Thrift stores Toronto: 1 checked address under a thrift name

Thrift stores Toronto: one shop with thrift in its name and a checked address, Dirty Mike's Thrift at 1290 Queen Street West, and what the sources say.

Published . Updated .

One Toronto shop has thrift in its name and a checked address: Dirty Mike's Thrift, 1290 Queen Street West. The directory checked it on 11 September 2026, and its row carries the vintage category.

Queen Street West addresses

Dirty Mike's Thrift. 1290 Queen Street West, in Parkdale under the directory's street rule. Google's listing for the address, read for the directory on 11 September 2026, calls it a thrift store and open.

The row's website is Black Market's. That locations page, read the same day, lists Black Market at 347 and 256 Queen Street West and Public Butter at 250 Augusta Avenue, and not this address.

Black Market's site prices every vintage tee at $15.99 and Levi's orange tab jeans at $24 to $45, read 11 September 2026. Nothing states which of those ranges reach 1290 Queen Street West, so this note does not claim them.

What the count leaves out

Value Village is a chain, and the directory's rules leave chains out. The ten directory rows carrying the vintage category keep that word; this note does not call them thrift stores. The Kensington Market list names the vintage shops there by street.

One shop in the directory has thrift in its name. Dirty Mike's Thrift, 1290 Queen Street West.

How to get there

The 501 Queen streetcar runs Parkdale's stretch of Queen Street West, one metre from the district's centre as measured on 9 September 2026. Lansdowne station on Line 2 is 2.1 kilometres north, about a 26 minute walk.

The TTC's accessibility page, read 11 September 2026, says 55 of 70 stations had elevator access at the end of 2024. That page does not name them, so check your station before you go.

For the rooms that resell designer pieces on consignment, read the Toronto consignment list.
