The Thrifty Laker
Your Boutique Preloved Goods Store (aka Thrift Shop)
Donate. Treasure Hunt. Shop
At The Thrifty Laker, our low prices attract customers, but our tasteful products keep you coming back to discover what new treasures we have to offer. Our helpful staff are always on hand to point out new arrivals and to find items within your budget. We’re here to help you in any way possible!
About the shop itself:
The Thrifty Laker is nestled between 2 lakes (Pigeon and Battle) along RR20. 2km of gravel to our little acreage that homes the shop.
For now while we figure out if this venture is worthwhile you will find the shop "cozy" but inviting.
To keep the space feeling less cluttered we will only be displaying seasonal clothing unless stock is low.
If you need something specific please ask and we can probably dig it up!
There will be fresh coffee and tea for all customers.
There is no public bathroom on site.
We are cash and e-transfer only for now.
Give Back Today
The Thrifty Laker welcomes contributions of items you no longer want or need. By contributing these pre-owned items, we can then sell them at a discounted, affordable rate for those who couldn’t afford them otherwise or for those who simply love to thrift. We ask our donors to refrain from contributing "overly loved" items. The Thrifty Laker firmly believes in giving back to our community. Your generous contributions will help us do so. We appreciate your cooperation to add value and support. We know that giving feels great.
