Shopping Tips

  • Visit early in the week — Tuesday and Wednesday often bring freshly added inventory after the weekend, giving you first pick of newly donated items.
  • Check back regularly — because thrift store stock rotates unpredictably, what wasn't there last week might be exactly what you're looking for this week.
  • Arrive with time to browse — the best thrift finds go to shoppers who aren't rushing; give yourself the full window before the 4:30PM weekday close.
  • Keep an open mind about categories — a shelf labeled one thing might hold something unexpected; scanning broadly rather than narrowly almost always pays off at a shop like Encore on the Blvd.
  • Saturday hours are shorter (closing at 4PM), so if you're making a special trip to this Burlington, WA location on the weekend, plan to arrive by early afternoon.
