Since 2017, we've regularly held out big event, formerly our $3 Sale. Why has the price increased? Well, primarily, it's to raise more money for our not-for-profit partner, Mainspring Portland, a local organization that provides, food, clothing, household goods and support to local residents. Via these big events, we've raised over $10,000.00 for local groups. After 7 years, their need has grown, and it's our first price increase, but the deals are still amazing!
How does it work? Simple, over several months, we collect and stockpile clothing that is unclaimed by consignors, or donated for the sale. Right after closing on Friday, we get to work! We clear out Shoe-La-La and set up racks that we fill to the max with all the treasures. We do divide it by size (we're not MONSTERS!) for easier shopping, and then we go get a good night's sleep.
WHAT'S NEW this time? Our biggest change is our Early Bird event. If you want to get the jump- starting at 9:30am, we'll allow entry to 20 people max, for pre-shopping privileges. The cost for Early Bird tickets is $20, and they're expected to go fast, so don't wait to book yours. You can get an early bird ticket right on our website here.
Please note: no Early Bird tickets will be available at the door. You must purchase in advance to be admitted.
We love these events, as do our loyal shoppers. We expect a crowd, so don't be alarmed. We recommend dressing in layers so you can try on easily. And remember, patience is a virtue!😉 If you love treasure-hunting at thrift shops in Portland, this event will thrill you!
