The talented women that run the Organization are enlightened & in conversation delightful. I am so so glad that I got sent here from out of state! These stores should be in every single city with charitable Cause attached. A Birmingham MUST!

One of the best thrift stores in town to stop by regularly. They maintain the orderliness extremely well and have good offerings at good values. Especially of note is that the business furthers an incredible cause - worth checking out their website. Located in extremely walkable Avondale surrounded by a ton of great restaurants and some other shops.

I love sozo trading co. It is a hidden gem in Birmingham. I always come back with good quality finds for myself and my home.
I love my pineapple candles that’s some of many nice items I’ve found recently.

I went here with two of my friends. We were expecting more of a Goodwill vibe, but this place is really nice. I would describe it as a cross between a thrift store and a vintage store. The prices were expensive for a thrift store but great for vintage. They had some good art pieces which can be hard to find at the average thrift store, I got this nice Paul Cadmus print for about $30. I would go back here again if I was in the area. Wouldn't really recommend this place if you are looking for super cheap stuff, but it's a good deal on nicer quality items and offers a more curated thrifting experience.

This is a really fun store! We read another review about a person being blocked due to a stopped train, and we were too! We eventually were able to find a side street that was past where the train was stopped. There's also a bridge to the southwest that goes over the train tracks (which I *think* is 35th St S...we're from Florida, so we're reeeeeally not familiar with the area!) If you're able, just come at the store from the south to avoid train drama!

The store itself is really fun! There are separate vendors along the edges, and prices do vary quite a bit. There is a big selection of $1 t-shirts, though, so if you just need some cheap shirts for working in the yard, or for doing an upcycling sewing project, then check it out! There was also a good selection of books for really cheap prices.

I thrift A LOT and I was very impressed with this place! It's a unique style. It's like is a regular thrift store in the middle. Like where people have donated and the store is selling the items, but all around the edges are vendor booths that people rent out and sell their own things. Very cool!
The dressing room is a small room that has a curtain, so there isn't a feeling of privacy, so keep that in mind. I typically wear a tank top and shorts when I thrift for instances like this.

Mi was ugly and very in friendly to me she wanted to take my clothes a wraparound my glasses stating that they didn’t have anything else to wrap them once I insisted she found bubble wrap that was under the counter to wrap them.

Not dealing with her anymore made my visit very unpleasant. I come here at least 6 to 8 times weekly I am a Amazon Reseller so I come to find deals for my clients.

Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! And I love that it's the most unique thrift store out there. You will always find things there that you will never see anywhere else. Not to mention that the whole vision behind this wonderful store is changing Ugandan children's lives forever.
