In Sicamous at the junction of the two major highways (SE side) is the local United Church's thrift store (haven't been this year but it's still supposed to be there). Small, it has a small assortmet reflecting the community size. Free lot parking.
There is reputedly a thrift (or two) store in Chase but I have never been able to find it.
Salmon Arm is where the action is.
In the old town on Hudson Avenue between Ross and 4th is a Canadian Mental Health store. Very well-organised, it has clothing more than anything else. A few other items. Decent prices. Paid street parking and some free a bit further away.
On Lakeshore Drive near 10th (between the highway and rail track) is the 2nd Kindale store (1st in Enderby and newest in Vernon). Mainly clothing with some housewares and a decent assortment of collectibles. Prices for some items can be high. Free lot parking.
On Beatty and Narcisse between these two shops is probably the most interesting one in B.C., the Churches of Salmon Arm shop, which as the name implies, is the collective shop for most of the churches (over a dozen) in town. There's a clothing section, a housewares and other section, a collectibles and fine wares section, a fine clothing section upstairs and furniture and sporting goods and other wettable stuff outside. It gets lot of donations and is very popular with the locals. Very good prices (can depend on who checks you out but you always get a bargain especially on bag sale day -- Th-Sa about 3rd Saturday of the month -- where you can get all you can put into a plastic grocery bag for $2. Free lot and street parking.
