Out of the Closet

My favorite thrift shop in all of South Florida! The Ft. Lauderdale location has the trendiest clothes and the kindest employees! It’s also one of the cleanest thrift shops I’ve ever been in. My new favorite place! :)

Great place! The employees are the sweetest. My first time in and I bought two jackets. Very trendy and cute finds! Reasonable priced! I will definitely be returning and telling my friends about this place.
Fun fact: they do free HIV testing and there is also a pharmacy inside. Really unique + cool layout.

I have been to both locations a few times now & it’s always a fun experience. They have great items prices very reasonably. The staff is always friendly & upbeat with great music playing in the background. I find myself singing along while looking for my vintage goodies. The fact that the proceeds go to charity is a huge plus. They will pick up your items too if you are moving or want to donate. Awesome!

Very nice thrift store, great cause. Clean and good turnover of clothing and bric a brac.
Collectibles are a bit pricey.
But in general, one of the better shops.

Loved this place. Went here with my mom and the staff was extremely friendly and talkative! That plus a pair of 1 $ jeans had the chubby white preteen from a trailer park in me in heaven! Oh, and the proceeds go to charity which makes the place even more stellar. I didn’t find a lot for myself my first visit but I look forward to going back and looking for more!

Out of the Closet has 2 locations, I’ve only been to this location. It’s a great store… has a pharmacy located inside the store and people have the opportunity to get free HIV testing done. And they have a parking lot which is always a good thing.
The clothing is pretty good… you can find lots of brands from Forever 21 to GAP to higher end brands like St John and Bloomingdales. The racks are color coded so it makes it easier to shop for most people. They sell ladies and men’s clothing, furniture pieces, jewelry, handbags, shoes, house items, books, etc.
I’ve purchased several items from here and makes it even better when i pick an item that’s on sale. I’ve walked out with items discounted to $ 1! You can’t beat it. … i definitely would recommend checking out this store for those thrifters out there!

Excellent organization for an excellent cause — you can get a free HIV test done there no matter what your sexual orientation is. They also have a full pharmacy ! — Wow I was impressed. I thought they were just a rummage store when I drove into the parking lot.
I found awesome antique treasures hiding in this place. Staff was all very cool. Atmosphere was clean and friendly. So after shopping — I made a $ 20 donation on top of that and then I drove back and donated items — I was just very pleased with this place. They also do a great job of spreading awareness to the community for HIV prevention and treatment.

Haven’t been thrift shopping in a while? Careful going in“Out of the Closet” as you will be hooked.
It had been a while since I had been thrift shopping, but I have donated plenty of clothes, furniture and odd items to the Salvation Army and vets. I had forgot how interesting and tempting thrift can be.
The original intent was to get a winter jacket for my daughter for a trip we had planned. But we had a blast trying on different things and considering buying many objects as the prices only 5 or 10 dollars. At one point I think we were walking around with about 8 things we were going to buy but whittled it back down to just a few things
The store is kept well organized and bright. It feels hip inside, with the retro Diva posters hanging from the ceiling, and daylight flooding in through large windows.
I recommend stopping in in for a shirt, tie, sofa, or even if you don’t really need anything. It is a not for profit with donations and profits going to aids research and they even have a onsite clinic
happy thrifting!

Awesome shop with some really good stock. Great selection of mens clothes. Definitely going back when i have more time.

This place is dirty and the same as any «goodwill» or «faith farm» type. They have a pharmacy where I bought some protein bars. The bars were so old and stale rah when I tried to eat one I hurt my jaw because of how hard they were. I will never return! Ew

One of my favorite thrift stores! I always find something wonderful here for a really low price. I’m glad that my money is also going to helping those with AIDS/​AIDS research and what not. The staff is really friendly and are very up to date on where and who they got each piece from. A thrift store that is definitely worth a visit, which is rare for South Florida.

Such a great place! I shop here (Just scored a beautiful, short sleeved cashmere sweater) and I get painlessly tested for HIV here. The employees are down to earth and are happy to answer any and all questions. I love this organization and support it 100%

The deals here are great but it’s organized a little weird. Some great finds so far, my daughter bought a Sterling Barbie necklace for $ 15 and my niece got a beautiful nearly new cocktail dresses for $ 4.
I always find great books in good condition. Proceeds go to AIDS which is awesome. Great place to support.

There are ads for this place all over town with what looks like Elvira. I honestly thought it was a sex store because of the ads, but we came anyways because I also happen to love thrift stores! Haha
I am slightly confused about what is happening at this thrift store. My only complaint is that there wasn’t a story explaining their business anywhere on the wall or in a flyer. What I can assume though is that the money spent on donated items goes towards HIV testing — which they do right there. I like that they do HIV testing. There are also condoms. This sort of awareness is very admirable to me, and I am glad that they do it.
Good prices. VERY friendly workers :) Left with some Spice Girls, Billy Joel, and *NSYNC CDs. Yeah, clearly I’m a Long Island girl from the 90s.
Slightly small but there are two locations and they support a great thing.

This place is So awesome. I almost forgot I was in a 2^nd hand store. The employees here are super nicr and helpful and the clothes are in great quality for a really good price. They have everything organized neatly and its so cozy and friendly here. I love to stop by whenever I’m in the neighborhood. Plus they give free hiv tests, but ask for a donation is possible. I highly recommend it here

Small store and small selection esp compared to Goodwills and Salvation Armies in the area. But usually some great shirts that fit the way I like. Also check out the used cds and dvds. Proceeds also go to a great cause.

This is the newest, as in a brand new made to order building, of the Out of the Closet chain of what are now three outlet thrift, second time around, stores. Everything is clean, neat, orderly and well displayed.
If you know what you are doing and have a sharp eye, there are bargains to be found here, particularly in the clothing line. Though I prefer their store located over on the Drive in Wilton Manor, since I generally seem to find more of what I’m looking for, this is one of the very best thrift shops in the area. I also find it to be better than their store in Miami.
I might add that I like buying here as well as donating, since the establishment is eleemosynary (OK, charitable… having been a lawyer I slipped up since I used to get paid for using fat confusing words like that) with the proceeds going to help those with AIDS, HIV and related illnesses.

I discovered Out of the Closet in Miami Beach several months back. The Unilocal reviews of that store raved about the Broward original. Finally, I happen to chance by and stop it to give a good look around.
First, I love the directness of the charity. There is no doubt about the driving principle for those who are committed to the cause.
Next, Great space! A nice large airy and bright store that begs you to look, touch and try on. My personal favorite is the book section where I found several favorite authors at a ridiculous $ 2 price. Ahhh, I still love the feel of turning the pages.
While my partner in crime poured through the wearable, I found myself drawn to the jewelry selection, which was quite impressive in the scope and quality.
My only draw… and this goes to both stores, is the amount of more than gently worn items. Just a suggestion, but maybe there could be a special sales rack. I know the perception of worn can be quite subjective, but then again…
Overall, a great and fun consignment store in that puts it’s mission right out in front. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Enjoy and good luck.

WOW I really dont want to give the scoop on this place because i get some great stuff here, but i have to be honest; as a Unilocaler my responsibility is to Defend the beautiful, Procure the rights of the good and in the cases of the ugly, I must Destructively criticize these uglies to a pulp. BIG SMILEY FACE
Its located off of us1. This is a better store then the out of the closet store located in Wilton Manors.
Better prices.
Very friendly staff.
Very neat and organized. Will definitely be going back.

New thrift store I wanted to add to Unilocal.REVIEW COMING SOON.
