Sozo Trading Co. - local business in Birmingham

"Cool place! Very large and well organized. There is a center section for the high end stuff and then racks for the other. Lots of furniture and knick knacks. There is also a fitting room and a bathroom which is a plus."

"One of the best thrift stores in town to stop by regularly. They maintain the orderliness extremely well and have good offerings at good values. Especially of note is that the business furthers an incredible cause - worth checking out their website. Located in extremely walkable Avondale surrounded by a ton of great restaurants and some other shops."

"I thrift A LOT and I was very impressed with this place! It's a unique style. It's like is a regular thrift store in the middle. Like where people have donated and the store is selling the items, but all around the edges are vendor booths that people rent out and sell their own things. Very cool! The dressing room is a small room that has a curtain, so there isn't a feeling of privacy, so keep that in mind. I typically wear a tank top and shorts when I thrift for instances like this."

"This is a really fun store! We read another review about a person being blocked due to a stopped train, and we were too! We eventually were able to find a side street that was past where the train was stopped. There's also a bridge to the southwest that goes over the train tracks (which I *think* is 35th St S...we're from Florida, so we're reeeeeally not familiar with the area!) If you're able, just come at the store from the south to avoid train drama! The store itself is really fun! There are separate vendors along the edges, and prices do vary quite a bit. There is a big selection of $1 t-shirts, though, so if you just need some cheap shirts for working in the yard, or for doing an upcycling sewing project, then check it out! There was also a good selection of books for really cheap prices."

"This place is amazing! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. There is something to find that fits every budget. Some things are more expensive than others but the quality and name brand was worth it. Also, I found t-shirts for $1 and other items for hardly nothing. I would recommend going and looking around. Its hard to see everything in one trip. I was there an hour and didnt see everything I wanted to see and check out. Loved it!!!"
