Thrift Stores in Renfrew, Scotland

“Lovely wee shop and lovely staff. I reccomend paying a visit! Lots of variety in clothing ranges for very reasonable prices. I love going in to have a nosy and seeing if i can find any bargains, and having a wee chat with the volunteers. The place is well run and generally clean and tidy, and always have some wee gems from the 80s playing on their radio. Everyone is really friendly and helpful so if you're in the area, you should definitely pop in to say hi!”

“Called a different, nearby charity shop in advance to coordinate donations from a house clearing as my Mum had passed. When we arrived the following week, the woman working in that store took one look at the carload of BluRays, clothes, ornaments, household items, etc (much of which was still new and in the packaging!) and refused us, in a very dismissive tone. We explained that we’d been told we could bring it in but she replied “we have enough.” Clearly she didn’t want to be organizing our larger donation on a hot afternoon so I went around the corner to Sue Ryder who were thrilled to accept the donation, helped us bring it in from the car, and even apologized on behalf of other charity shops for the insensitive treatment of us by her neighbours. Clearing out the home of a loved one is very tough and I truly appreciate the kindness and understanding shown to me by Jodie and the other staff who helped us at Sue Ryder.”
