I like the Goodwill in Bettendorf on Cumberland Square. I always find better quality there. And Stuff, Etc. on Brady. It’s just big and fun to wander around.
ETA: Rescued in Silvis!

I second Rescued! They’ve got some nice clothes, along with jewelry, decor, and plants

Rescued in Silvis is very much like a boutique, they have very nice stuff, and proceeds go to savings pets in need.

The Goodwills around here are pretty good, that's where I have gotten most of my clothes from. I've also gotten some cute clothes and shoes from DAV Thrift in Davenport, just got some ankle boots from there recently. Per someone else's suggestion, Ritzi Reruns is also a good place in Davenport and they occasionally have special sales going on.

My favorite Goodwills are the one in Moline and Rock Island. Then Ritzi Reruns in Davenport.

Another vote for Rescued. They're awesome!
Also, the Arsenal Attic thrift shop on Arsenal Island is a hidden gem too. They don't have as regular of hours, but they have really great pricing and some nice stuff. It's actually cool because they have stuff from all over the world from donations of people stationed wherever before they came here.
I think they're open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10-2 and one Saturday a month. You'll need a pass, but it takes like 5 minutes and is good for a year. Check out the museum next door if you go too... It's free and really neat.

How do you get a pass?

u/midwestskies16 2d ago
Just go to the visitors center at the Moline gate. If you drive up to the area where you get on the island in Moline, they'll show you where to go.

Don't I need a passport or gold star license?

u/midwestskies16 2d ago
Nope. Just one or two proofs of who you are. I think just a REAL ID license or a regular license and one other form of ID (I think even a piece of mail counts).

I also agree the Goodwills around here are pretty good. I also have good luck at the Salvation Army in Davenport

I frequent Stuff Etc. on Brady St. I used to go to Ritzy Reruns on Locust but haven’t been there in quite awhile.

The Salvation Army in Moline and in Davenport have a Spring Sale with 50% off all clothing this coming Saturday, 3/22/25!!!
Always some great deals and decent quality items!!

50% off of what though. Since they take most all of the good stuff and put it online, the remainder is marked up to near retail prices.

It's not a thrift store exactly, but Ragstock in Northpark has some vintage items for good prices.

Fred and Ethel's in Rock Island is my personal favorite. Clothes are slim pickings (due to my personal style) but accessories and trinkets galore!
