We went out to Maple Ridge today to check out a few of our favorite thrift shops, taking the slow way via Dewdney Trunk Road as it's unlikely we'll ever travel this corner of the province again. The trip proved to be not very fruitful, though I did get a few kitchen items for pennies.
There are two newer thrift stores to report on. Maple Ridge now has 4 thrift shops within a minute's walk with the other 3 another 5 minutes' walk away.
The big one is a new (since last summer) Habitat for Humanity ReStore in the old mall that houses the Cythera thrift shop. Occupying what appears to have been the space of a defunct supermarket, it's mostly house reno parts at the moment, as well as furniture. Lots of lot parking.
Across Dewdney Trunk Road and 2 doors east of the Hospital Auxiliary thrift shop is Repeat Street which assists the local school district, SD42. It is a smaller shop with a very boutique feel and arrangement. Mostly clothing and some decor. Quite a few near-new or even new item for sale. Very friendly proprietor. Free street parking as well as the lot across the street.
