What They Sell

As the name suggests, Pelican Furniture & Thrift Store focuses primarily on furniture and home goods for New Orleans residents. Shoppers can expect to find sofas, tables, chairs, dressers, and bedroom sets alongside smaller household items. The inventory typically includes both vintage pieces with character and more contemporary functional furniture at thrift store prices. Given the store's Louisiana location, you'll often discover items that work well in New Orleans' distinctive homes, from compact pieces perfect for shotgun houses to larger items for family homes.

The Neighborhood

The store sits in Mid-City New Orleans, a vibrant residential neighborhood known for its shotgun houses, local eateries, and authentic Louisiana character. This area is conveniently located near the historic Bayou St. John and just minutes from City Park, making it easy to combine thrift shopping with other neighborhood activities. The Mid-City community embraces the sustainable, thrifty lifestyle that makes Pelican Furniture & Thrift Store a natural fit for the area.

Parking

Street parking along North Hennessey Street and surrounding Mid-City blocks is typically available for shoppers visiting Pelican Furniture & Thrift Store. As with most New Orleans neighborhoods, check posted signs for any parking restrictions or permit zones. If you're planning to purchase larger furniture items, parking close to the entrance will make loading easier.

Shopping Tips

• Bring measurements of your space before furniture shopping to ensure pieces will fit through doorways and in your rooms
• Ask staff about delivery options or recommendations for affordable furniture movers in New Orleans if you don't have a truck
• Check furniture carefully for any damage or needed repairs before purchasing
• Visit regularly since furniture inventory turns over quickly and the best pieces sell fast
• Bring cash as a backup payment method, as some thrift stores have limited card processing capabilities

Before You Go

While specific operating hours aren't currently listed, most New Orleans thrift stores operate during standard business hours on weekdays and weekends. For the freshest inventory and best selection, experienced thrift shoppers recommend visiting earlier in the week when new items have been processed and put on the floor. Calling ahead to confirm current hours and asking about delivery days can help you plan the most productive shopping trip to Pelican Furniture & Thrift Store.
