Best of the New: Shopping

Goodwill Store

Vintage, consignment, and thrift stores are blossoming in the Boston area.

It's a return to Jamaica Plain for this ubiquitous thrift shop, which, after a six-year absence, opened in October at a former Foot Locker store. With its hardwood floors, color-coordinated clothing displays, artfully arranged housewares, and wall of shoes, the place feels like a boutique — without the hefty prices. Shop on, bargain hunters.
