Beyond apparel, the store offers an eclectic mix of home décor, small furniture items, and unique collectibles that regularly rotate through their carefully arranged displays. While the inventory constantly changes, shoppers can typically find gently-used name brands, stylish accessories, and one-of-a-kind items that give homes and wardrobes distinctive character at a fraction of retail prices.

The Neighborhood

Located in Montgomery's vibrant Fernway area, EK's Closet enjoys a convenient position that's easily accessible from both downtown and the Eastern Boulevard shopping district. This established residential neighborhood offers a peaceful shopping experience away from the bustle of major commercial zones. Nearby Fernway Park provides a pleasant spot to relax after treasure hunting, and the shop's proximity to Alabama State University makes it a favorite among style-conscious students seeking affordable fashion.

Parking

EK's Closet on Fernway Drive offers convenient parking directly in front of the store, with additional spots available along the street. The residential setting means parking is rarely a challenge, unlike downtown thrift locations. During peak shopping times (typically Saturday afternoons), you might need to park a short distance away, but the neighborhood offers ample, safe street parking within easy walking distance.

Shopping Tips

  • Join their text alert list by asking at checkout to receive notifications when new inventory arrives, giving you first pick of fresh merchandise.
  • Visit on Tuesdays when many Montgomery thrift stores, including EK's Closet, often refresh their inventory after weekend donations.
  • Bring cash for potential better deals, as some small thrift stores offer slight discounts for cash payments to avoid card processing fees.
  • Don't be shy about asking if there's additional stock in a particular category—staff often have recently processed items that haven't hit the floor yet.
  • Check corners and lower shelves where overlooked treasures often hide in plain sight, especially in the home goods section.

Before You Go

While EK's Closet hasn't published their official operating hours, local shoppers report they typically follow standard retail hours, opening around 10 AM most weekdays and weekends. For the freshest selection, Montgomery thrift enthusiasts recommend visiting early in the week when new items are often put on display following weekend donations. To confirm current hours before your visit, calling their direct line at (334) 549-8938 is recommended, as seasonal changes may affect their schedule.
