Review from Laura G.

I am quite happy with this Arc store and here is why.
1. It's clean and that is important!
2. The prices are fair bordering on downright cheap. That's why you are shopping there, right?
3. The selection is varied and the pieces don't suck. Even though you are on a cheap shopping trip, you don't want your haul to look cheap.
4. You know that thrift shopping can be a crap-shoot but at least here you have plenty of options so you don't walk out empty handed. -

When having to escort family around thrift stores so they can find that perfect pair of shoes, Arc is not a bad place to go. The store is clean and well lit. They have a ton of stuff in a small place. It's a little bit clutter-y, but not so bad that you want to run away screaming in fear that all that stuff will come crashing down if you touch something.
Ahem. This is a nice place to get clothes, especially for little kids. On one visit, we got a mountain of clothes for $30. Most recently, I got a few outfits for each of my kids for the fraction of the price if they were new. But they looked like new, which is an added bonus! I got a little hat from the Denver Zoo for my daughter for around $2. It is totally something I would have bought there for 5x that amount. And I got her a cute little dress. It probably would have been $20 new, and I got it for $4. Nice.Listed in: Stores

This location has the standard massive selection of women's clothing and a larger than normal area for men's clothing. The men's clothing here seemed to be superior to that of the Broomfield ARC. Of course, that could change at anytime - so it's always worth checking several out if you're looking for something specific. In our case we were hunting down a sport jacket and found a great one here.
This store seems more focused on clothing rather than housewares but there are a few aisles with dishes, cups, and other kitchen good and home decorations. -

I stopped going to the bigger thrift stores in the metro area because everything was picked over and it was mostly junkity- junk.
On a whim, I stopped at this Arc and found a treasure trunk (literally.) Lots of good dishes, knicknacs and home accessories. I found a lovely iridescent pearl lamp. Overall, I found a better selection here than I have found at other Arcs. Is it the burbs? Maybe.
The furniture room was decent; not great; not bad. The manager was nice and the pricing right.
Yes, I could have waited until a Saturday, but then you just fight the crowds and that just makes me grumpy with shopping-basket road rage (not pretty.)
A lot of fun; dangerous on the wallet even with discounted prices. I'm one of those crazy ladies with a full basket. Stand back!Listed in: Do you really want to be…

I FREAKING LOVE THIS STORE.
Granted, I can't compare it to other Arc's in the area because this is the only one I've ever been to, but it is absolutely amazing.
Fantastic items that I have purchased from Arc in the past 3 months:
K2 Snowboard in great condition: $5
Women's snowboarding boots: $5
Oh-so-comfy couch in mint condition: $10
Bright gold dress (for Halloween costume): $4
Printer (with ink!): $6
Beautifully decorated steel fire pit: $10
Oh, I could go on all day. I dare you to go into this place and not find something you want for dirt cheap. I swear that we furnished the majority of our house with stuff from Arc for under $50.
Go on Saturday- you'll have to deal with a crowd of bargain hunters, but most things are 50% off (depending on the tag's color). For the love of god and everything holy, just go!Listed in: Welcome to my hood.

Let me make this clear from the get-go...I am not a thrift-store person. I don't like crowds or clutter, and when I go shopping I like to be in and out as quickly as possible.
Today I decided to go "shopping" here. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted....maybe a tank top or two, and some bermuda shorts. I ended up leaving with a saucepan ($5), a Bundt pan ($2), and two skirts ($4 and $3). Not too shabby. The idea of wearing a tank top that may have touched someone else's woman parts was a little too weird for me.
The majority of the clientele were older folks or other bargain-hunters. I saw nobody else under the age of 30. There is a good selection of dishware and trinkets, baby stuff, furniture, and (of course) clothes. The clothes were arranged by size, but that could be misleading at times because Juniors' sizes were mixed in with regular sizes, but it all worked out. -

I am a thrift store fan. Part of the experience is browsing through a few crappy things, and finding great treasures. This place has its share of crappy stuff, but also a few decent things. Lots of knick knacks. Dirty and broken stuff can be found on almost every shelf. Good collection of Halloween clothing. Not an amazing selection of other clothing. Waaaaay more pricey than other thrift stores. We're talking ridiculously overpriced. You will spend more than you should if you buy something there. Usually too crowded for my liking.
One time I spotted a platter there that I liked. They were selling it for $10. First of all, that's too expensive for an old thrift store platter. Second of all, the original price tag was still on the back of the platter: $5!! Boo, not cool. -

thrift stores creep me out. it's a germ thing. plus, i am too chubby to fit into sizes of the past and not being able to squeeze into a size 14 from the 70s is depressing.
but, i have found KILLER plastic jewelry that looks like bakelite at the one off broadway.
if i wasn't such a heifer and could fit into the clothes, then maybe i would have given this place 4 stars. -

it's not half the store the south broadway or colfax stores are, but it's still a great time for digging. sometimes these suburban outposts are even more intresting than their urban counterparts because they haven't been picked apart by the vulture-like hipsters in search of that seagully '80s op shirt. and there's also the fact that people in the suburbs just buy (and give away) some of the most zany shit.
