Second Chance Thrift Store - Ridgway, Colorado

Amie McGee

The brown haired older lady that often wears a glove is flat out rude.

My children were in the toy area and they were looking at toys and she made a snide remark, I assured her my children always pick up after themselves. We went to checkout and she told my son, “ I sure hope all of those toys are picked up, are they”?. She didn’t even listen to what I had told her. She’s also been rude before.

I love to buy my clothes at this store but I do not like the hospitality at all.

Go to for ski equipment and great place for clothing and decor!

This used to be my favorite thrift store. When I first moved here and couldn't afford to furnish my home/kitchen, it was a life saver. Our family dog is even a Second Chance rescue!

But someone new took over pricing a few years ago and all I can say is shame on you and what you've done to the underprivileged in the community. The prices have become ludicrous. I've personally seen her Google the cost of things new and price accordingly, and flat out tell me it's for charity.I understand that it's to benefit the animals, but thrift stores are also supposed to benefit the humans, too, who can't afford new things and are happy to give a second life to what others have discarded.

Clothing is constantly priced more than new. I tried to buy some winter clothes recently and sweaters are priced $25 and up, unless it's threadbare. Used clothing should never cost that much unless it's something insanely special. Certainly not a sweater! The coats were over $50. These are the things people need to stay warm in our frigid mountain climate. Where are low-income, working class people supposed to shop if it's not at the thrift store?

It's like that through the entire store. I don't think I've actually bought anything in years because now the THRIFT store is inaccessible. 1 star for thrift, but an extra star for being clean and well-organized.

For a thrift store the prices are pretty high, I know it’s for a good cause, but sometimes you want to find a great deal to be disappointed by a high price tag. All in all, they’re all very nice.

Amazing clothes, I got a new purse and a tag still on skirt. Although the clothes I got were great the staff was slightly rude. We arrived 17 mins before they closed and were kicked out at 4:55 (mainly our fault). But then my daughter asked me if she could try on a cute skirt and one of the staff members told my daughter that “that won’t fit you”. My daughter then tried it on and it fit, we bought it.

Always a great organization to support. Love stopping here and finding treasures along the way on our road trips from Denver to Telluride. Was happy to find they were open on the holiday too, Martin Luther King Day! Thanks for a great little thrift shop and an even better cause supporting the animals.

TOO EXPENSIVE. The folks that run the "thrift" shop need a lesson in pricing. Looking up replacement value on new similar items is quite unfair. They need to take into account the age, condition and depreciation of the actual item that has been donated. Most items have been donated as they hold no value to the original owners. While I am glad the animals benefit I see local folks overpaying dearly - unless the intended customers are tourists and rich residents who have no place in a "thrift" shop if they are only acting to outprice items for locals who really would benefit from a local "thrift" shop. The place is teeming with inventory. Perhaps consider the total amount earned monthly if you sold through more items at lower prices. A Win Win for the shelter and appreciative less prosperous locals. Your used items should not cost more than new similar items at Wal-Mart up the road unless they are truly unique. We just opened affordable housing for local folks for goodness sake. 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. 60%! Please try to keep that top of mind when pricing the donated goods in the future. I'm sure the actual donator doesn't want their item overpriced or they would have tried to sell it rather than donate. Or perhaps you're not a "thrift" shop.
