clothing is in good shape, and stock seems to rotate frequently. I have to be careful not to end up with a huge cartful whenever I go.
Also a good place to find costumes, games & purses. The only downsides are the lack of vintage clothes and they make it hard to donate items by not having a drop off around back (you have to bring stuff into the store itself).
Overall, I think this is the best Unique thrift in C-​town.
