Good Thrift Stores in Denver Metro

[Iamwinkyak]

Hello anyone in Denver metro!

I am still pretty new to Denver Metro area (more specifically, I live in Littleton/Highlands Ranch area.) I haven't really seen or heard of any good thrift stores in Denver Metro area. Would anyone be able to tell me where to find ones? What am I looking for? Pretty much anything that I can reuse in terms of: clothes, arts and crafts, knitting, and sewing.

Thanks and Cheers!
Wendy

Hi Wendy,
I am in the Highlands Ranch area too! I have had luck with the Savers on Littleton Boulevard, east of Santa Fe Drive. They have good sales and have found very wearable clothes there. there is also a childrens resale shop in that area.. can't remember the name though.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

There are so many thrift stores in the Denver metro, it's abosoultely insane. The stuff I find in town compared to other places I have lived is beyond pale.

But it's a collection of thrift store, antique and resale places.

The Denver metro is a thrift store mecca from my point of view. I took a normal laminated map and mapped all the thrift stores, so when I'm out and about I can always swing by a place no matter where I am in town.


My suggestion to you would be to map your home in yahoo maps and then go to the yellow pages icon on that map and search for thrift stores as there is just so many of them. I havn't even started in on all the independent thrift stores.

Good luck

I love the Goodwill at Broadway and Oxford--lots of great stuff there! You can't beat their 50% off sales (these past 2 Saturdays they had them). There's a Once Upon a Child at Bowles and Wadworth that usually has some pretty good stuff. And that other resale shop in Downtown Littleton is called Gumballs. I think it's on Gallup, just south of Littleton Blvd. I personally think it's overpacked and expensive for 2nd hand, but I've heard lots of people say they like it.
