America's Thrift Stores & Donation Center

I love this place! I know I can always run in and find something cute quickly. The staff is also super sweet. The prices are much better than Goodwill and other thrift stores.

Consistently the best ATS! Always worth the 7 min detour off I-65.

Love it! The rewards card really helps a lot.
My favorite place to shop. 🙂

Love this place. So neat and everyone is so nice.

I was reading the bad reviews and they were so wrong. The people are so nice and helpful maybe check your own attitude. Everyone has a bad day and maybe you came across an employee that was having a really bad day. Go into Saks and you will find people having a tough day there too! It is a pleasure to go in where people are actually working. Since COVID work ethics have changed but I never see employees on their phones here and there is no way every employee could know what is in a different department. I was looking at photos and it )looked like a lady bought a vaseline vase they normally sell for $150.00 I am fairly confident she didn't pay that. Even if it wasn't the real deal she got a beautiful vase. I have bought some great large artwork from uttermost there and a beautiful beveled mirror and they were very well priced and all were on take an extra 30%off. If you don't like the price just keep on walking. I use the rewards card and my husband kept saying why don't you use your points when the cashier asked if I would like to buy I was saving for something that would hold a meaning. The other day I got a red leather mid century modern chair for our back porch that we enclosed for winter for $.01 now that was a deal. They loaded it for me, I came home sanitized it and I am not sure anyone had ever sat on that chair. It is so cute and comfy. I have had many stores around Birmingham not load things because they don't have enough staff for someone to leave the floor. We think the staff here does a great job and we go by several times a week. Sometimes leave with nothing, sometime with a penny chair.

We shop this store several times a week and nearly always find some kind of treasure. This thrift store is much cleaner than most. The recent expansion turned out nice, once the placement of the aisles and product was figured out.
But one of the reasons this is our favorite thrift are the employees. Everyone is very nice and always ready to help.
My one complaint, seems to be an issue with most of these types of store, is the rise in prices. I understand there are salaries to be paid and I would never want the awesome crew shorted in any way but, I feel sales would increase if prices were set lower, keeping in mind that the majority of stock are used items which are donated.

Love shopping here. Great bargains on new clothes and costume jewelry. Good buys on books too. I come into work and everyone wants to know where I got this or that - I got it from this store. They have cleaned (de-cluttered) it up and it is much easier to find things now.

Hey y'all. It had been a while since I had gone to this gardendale thrift store. I had an appointment out that way and my daughter and I were early so my daughter suggested going to the thrift store out that way. We have the same thrift store near where we live so I said why not. I am a very"seasoned" lol foster parent so I am always hunting bargains for kids. I hand quilt a lot and I search thrift stores for bed sheets to cut up for my quilts. The thrift store had just opened and I went in there and came out with tons of everything. Lol the employees were sooooooo super friendly and respectful. The young lady that waited on me and my daughter was chatting with us and she never missed a beat ringing up our purchases. This thrift store rocks. It was super clean and it did not have a used clothes smell. I love love love it. Thank y'all and keep up the good work.

Gotta love this thrift store 🤗🤗🙏

Very helpful employees!
They opened another register when the other 2 had about 3 or 4 waiting in line! Good job!
SOME STORES I KNOW SURE DON'T DO THAT!! Need I name names???

Love shopping here. I usually fine a bargain. I bought a set of lamps a few months ago for my bedroom that were a steal they were crystal. Just what I needed. You do have to look but that's part of the fun.

Update 10** I am updating my perfect review since I did do a lengthier one for my second favorite thrift store. As I was trying to recall my last experiences there to write a succinct review, I was reminded of just how much joy I receive shopping there. I’ve always been partial to thrift stores, as in I can get lost in one for a hole Saturday with ease. The selection here at Gardendale is by far the best Birmingham and arguably Alabama has to offer.
Here’s to you, America’s thrift ~~Gardendale

Was able to find 2 rugs for my bedroom floor and a few other things. Staff was very nice too during check out. Very satisfied with experience today.

Friendly and very patient staff! One-of-a-kind with all their selections! Best or in top 3 for sure; in our Area!

I ran in on my lunch break today and I was impressed!!! This is a very nice, clean store with an awesome selection of clothes! I will be back. It smells nice too not like most thrift stores.

Really good thrift store with a ton of selection that is sorted pretty well. Feels a little more pricey on some things like pants than say a Goodwill, but quality is also usually better.

Best thrift store in Alabama. Not once have I ever went in there and not found more stuff that I wanted than I could afford. Can't go to fultondale without going here. Won't go to fultondale unless they are open.

Always organized and great customer service.

The manager is putting. they he her on the name tags

Love it. Great items, always something new. I find great clothes, toys and books here. Always have fun searching. I go once every one to two weeks.

Good store to find something you didn't know you needed!!

Nice thrift store. No peculiar odor as found in most thrift stores. Clean well lit. Higher quality clothing than many others.
