Thrift Stores in Greenfield (Highway 100 and 74th Street)

Two charity thrift stores side by side on S 108th St, four buy-sell-trade resale shops around Greenfield Place, and the bigger donation stores just south in Franklin.

Greenfield's secondhand shopping comes in two flavors, and they're on opposite sides of the city. The best-reviewed thrift store Greenfield has, St. Vincent de Paul, shares a stretch of S 108th St with Ultimate Thrift on the west side, while the buy-sell-trade resale shops for clothes, sports gear, books and instruments cluster around Greenfield Place on S 74th St.

Plan a thrift run by corridor, park once at each end, and you can cover most of it in an afternoon.

Where to thrift in Greenfield

Greenfield's secondhand stores sit in two clusters: charity thrift stores next door to each other on S 108th St, and resale shops that buy your used goods around Greenfield Place on S 74th St.

S 108th St is also Highway 100, the busy north-south road on Greenfield's west side. The thrift stores there take donations and sell whatever comes in, from furniture to toys, at thrift prices.

S 74th St and W Holmes Ave, about 2.5 miles east, work differently. Plato's Closet, Play It Again Sports and Music Go Round all buy items from customers and sell them, so you can bring things in for cash or trade, and the selection is sorted by category rather than donated in bulk. Half Price Books does the same for books, movies and music.

Round the day out with the rest of a Greenfield Saturday, from a walk in Konkel Park to a scoop at Kopp's, both a short drive from either cluster.

S 108th St: St. Vincent de Paul and Ultimate Thrift

St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store at 4476 S 108th St and Ultimate Thrift at 4450 S 108th St are neighbors, so you can park once and shop both.

St. Vincent de Paul is the organized one. Home goods, furniture and children's toys are the strongest sections, the store is kept clean and well laid out, and reviewers keep mentioning the smell of fresh popcorn rather than the usual thrift-store mustiness. It holds a 4.3 average across more than 570 Google reviews, the best of the donation-based stores in Greenfield.

It's open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Next door, the feel changes completely.

Ultimate Thrift at 4450 S 108th St is the dig-through end of the scale, packed with appliances, furniture, lawn and garden gear, tools, kitchenware, collectibles, clothing, shoes and toys.

Reviews are split, averaging 4.0 on Google and lower on Yelp, which is what you'd expect from a store where the stock changes constantly and nothing is curated. Go in ready to hunt, and give it more time than St. Vincent's.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

A short way south at 4631 S 108th St, AJ Collectables isn't a thrift store, but it's worth the detour for sports card collectors, with new and vintage cards, memorabilia and supplies, and monthly Rip Fest nights of pack opening and prizes.

S 74th St: resale for clothes, gear, books and instruments

Plato's Closet, Half Price Books and Play It Again Sports sit within a few doors of each other on S 74th St, and Music Go Round is across W Holmes Ave, all around the Greenfield Place shopping center.

Three of these, Plato's Closet, Play It Again Sports and Music Go Round, are franchises of the same company, Winmark, and they work the same way: bring in what you don't use, get paid or trade it in, and shop what other people brought.

Plato's Closet at 5020 S 74th St buys and sells secondhand clothing for teens and young adults, focused on current brands and styles, and prices run well below retail.

It has the longest hours on the strip, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. Reviews average 3.6, so check what the store is currently buying before you haul a bag in.

Two doors down at 5032 S 74th St, Half Price Books sells used books, movies and music, and it's open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. More than 2,000 Google reviews average 4.5.

Play It Again Sports at 5042 S 74th St buys, sells and trades sporting gear, both new and used. It's the place to outfit a kid who's grown out of skates, cleats or a hockey stick for the third time this year.

It's open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Across the parking lot, the most specialized shop in the cluster is the best-reviewed secondhand store in Greenfield.

Music Go Round at 7425 W Holmes Ave buys, sells and trades used instruments, amplifiers, sound equipment and accessories. It's a good place to find a first instrument without paying new prices.

It holds a 4.8 average across more than 1,200 Google reviews. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The resale strip also puts you close to a caffeine stop, because Fava Tea and the coffee shops on 76th Street are a few minutes' walk from the Holmes Ave parking lot.

For team gear to go with the used cleats, Green & Gold Zone at 4862 S 74th St sells Packers, Brewers and Bucks apparel new.

Bigger donation stores within 5 miles

The Salvation Army Family Store is about 2.3 miles southeast of Konkel Park, and Goodwill and the Habitat for Humanity ReStore sit next door to each other about 2.8 miles away in the same direction, all in Franklin.

The Salvation Army Family Store at 6341 S 27th St is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and closed on Sundays, and its sales fund the Salvation Army's rehabilitation and veterans programs.

At 6941 S Riverwood Blvd, Goodwill sells donated clothing and housewares, open until 8 p.m. most days and 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Next door at 6939 S Riverwood Blvd, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore sells building supplies, furniture, appliances, vintage finds and lawn equipment. Its hours are short, closed on Sundays and Mondays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, so check before you go.

North of Greenfield, Value Village at 729 S Layton Blvd, about 4.9 miles from Konkel Park, runs half-off weekends across clothing and home goods.

That store is in the city of Milwaukee, the farthest stop in this guide.

Donating or selling instead of shopping

If you're clearing out rather than shopping, the question is whether you want cash or a donation receipt, because Greenfield-area stores split cleanly on that.

To get paid

Take clothing to Plato's Closet, sports equipment to Play It Again Sports, instruments and audio gear to Music Go Round, and books, movies and music to Half Price Books. Each one looks items over and makes an offer in cash or store credit, and each only buys what it can resell, so bring clean items in good shape.

To donate

The Salvation Army Family Store on S 27th St and Goodwill on S Riverwood Blvd are donation centers and stores in one, which makes dropping things off part of the same trip. Sales at the Salvation Army store support its rehabilitation and veterans programs.

For furniture and building materials

The Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Franklin accepts gently used furniture, decor and tools, and it offers two pickup options for larger donations, which saves renting a truck. Its short hours apply to drop-offs too.

Tips for a Greenfield thrift run

Start on S 108th St, where the two thrift stores share a stretch of road, then drive east to S 74th St for the resale shops.

Check days before you go. The Salvation Army is closed on Sundays, and the ReStore is closed Sundays and Mondays, but the Greenfield stores in this guide are all open seven days a week.

Bring things to sell to the S 74th St shops early in the day. The Winmark stores look over what you bring before they make an offer, which goes faster when the store is quiet.

Thrift stores and resale shops are different trips. The charity stores on S 108th St reward digging and patience. The resale shops on S 74th St reward knowing what you want.
