Change Is Good

Change is Good is a remarkable used clothing store that goes above and beyond by being a mission-driven social enterprise. I was truly impressed not only by the great selection of clothing but also by the meaningful work they do to help individuals overcoming addiction. It's heartwarming to know that my shopping contributes to such an important cause. The store features an excellent range of high-quality products, including items from well-known brands like Moon River and Lover & Friends. There are some fantastic pieces that were stylish and in great condition. You can find fashionable items while giving clothes a second life. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Shopping here feels good on multiple levels—you're not just updating your wardrobe; you’re also supporting a positive impact in the community.

Incredible experience shopping at their fill a bag sale yesterday. Very friendly staff helping myself and others out. Treated like royalty! Highly recommend this store. Plus added benefit of all proceeds supporting the Calgary Dream Centre. Will be back!

What an amazing establishment! I am truly impressed by how warm and lovely all the staff are, and how beautifully designed and chic it is. What touches my heart and pulls its strings even more is knowing that the proceeds support people battling addiction as they work to break free from the cycle and are graced to rebuild their lives at the Calgary Dream Centre where no one is beyond hope. - God is Great & Change is Good -

The upstairs vintage section of this place, which i believe consists of multiple vendors, is lowkey so amazing it’s not even funny. I have found cool stuff and amazingly affordable prices every time I’ve ever come here. Especially if you’re into Calgary / Alberta / Western Canadian-specific tees, sweatshirts hats and sports gear, i defy you to leave without finding something awesome. This is a must-stop for me when it comes to vintage shopping in Calgary, highly recommended

Zero bias, best thrift in the city. Change is Good is owned and operated by the Calgary Dream Centre and is a social enterprise. For those unfamiliar that means 100% profits go towards the addiction recovery programs offered through there. So literally every purchase is a donation. HOW COOL IS THAT. What makes it that much cooler is everything is local. A local organization that then donates (things not sold) to local organizations. The store is split into 2 parts. Downstairs is all donated clothing and shoes. Wholesale items and small wares and jewelry from local makers!! 80% of the store is local - Calgary or Canada - which is incredible to further support small businesses. A beautifully, dare I say, perfectly curated space. Not to mention the GREAT prices for clothes. Throw it on the top of your thrift list if you’re visiting. This is not a place to miss.

Wow! I am an avid thrifter, and while I love to sift through racks at any old thrift store, I did not realize how much I would LOVE shopping curated thrift. I've gotten so many Aritzia and brand name pieces from CIG and have loved shopping their local makers and vendors as well...I seriously cannot leave this store empty handed! Make sure you pop in to Change is Good the next time you are in Inglewood, the entire staff is so welcoming and there is so much to choose from!

I ALWAYS find something I love here. My favourite clothing shop in Calgary!!

This is a long overdue review, but wow my experience here is something I still rave about! I came across this gem on my way out of town. Cindy & Marissa were dreamy kind stylish thrifty fairy God parents who were sooo helpful (while I shopped til I gained an appetite and walked down the street to the best vegan bakery of my life, might I add). It was truly the most perfect afternoon. I found the best wool sweater, suede jacket, jeans x4 and the fact that it’s not only a sustainable choice but contributes to a cause that’s close to my heart (as a mental health therapist/social worker) was the icing on the cake. The pieces are clearly curated with love. I think about coming back to the city for this experience alone. Idk whether to be embarrassed or proud of that fact. Thanks for all that you do! Change is GREAT!! 🫶🏼🙏🏽
