🛍️ Columbus Vintage Shopping Tour Vol.3: Village Discount Outlet

Village Discount Outlet is a local Ohio chain with four stores across the state: one in Dayton, two in Cleveland, and one right here in Columbus 🗺️. Ironically, while the brand emphasizes its Ohio roots, it actually has more locations in Chicago than in all of Ohio combined! Walking into the Columbus location, my first impression was: It’s HUGE! 🤯 Rows upon rows of racks are packed with clothing — enough to keep you browsing all afternoon. The selection is massive, but quality and condition vary widely. You’ll find familiar names like Levi’s, Ralph Lauren, and The North Face mixed in with other brands, though most items show noticeable wear. There are some gems (not many), but the pricing isn’t always a steal. The value is just okay — I lucked out with a discount during my visit, but many locals on Reddit complain that regular prices are a bit high 🏷️. If you go, try to time it with a sale! Overall, I’d describe VDO as decent but not outstanding — like a slightly upgraded Goodwill. Still, with this much volume, there’s always a chance something special is waiting in the racks. Since it’s so big, it’s worth a look! 👀 📊 Ratings: Quality: 🌟🌟🌟 Historical Range: 🌟🌟🌟 Value for Money: 🌟🌟~🌟🌟🌟 (Regular price) / 🌟🌟🌟~🌟🌟🌟🌟 (On sale) Design & Style: 🌟🌟🌟 #VillageDiscountOutlet #ColumbusThrifting #ThriftStoreFinds #OhioVintage #BudgetFashion #SecondhandShopping #ThriftTour #SustainableStyle
