One of my favorite thrift stores in the Columbus areas. They always have unique items and decent prices. They have a much bigger inventory of clothing than general items. Also, they have an excellent mission and are an important community resource.

Mayra V Villarreal

A great little place for treasure hunt!!!! I love this place, they have fair prices and staff is super friendly, and the profits are destined to a great cause.

Hazel Hyde

Great thrift shop with clean, hip cloths! Seems like a lot of nice households donate here..prices are very thrifty with color coded tag specials throughout the week...variety in all types of odds and ends and a pleasant staff :D always fun to pop in!

Kallee Bernish-Good

The staff at Out of the Closet and specifically the AHF wellness center are wonderful. I always feel safe and accepted. Every staff member has consistently given me sincere and quality care.

Support local Healthcare with this central Ohio shop

Jessica Knettle

A friend and I were in Columbus for the day, and we joked about finding a "gay little thrift shop" but there we were, walking up High street when we find an actual queer thrift shop. Insanely reasonable prices, lovely and helpful staff. Like Goodwill, but better.

Abby Humphrey

Cool second hand shop with clothes for everyone, shoes, furniture, applicances. Fairly large store to comfortably shop in!

Coraline N

Great thrift store! There are plenty of clothes to choose from plus an array of other things like books, decorations, shoes, furniture and more. Staff are always super nice! Changing rooms are in the back corner and you can get 10% for brining your own bag! Also, the money goes to a great cause. Definitely my favorite thrift store in Columbus!

Alicia Jackson

Great place for free std testing but it’s first come first serve so make sure you get there early. All the staff were super nice and friendly and the process was very quick and easy. They also give you free condoms :)

Tony Lobdell

This place is amazing. I found the best shirts here. My friends also found delightful knickknacks that they've been wanting for a while. The staff here is also quite nice. This is definitely a business I want to keep coming back to. I would recommend this place to any thrifter that wants to find something fun every single time.

Kaan Genç

Incredibly nice people, and they do a great service to the community. I love donating and browsing stuff here. I recently found a great printer for just 5 dollars! A wide selection of clothes and books, and some decent electronics and other stuff here as well.

Cara Cieslak

As a thrift store, what you’ll find is hit or miss for your style and budget, but things were very reasonably priced and they seemed to have a lot of sales. This place really cares about community, and I’d never felt so connected to people I never met before. Everyone was very kind, so I highly recommend stopping by when you can. I love that my money is going to a place that helps people.

Jackie Edwards

Well priced and all money goes toward queer healthcare.

Liz Love

Fantastic collection of things to purchase at an affordable rate.

Michael Woodall

What a great little plane with a great concept. Totally appreciated the store and it's mission. Was also excited to see the prices were decent and the staff was super friendly. Would love to see more items and I'm sure that will come with time so please donate here you won't regret it. They are doing great things for the community!

Tatum Licata

A staple in our rounds of thrifting adventures, we love to support a business with a mission in our household! I always find more than planned here, the clothing selection is great, plus the staff are conversational and pleasant. I was a little disappointed that they refused to sell me something priced and on display, but we keep coming back.

Joel Nirmalnath

I've only gone once (so far) and haven't spent a lot of time there, but this place seems really cool. Great second-hand items at great prices. I really like how holistic the store is by also having a pharmacy on site and free HIV testing. Staff seemed nice too. I'll definitely be back again!

Tod Bowen

Cool spot with ALOT of stuff - and they were very friendly and helpful.

Jacobi Tiede

Me and my girlfriend love this place!! Good prices, and a great environment from the employees to the signage and free testing. Has a great vibe :)

Jarob Jarvis

My absolute favorite thrift store in town and place to shop always look forward to going and seeing what's new and always count on getting a good deal

Mike Miller

I found some great deals! A mouse and keyboard, a stereo, a bike lock. Then woman at the register had the most amazing orange hair. Like brilliant hue. So effin cool. And attractive. They always have items in great condition too.

Kandi Bastianelli

Great prices. Friendly people

Sarah Yvonne

I have been to all the thrift stores in the columbus area and I've got to say, that today was my first time coming here, I was absolutely impressed with the set up, the clothes, the prices and the friendliness! I made out with some great stuff for a great price. And that's all a girl could hope for when thrifting, keep up the great work! I will be back.

Allison Batchelor

Nice folks run this thrift store. Good buys. Private place to try on clothes. 10% discount if you don't need a bag for what you buy!

JustA Girl

Best thrift store in the city, hands down. From household items to mixed media to clothing to art to jewelry and so much more. They give out free condoms. Great location with its own parking lot. Hundreds of items for a dollar every day of the week. Stellar customer service and all the employees are so positive and helpful. Another place I recommend for all my tourist friends. Oh and you get 10% off if you opt out of having your purchased items "bag free"; eco friendly baby, that's what I'm talking about. This place is so perfect for so many different reasons and if you have donations (clothing/furniture, whatever), they will pick it up from your house.

Samantha E. Maxey (Samantha Marie Eades)

My favorite place to shop! They always have new items and have amazing deals! Like these brand new Nike Air Max still had price tags on them and never been worn that I got for only $4.50. 💕💖💕 I'm definitely going back to shop there again. Definitely recommend to everyone!! …

Lori Trembley

LOVE this store! $1 racks are a gold mine for any age!!! I've had GREAT finds ... From the perfect (re)gift to designer clothing to a nice $14 couch! Wonderful staff, every time!!!

Shellie Smith

This is my store. I buy a lot of things from them. Fans, clothes, jewelry, a couch, and much more. The staff is always friendly. I love the prices and the discounts you save on certain tickets. You also save a little money by not using a bag .works for me!

Taylor S

Hands down favorite thrift store. I wish it was bigger! The prices are a steal - like a new J.Crew dress for $4 or a leather bag for $8. They have a few racks with $1 prices. Sometimes clothes might be heavily worn or stained, but I could find something for myself at any visit. Almost all of their profits go to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Shop sustainably and donate to a good cause 💙

Kris Wilson

These people do great work for the community, including free HIV testing and free condoms for visitors. It's both small AND priced a little higher than most thrift stores, but that's to be expected. Everything's organized really well, the staff are nice, and (thank GOD) there's parking in the back. I love coming here for cheap clothes, and apparently it isn't too bad for electronics either. When my partner and I were last there, he found some expensive adapter cable in a $1 box. So if there are any weird little cords or cables you've been looking for, it might be worth it to run by. It's a great place overall. Check them out.

Alice Angel

They change their times alot when it comes to STI checking, on the answering machine it says its available Monday through Thursday (schedule ahead) an then i was told its ONLY done on Monday and Thursday, usually im able to reach somone but i couldn't so im confused, overrall staff is nice just needs to be more organized.

I rate this five stars because of how special it is. I live in Toronto and when my friend and I visit Ohio we go there to look around because it is a thrift store, but mainly because it is a cool LGBTQIA2S+ friendly area. It is nice to know some of the staff is queer and it is so awesome that Americans can get free HIV testing at the clinic within. That is so important and a necessary service that should be free always. In terms of the atmosphere, I will not lie, it is a bit empty. But they have amazing deals (I got a flannel for a $1) and have a nice selection of leather goods and some decent long sleeved shirts. They had a grande piano last time I went, which was nice. They also have a water bottle refill station, but no public washroom, unfortunately. I have never encountered a bad employee, in fact, I had a very nice talk with a gentleman about what is going on in the States in general and abouy Canada. It was really nice. I got about ten pieces of clothing for $40 which was a steal, pretty much. Overall, I liked it. It is a little empty, but the novelty is there.

Edmond Dantes

Great place to find inexpensive used clothing and other items. Very friendly staff!

Gary

Always a fun place to find and buy things you want and things you didn't even know you wanted. Just double check the quality of the item you are thinking of buying. When it comes to furniture check check and check again to make sure that there are no bed bugs signs whether alive dead or eggs. You don't want to buy them also. I know someone who bought a chair looked thoroughly and still ended up with infestation in that chair.

Christopher Yeater

First of all, the place goes to a great cause and as a customer you can benefit from that cause since they give out free contraception. Then there's always great clothes and an interesting assortment of art, furniture, dishes, and other knick knacks for your home. It's an especially accommodating shop if you're trying to save money. They even have a student discount.

Jon

What a wonderful community center. Come find lightly used clothing and other items with name brands, which all goes to support the access to prevention and treatment of STDs, and HIV/AIDS. Thank you to all who are patrons of this business and to the business and those who volunteer here to help improve the quality of life of those who live within our community.

Angela Eason

Glad to see this place open. They are restricting the amount of customers, requiring you to wear a mask (they will provide one) and have hand sanitizing stations available. Free testing is available on an appointment basis.

Alexia Gilbert

This was my firsts time ever coming to this store, I go past it almost everyday I've been going past it for a total of 3 years I was always to scared to enter but something told me I should today so I did, everyone was super nice and friendly I felt like I could be my self and not worry, I was soooo happy I felt like I could take on the world I even bought an outfit which made me feel like me I felt like I was home and thats the best feeling ever! The staff is also super amazing I'm definitely coming back here more often!

Lesley Reed

Awesome selections at reasonable prices!!

Robert Kannal jr

The idea of the thrift store is amazing. Love the philosophical direction, the free STD testing, and the people are nice too. The selection is small though and everything but the clothes are a bit disorganized. Neat place though.

Jamaal Midnight

The place is very clean and the staff are really welcoming. There are a lot of different clothes,books and other merchandise that are fairly low priced. Worth a look around.

Kerri Radicella

This thrift store is really quite unique! They offer HIV testing, have an onsite pharmacy and also encourage eco-friendly practices. I love wandering thru thrift stores and this one did not disappoint. Found a brand new skirt for $4. Friendly staff too!

Tyler Munden

I love browsing the tshirts here. There's always something interesting to find. You can also find kitchenware and other odds and ends. Staff is friendly and the layout is inviting. This place is a neighborhood gem.

Jason Houston

Absolutely love this place! Every time I visit there are so many new things. Great clothes and for an amazing price. Definitely will be going back to and recommending.

Marayann Green

I love this place because they do free HIV, hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted disease testing. It's all 100% free and confidential. You can even look up your results online. They also have a pharmacy and a thrift store where they do sell nice clothes. Very friendly staff works here as well.

Bryson Core

I always sense a very good feeling from this place. Good thrift store, friendly people.

Sophie

Good place to thrift on the cheaper end in Columbus. Friendly staff. Student discounts. They offer free STI testing for the community, which is why it's good time upper Out of the Closet!

Valerie B

Out of the Closet is a thrift store type place with a good cause. They provide plenty of services to the community. They have free and open testing for HIV several times a week, and provide testing for other STIs but not as frequent as their HIV testing.

christdragon

Great selection. They always have what I'm looking for in my size. Thanks.

Doug. E Bear
