Royal Antiquarian Books & Thrift Store

This store no longer exists.

For the longest time, I thought Royal Thrift was Circle Thrift (I’m dumb. They’re like, 10 blocks away from each other). You probably wouldn’t even notice this place if you weren’t looking for it. The store itself is very small, and you have to walk down steps to get in it. I can’t get over how packed the store is — there is barely any room to walk because shit is overflowing in the aisles. It’s not very well organized, and the selection isn’t that great. It seems they have a bigger housewares section than anything else (but nothing I’d really want to use, like sheets). Nothing spectacular in terms of women’s clothing or shoes, but you’d probably have to check back relatively frequently in order to pick up something worthwhile. If I had the choice, I’d probably skip this place and head to American Thrift instead.
I believe Royal Thrift is cash only. It’s open weekdays 9 to 7 and Saturday 9 to 6.
