About this shop
A small Vinnies at the courthouse end of Papakura's main street — honestly cheap, sorted by type, with a plus-size rack of its own and often a freebie rack on the footpath. Reviews below run hot and cold on service; our field note found it friendly and chatty. Follow their socials and move fast when something good appears.

A small Vinnies at the quiet top end of Papakura's main street, by the courthouse. Glassware, women's clothes, a bit of menswear, books and kids' stuff, organised by type with a dedicated plus-size rack — and often a free rack outside. Prices are properly cheap, and the staff are friendly and chatty.
Not a destination — parking near the courthouse is annoying — but they're worth following on socials: something interesting pops up every week or two, and when it does it's worth going straight down, because you know it'll be cheap.

Grumpy old lady gets mad at toddler for playing With teddy. Won’t spend another cent here. Won’t recommend to anyone. Take your money elsewhere. She’s a liability to St V.

One of my favorite places to stop in 😊 all the volunteers and staff are lovely and lots of reasonable prices on clothes and home goods. Definitely worth having a look around!!!

Overheard a woman who works here saying unkind things about an elderly male customer. She was speaking loud enough for people walking past to hear, then when she noticed I heard everything she said, she went very quiet. This is not ok, it's very nasty and instead of offering help you stood by and sniggered at the poor man. You should be ashamed of yourselves!!

Unchristian like attitude from the lady serving at the counter on wed' 30th sept' An elderly gentlemen came into the store, (supported by two walking sticks) He was having trouble signing in to the covid tracer, who the lady never helped, because he looked like he was smelly, were her very words. I over heard her say. 'when there's nobody in the shop I will get a bucket and disinfect every where. Well I'll never go back to that store ever again.

Very average op shop, small & prices are above average for the products they sell.
