This was the scene in Pape Village a few weeks ago: the former Bed, Bath & More had a sign in the window. Canadian Thrift Coming Soon.
Then a few days later: the sign went up.Then the Open sign!
I popped in the other night and discovered I knew the owners - go figure! They used to have a shop on Danforth Ave. at Woodbine, across from the Value Village I frequent. Then they sold the biz and moved out to Scarborough, and decided recently to move to my 'hood, good old Pape Village.
I will do a more thorough review of the shop when it officially opens - likely next weekend - as the place is still in the set-up mode and stock is still arriving. But I will say it's not just thrift: they have suppliers in Montreal who provide them with new merch/apparel as well. For the grand opening, which I will do my best to give you a heads up on, they plan on having specials and a whole lot of stock from this supplier.
Sorry, so new I don't have an address yet, but it's Pape Ave. just north of Cosburne on the east side, across from the Value Mart and gas station.
Stay tuned!
Thanks for the heads up! I am in the "hood too (Thorncliffe Park) and I'm thrilled about this new addition. See you there! : )
ReplyDeleteLaura, this new place is at the end of my street and already it's becoming an addiction! Too easy to pop in on my way home! Already have found amazing stuff (which I will post soon)- you need to sift through but they are still in set up mode and new stuff is coming in all the time.
ReplyDeleteThorncliffe Park - if you're a thrifter you must hang at the Goodwill there? It's my absolute fave in the city; always find real gems there!
