Mission Thrift Store Langley

I’ve been to Mission Thrift Store 3 times in the past few months. I’m always so impressed by how well laid out, clean, creatively styled and welcoming this store is. The prices are so good and lower than most thrift stores that I go to. The quality and selection of clothing, accessories, books, shoes, housewares (and more) are always very good. Each time I’ve left with great finds and am surprised by how little it costs. I highly recommend this place!

Had a very weird interaction yesterday. After waiting for my wife to come into the store when the person at the door stopped her, my wife was carrying a piece of cake and so asked if she could come in, the door person literally told her “Do you think this is a restaurant? No you cannot, you are going to make everything dirty”. So we left confused and angered, why would you treat a costumer like this? It was very sad since we go to this thrift store every other day. This happened 15th december around 4pm.

I was very taken back by the treatment I received walking in this second hand store. The person at the door was so rude and unthought in her greeting l! I can not believe that my client was ask to leave her purse at the door. Do they honestly think a woman would leave her pocketbook with cc and phone and other personal items at the door???? Beware you make be treated some kind of way! Oh they did apologize but it didn’t make it feel any better!! I need to add a few details to my previous review. My client who is a 75 year old senior woman was in the store at least 3 minutes waiting for me to join her in the store. The Mickey Mouse purse in question is not a large bag nor is it a back pack. My client was upset to tears from the way the greeter at the door addressed us. When the apology was given my client questioned the greeter: Why didn’t you say anything to me as I stood alone. The greeter responded by saying: I was waiting for your party to join you. Hmmm. Being a woman of color it felt as if I was target of racism. Clearly the BIG BAG policy doesn’t apply to everyone. As my client and I left the store other seniors were not asked to leave there BIG BAGS at the door. Again I stand firm on what happened. It was at my clients request to go the store 40kms away to visit your store where I have taken her once before. No she will not be returning. There was a lovely piano player in the store pictured below and yes that is a BIG BACKPACK aka LARGE BAG inside the store. I am truly sorry about the entire situation. 🥲

My favourite thrift shop by a landslide. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming - the deals are plenty - and it is run by an amazing group of volunteers. The community here is lovely and it is my pleasure to support this thrift shop. Highly recommend shopping here (and you will probably want to inquire about volunteering as well once you meet all the amazing workers).
