Editor's Review
Thrift Town in Albuquerque, NM, has established itself as a family-owned treasure trove since 1992. With an overall rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars, it’s clear that many customers appreciate the variety and affordability of its offerings. As one satisfied customer, Candi Chavez, shared, 'I had the best time yesterday, shopping with 3 of our Granddaughters. We spent several hours on a literal treasure hunt for clothes and fun collectibles.'
The store boasts over 4,000 new items daily, which keeps the inventory fresh and exciting. Shoppers can find trendy apparel and unique home goods at prices that, according to Robert Houtman, are "more reasonable" compared to larger thrift stores like Savers. He even scored a $130 Express blazer for just $6!
However, not all reviews are glowing. Some customers, like Heidi Olsen, feel that the store has lost its charm after a recent remodel, describing it as "soulless" and noting a change in the overall atmosphere. It seems that while many enjoy the new organization and cleanliness, others miss the character of the original store.

I've shopped at Thrift Town for a few years and the selection of thrift items is quite vast. The employees of this establishment are very helpful, with a big shout out for an employee named Archie, who is very kind and extremely helpful.
I agree with other reviews the "new" thrift town is soulless. Dark, no interesting clothes and an armed security guard months ago when I entered. Why does everything go down hill? I won't donate to a store this sad. The only good thing, you can still...
