Outfitters Thrift Store

Outfitters Thrift Store in Manchester, NH, stands out as a beloved local gem, particularly because it is family owned and has been supporting the community since 1992. The store’s commitment to helping those in need is evident; 100% of proceeds go to Families in Transition, which well-meaning patrons consistently highlight. As L H remarked, 'I also know that people in the Families in Transition shelters and programs can get free gift cards,' emphasizing the connection between shopping here and aiding local families. This sense of community spirit resonates deeply with customers, making their shopping experience feel meaningful.

Another defining feature is the thrill of the hunt. Shoppers rave about the store’s well-curated selection of gently used clothing, housewares, and electronics, often discovering unexpected treasures at remarkably low prices. Carol Locke enthuses, 'You never can tell when you’re going to find a treasure. I bought a brand new $79 skirt for $5 last time I went.' This unpredictability, combined with regular updates to inventory, keeps customers returning week after week.

However, a recurring theme in reviews is the store’s size. Caro D expressed a desire for more space: 'I only wish they could add a few more square feet to the store somehow.' While many appreciate the current offerings, a few customers feel that the store can become crowded, especially during peak hours. Still, these minor inconveniences do not seem to deter the loyalty and enthusiasm of its patrons.
