The Invermere Thrift Store is the favorite place to be for a huge number of loyal customers from not only Invermere but also from as far away as Edgewater and Canal Flats. Bright and early on any given Thursday morning, regardless of the weather, eager shoppers begin to line up outside, wanting to be first in the door to see what’s new. By the time the door opens at 10 o’clock, there’s always a huge crowd.

The reason for all the excitement is that the Invermere Thrift Store has a very large selection of clothing, jewelry, linens, housewares, toys, tools, books and more and if you can imagine it, you’ll likely find it. If not today, then come back tomorrow! The prices are fantastic too!

The Invermere Health Care Auxiliary Society has operated the extremely successful business for many years, solely with  volunteer help. All the money raised from sales (and it is an astonishing amount) has enabled the auxiliary to purchase and donate much-needed medical equipment and more to the Invermere and District Hospital and other worthy health-related causes in the larger community.

They welcome gently used items, clean and in good repair. When you are spring cleaning and wondering what to do with all your family’s outgrown clothing, books, toys, etc. remember that the thrift store will be happy to find new homes for them. Just bring them to the store during hours of operation.

Store hours are Thursday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.

Note: The Invermere Thrift Store is always looking for volunteers so if you would like to meet and work side by side with an amazing group of local people, please drop in to the store or phone to become a part of the team.
