Friperie Notre Dame started with a simple idea: rescue what others throw away. What began in 2019 as two founders—Andy Harriott and Chloé Boudreau—driving around Montreal to collect landfill-bound goods has since grown into one of the city’s largest, most community-focused thrift shops. Now housed in a unified 14,000-square-foot space in Lachine, this all-in-one store brings together clothing, furniture, children’s items, and more under one roof.
The vibe is a balance of curated and chaotic. It doesn’t feel overly polished, but it’s far from a pile-and-pray rummage fest. Prices hover in Value Village territory, but the selection is more intentional, often highlighting better quality and more unique pieces. The mission, however, remains the real draw: keep good stuff in the community and out of landfills. Whether you’re hunting for a wardrobe refresh, a quirky glass lamp, or something your kid will outgrow in six months, Friperie Notre Dame delivers utility, style, and purpose in equal measure.
