BC's Highway 3 hosts some obscure thrift shops. We passed by portions of the route (east to Castlegar) in 2020, 2022 and 2023 but unfortunately have not been able to visit many.
Hope still does not have a thrift shop since Hope Community Services' Hidden Treasure closed. The next shop is in Princeton which hosts the Princeton Hospital Auxiliary shop. Opening days are limited and I have not managed to coincide a visit with an opening day.
Moving along to Keremeos, there is the Treasure Chest shop of the Cawston United Church. Unfortunately another shop that I have not been able to visit when open.
Osoyoos host the thrift shop of the Osoyoos United Church. There was another thrift shop operated by another church but the building was destroyed by an arson attack several years ago.
Though it's a little ways up Highway 33, I'll make a mention of the Westbridge thrift shop in Westbridge.
Midway has The Bridge located in an old church. Another one I have not been able to visit when open.
Greenwood has the Greenwood Seniors Thrift.
Grand Forks has 3 shops all of which I was able to visit. Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Grand Forks Hospital Auxiliary south of the highway and Whispers of Hope north of it.
Getting to Castlegar, we were only able to visit Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Treasure Shop of the Castlegar Hospital Auxiliary and the joint shop of St. David's Anglican and Castlegar United Church are there but were closed during out visit.
