Unique Thrift Store

I drove by the Westminster location yesterday & can’t believe that the store closed! So sad! I enjoyed browsing through their store and always found some good quality inexpensive clothes & housewares.

Unique Thrift Store has closed.

This is one of the best thrift store experiences I’ve had! I was really impressed with the amount and the quality of clothes available. I am a young school teacher and try to dress well, as my middle school kids critique my outfit on a daily basis. So, I’ve got important people to please. I picked up several work outfits at a great price and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to come back!

I was really impressed by the amount of great finds and how organized it all was. Even the books are sectioned by genre. On Thursday they offer 25% off for folks who sign up for the discount card. You do not have to give out your email address to obtain a card which is a great thing!

Incredibly crowded! Good prices but more then 10 people in the store and your bumping into one another. Racks are very full almost hard to shop. Nothing like the store in aurora. Think ill stick close to home. Did find a nice pair of boots. Nothing ventured nothing gained :) tomorrow hitting broadway.

Incredible selection, well-​organized presentation, and unbeatable prices. High-​quality, brand names for CHEAP. There was only one item that seemed particularly overpriced – a button-​down blouse for $ 25 (you can buy that new at the store for much less), but that might have been a typo. I found some great blazers for less than $ 5 each. I even received a 25% discount (just because it was a Monday!). Awesome deal! Just wish it was closer to home!

A HUGE selection but the prices are high for a thrift store. Great for back to school shopping though… you are sure to find what you need and that in itself is worth paying a little more than going to ARC or GW and «hoping» to find what you need!

Your typical thrift store with a wide selection of used stuff. This is one of the larger thrift’s I’ve been to.
Just ok, didn’t find any hidden gems today.

Looks can be deceiving. This little gem has some great items! Yes you have to dig but great name brand stuff if you put in the effort. Also they have a 20% program that is free to sign up for. Holiday/​seasonal items are also here.

If I could give this place no stars at all, I would! They suck! Period! The person that prices their merchandise is clueless and OVER prices everything. I’ve been shopping here for at least a year now and I can’t say that I plan to return. I once saw a shirt that still had the price tag attached and they charged the same amount as the suggested retail price (this shirt was a few years old and looked like it had been at the bottom of a box for several years). Stupid! These greedy bastards are after your cash. This is not a place for those of us looking to save a buck by thrifting our wardrobes. You could find the same prices at TJ Maxx, Ross, Target… etc. But at least that stuff is new. Seriously!
And they never have sales or specials of any kind. What’s that crap about?
I recently tried to buy this plain black cotton dress that was really the simplest thing. No frills. Just something I wanted to sleep in, really. But when I took it to the register, it didn’t have a tag. I was told that they couldn’t sell it to me because of that. It would have to be re-​processed and wouldn’t be ready until the next day. Um, okay?!? I asked to speak with a supervisor that looked at me like I was crazy when I explained my frustration with that policy. She took this simple, cheap, Kmart brand dress and came back with a price of $ 7. There was no way I was paying that much for that dress.
I would recommend skipping a visit to this money hungry ‘consignment’ shop. Calling this a ‘thrift store’ is a far stretch when they price with greed in mind.
Avoid it!

I’m new to CO and have never been to a Unique Thrift Store and I have to say I was impressed. I’ve always gone to Goodwill and while living in Boston, smaller thrift stores, but this place was amazing. The best thing is it’s organized, like really truly organized, including prices! I’ve never been to a thrift store so well organized, I usually assume it’ll take me 2 hours to find anything worthwhile. This place is well kept, which made going through it a breeze. They also have a large staff, so if you need assistance, someone is always around — they’ll even bring furniture to your car. The only thing I’d advise is to not go on the weekend — they get insanely busy. And if you don’t like what they have, go back in a few days because their turnover is ridiculous! I wanted a desk, but ended up buying one retail, then both times I’ve been back have found perfect ones!

One of my favorites. True, it’s prone to the same ridiculous pricing that afflicts most thrifts these days (I saw a beaten-​up wheelbarrow for $ 25 last week) but if you shop on the sale days there are some good deals and the occasional screaming bargains. And if you’re a woman who doesn’t wear a size 7 – 7.5 shoe, you’re in luck: I’ve seen some true gems in the under/​over sizes.
Be forewarned that the dressing room situation is pathetic: there are only 2 rooms, and the mirrors are OUTSIDE. That means you have to open the door and model your outfit for everyone else standing in line when you want to see if it fits. (To add insult to injury, the mirrors are distorted, and not in the «oh, I look so skinny and tall!» direction). Wear tight clothes and do a quick try-​on in the aisles instead.

I finally checked this place out after seeing it on countless trips to Harbor Freight for cheap tools. We were on a thrift store tour of sorts in our need to find some attire for Burning Man.
After going to Goodwill, a few ARC stores, and some random Savers and Family thrift stores, I found Unique to be the most organized and have the largest quantity of men’s clothing. Everything was hung neatly on hangers on the racks with clear labeling of what type of clothing was on each. You’d be surprised at how few men’s clothing items you’ll find at most thrift stores and Unique beat them by far.
I don’t know if they have the same sorts of daily «color sales» like ARC does — but the prices were comparable.
In addition to clothing they do have some household items — though not as extensive as ARC. But if you’re looking for clothing — give Unique a chance.

I was in here once about 4 years ago, and never felt the need to go back. Don’t remember the details, but I’ve been right over at Harbor Freight and have never ventured over.
But I’ve been in a thrifting mood, and had to hang out in the area for an hour… this time it was clean, neat, with good space between the aisles, and good prices.
The items on the shelves have breathing room so I can see what’s there.
They use a unique way to hang the pants to make it easier to read the label on the back of the waist.
The same with the books on the shelf, no more craning my neck into cramps trying to read the sideways labels.
I walked out with a pair of pants, a handmade mug, and a book for all for $ 6.

: UPDATE :
I got my phone back! Apparently the thief who snagged it from my half-​open purse later realized it wasn’t an iPhone, just a cheap wanna-​be knockoff in the same style. He must’ve dumped it before leaving the store, because a clerk found it and now I have it back! Happy ending!
I’m bumping up to three stars, because the manager I dealt with was super-​helpful and friendly. That’s props right there. I’m still not loving the quality of the merch or the heftiness of the prices, but good customer service goes a long way with me.

One Star! Thieves are running amok in this shithole. This afternoon, I overheard a woman telling one of the clerks her phone was missing out of her purse. I didn’t think much of it until I got home and realized MINE was missing too! Scumbags. I plan to go back tomorrow to peruse their security footage…
…oh wait. What? Baahahahahahaa! As if they have cameras in this sad-​ass joint.
By the way, their selection is shit. They were trying to sell a battery-​powered kiddie car (the kind that’s big enough to ride in) for $ 20 that wasn’t even running. They guy said, «we guess it works… we take people’s word for it,» but yet they have no return policy. Also, the goods here are so worthless and overpriced I couldn’t even find something worthy of a costume for a Trailer Trash party. Pathetic.

I know that when you walk into a thrift store, it’s not going to be the cleanest place. But when I walked into here, it just seemed really dirty. However, things were neatly organized. I didn’t experience that PURSES MUST BE CHECKED IN thing but since I saw that review that said it, I only brought in my wallet.
I bought some crisp white sheets to create a studio and they were about $ 6 and $ 7 a piece. I was surprised that they had vinyl records there and a little area for jewelry, which had some really cool pieces.
Other than that, I have had more fun looking other places like ARC and Goodwill.
They only have one cash register, which is annoying if there’s a line.

It’s the words on te front door that haunt me the most: «Check in your bags at Register 1.» And I immediately know what type of place I’m in.
I abhor giving my belongings to strangers because «keeping an eye on it» means that as soon as I walk away, they’re throwing my belongings on the ground and ignoring my possessions. All I had was a small bag. I understand that it is to deter potential theft, but I’m sorry. You couldn’t even pay me to steal that junk. You couldn’t even give that junk to me for free. FREE JUNK, and I don’t want it. That’s pretty bad because I’ll take just about anything for free.
Except for STDs. You can keep those, thanks.
The store is big, but the selection is slim. Search HARD, and you may find, which is how most thrift stores are, but DAMN. I guess I’m just not part of the crowd here. I don’t have 10 mouths to feed with another little brat on the way.
Was that mean?
It’s a big store, I’ll give them that, and the prices aren’t too bad, but I probably won’t go back.

HUGE Thrift Store. I roamed in here while waiting for my take out at Yak & Yeti. They had a TON of clothes. I was looking for an elusive round, outdoor cushion (apparently these no longer exist) which I didn’t find, but I did snag a working George Forman grill for a few bucks and an «Xtreme» that I use to cook eggs that is quite handy, also very cheap. Their furniture was pretty much in disrepair, unfortunately. But, there are good deals to be had on clothing & electronics. I will definitely be headed back here.

This place isn’t Unique at all from what I saw. Their prices were comparable to most other thrift stores (Goodwill, Savers, etc.) but the selection was arguably worse. They didn’t really have much and they arrange their pants/​jeans in «S/​M/​L/​XL»… not by number size (like Goodwill) so if you’re going for pants (which I found some that should have been in a different size group anyway), be prepared to have to go through each pair one-​by-​one to find your number size.
Maybe it’s the location – it’s pretty up there – and that’s why there wasn’t much (in my opinion) to choose from because maybe people don’t know it’s there to donate to? I’m not sure, but I probably won’t drive that far north again just to go here.

thrift heaven!!!
