      Fan tastic Thrift is located in the Fan on Meadow and Main. Since it has such a great location it's small parking lot is always full. I usually have to find street parking on Granby street. The fenced in area near the back is were you drop off donation items. It is a very cramped parking lot so I recommend having your stuff boxed and easy to move or else you will be holding people up in the lot. It's a small one level store and requires no ramp for a wheel chair to get in. The problem is the aisles are too close together and it would be difficult to get around in the store. 

    

     This is a good thrift store because it's right in the city and new things are always coming in. It's always busy so you won't have time to think on your purchase and come back because it's usually gone. Even though the store is so busy and always being picked through the store is always clean and organized. They have always have a decent amount of staff to help get customers out quickly, keep things neat and help move purchases. It can be chaotic with the amount of customers in such a small store. This store is best shopping for clothing, shoes and small housewares. They really don't have the room for much furniture. A small boutique area is in the front. I've seen some amazing items behind that counter, that area is worth the look if nothing else. My favorite things to purchase here are the cheap t-shirts, shoes, glasswares and craft items. Most items don't last but the items don't sell within a sort time, they mark them down. 

     Fan tastic received three stars because I do not think it is for everyone but still remains a great thrift store. This store is small, crowded and not always accessible to everyone all the time. Loved by locals because of it's constantly changing inventory and great prices. I do recommend this thrift store if you go during the week before noon. I find this store easier to shop alone. Some treasures can definitely be found here, I recommend the boutique area for shopping gifts.
