Editor's Review

ReStore in Waterbury, VT, is turning heads for all the right reasons. Located in the charming Waterbury Village Historic District, this thrift store isn't just another drop-off point for unwanted stuff. It’s a hidden gem for those looking for both building materials and unique home décor.

Customers rave about the cleanliness and organization of the store. As Larkin Wellborn put it, "Best thrift store in central Vermont!" Cleanliness matters, and it shows here. The friendly staff also gets plenty of shout-outs. Eric Gold highlighted, "Super friendly and helpful staff," showcasing the welcoming vibe that invites customers to return.

People love the fair pricing, too. Brian Cummings pointed out that the pricing is "the same structure as Williston"—a compliment that indicates quality without the sticker shock. Plus, their free pickup service for donations is a huge win. Janette Shaffer's experience with manager Harold exemplifies this: prompt, professional, and hassle-free.

That said, some reviews mention the size of the store. It’s not too big yet, but as it grows, they may face challenges keeping that neatness and organization. Still, the positives clearly outweigh any minor drawbacks. If you’re in central Vermont, ReStore is worth a visit.

Best for: Anyone on the hunt for affordable home goods and a friendly shopping experience.
