Purple Patch: A Welcoming Thrift Store with a Charitable Mission
Nestled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Purple Patch is a beloved thrift store that has been serving the community for over a decade. The overwhelmingly positive reviews from customers paint a picture of a welcoming and charitable establishment.
According to one reviewer, Christy Simpson, the store was previously known for its "Funky cool Carpet" and "reclaimed Dressing Room" - unique features that have since been updated, but still maintain the store's charming character. The current owners are described as "the real deal Hard Working Always Welcoming with Smiles" who go above and beyond to assist customers.
Customers rave about the incredible value and selection at Purple Patch, with one shopper, M.T., exclaiming, "Almost everything in this store is $1! Baby clothes, dresses, pants and jeans!" Another reviewer, Constantine Nunzio, noted that the merchandise is "almost new and cost nearly nothing." The store's Tuesday and Thursday half-off sales on items over $1 are also a major draw for bargain hunters.
Beyond the exceptional prices, customers highlight the store's commitment to supporting worthy causes. As Jenna Lira put it, Purple Patch is an "awesome place" with an "amazing cause!" Several reviews mention that the proceeds from the store's sales go towards charities that help children, making each purchase a feel-good experience.
The welcoming atmosphere of Purple Patch is a consistent theme in the reviews, with customers like Hanna Sanders praising the friendly staff who "make conversation while you shop" and even "bring you items that might be in your interest." The store's dedication to customer service is further evidenced by the staff's efforts to help customers stay cool in the hot weather and assist with loading purchases into their vehicles.
The store's loyal customer base and word-of-mouth reputation have made it a beloved institution in the Fort Smith community. As one shopper, Angela Shaw, enthusiastically declared after her first visit, "Definitely will go back!!"

This was my first time coming to this store! It is AMAZING! And it supports such a good cause! Every Tues and Thursday anything more than $1 is 1/2 off! Almost everything in this store is $1! Baby clothes, dresses, pants and jeans! I found amazing jeans today for me that fit me for only $1!! I will be back! They had clearance when I was going .50cents for kids tee shirts etc and I got a garbage bag full of clothes for my next sizes for my girls the total was only $25! You really cannot beat these prices
