St. John XXIII Thrift Store - Fort Myers, Florida

This thrift store knows what they’re selling so don’t expect a “start the car” bargain. Their higher quality items seem discounted off a well-researched price. I visit a couple of times a year, I manage to walk out with something special, and I’m never disappointed with my purchase. ❤️

Found a beautiful 3-piece furniture set. Needed to double check with my husband so had to call back after I'd left the store to buy. They were so nice! Then, they delivered it only 2 days later! All volunteers too. Definitely will be back! My 1st time there.

The staff was friendly but for being a thrift store it's way to pricey. More like Boutique. Over ebay pricing asking prices. I think someone gets a little too excited with pricing in here. Alot of wonderful items, yes but too much. If an item is worth 100 why price it at 120?!. All items you get you make a profit so price to sell. You don't have to give it away but be realistic in pricing.

* If you are aiming for a boutique experience, you should consider changing the name of the store. When people hear "thrift" in the store name, they expect something different from what you are offering. This also raises the question of why the people who donate their time are not receiving an hourly income. People typically donate their time to charities, not to boutique stores.

Now that it is clear that this is not a thrift store, despite the misleading name, it makes sense that the prices are higher than retail. However, I looked at many items and compared the prices to what they have been sold for and what they are being asked for, and I believe that the prices are still unrealistic. The prices should be based on comparable sales and the local market in order to ensure that the items sell.

My review was intended to inform newcomers about what to expect. While it is important to pay bills, it is also important to avoid being greedy.

Great experience! Told them I was buying a gift and the delightful cashiers didn’t hesitate to box and wrap it for me! That kind of service without asking was awesome to witness. Thank you!

Great staff, great deals! The store is always neatly organized and has new items to browse every time I go. Got almost new shoes today for 9$! Check it out if you’re in the area, one of my favorite thrift stores

Great experience! My husband and I are new to the area and shopping for furniture for our condo. My friend and I were blessed to find an amazing matching dresser, mirror and chest here. The staff and volunteers were very welcoming and helpful. They were able to arrange for a quick delivery for us and very accommodating! I’m not done decorating and will definitely return for more fabulous finds!

My daughter and granddaughter were thrifting in Ft. Myers. We found St. John and it is so nice and had some great items. I found a perfect match, candle opera Tommy Bahama style and it perfectly matched a lamp I have. What a find! But, I have to share that there happen to be a Bridal shop right next door. My granddaughter is getting married and this was the first Bridal shop she had checked out. We just thought, Oh well, we can at least look. GOD is so Good! She was able to be taken care of at the shop and found her dress. It is the most perfect Beautiful dress, the one she dreamed of. We put a deposit and ordered the dress. I had to go back into St. John's and say Thank You! We would have never known of this Bridal Shop, only through visiting St. John's. Nothing is by coincidence , Praise God!
