Compare Ottumwa’s Goodwill, Klassi Kloset and Kendra’s Thrift Shack. Start with one of 1 editable shortlists, check the store profiles, and confirm schedules before leaving—especially Kendra’s Sunday opening.
The current Ottumwa directory has three shops, each with its own shopping model and schedule. A two-stop outing leaves time to inspect items and research uncertain finds. Use the individual addresses and directions; the city name alone does not mean every stop is in one shopping district.
Trips awaiting confirmed visit details (1)
These suggested trips are not active because one or more stops need confirmed shopping hours or visit access. Their shop profiles remain available in the local directory; confirm each stop before making your own trip.
Klassi Kloset & Highway 34
North Jefferson & North Quincy
Klassi Kloset is listed at 1207 North Jefferson Street and Goodwill’s operator identifies its Ottumwa branch at 850 North Quincy Avenue. These are separate stops. Make the earlier-closing shop your starting point after confirming the day’s hours.
The Highway 34 stop
Kendra’s Thrift Shack is listed at 15833 Highway 34. The local visitor directory describes clothing, decor and collectibles. Check directions and current opening before making it the anchor of a trip.
Small coverage, editable plans
Use the shortlists to compare the three recorded shops, then remove any that do not fit your day. This is a starting directory, not a claim that every Ottumwa-area secondhand business has been covered.

Trips you can make your own
These are starting points, not timed or optimized routes. Check each shop’s current hours, then change the order or remove stops. Opening a shortlist does not replace your saved trip.
2 stops
Town thrift comparison
Start with Klassi Kloset, then compare the Goodwill retail branch. Inspect item condition and completeness at both stops; a lower shelf price still needs to support demand, shipping costs and the work involved.
The saved Klassi Kloset schedule lists Monday–Friday 10am–4pm and Saturday 10am–2pm; confirm it directly because the reviewed owner page does not show a current readable timetable. Goodwill’s current locator lists Monday–Saturday 9am–9pm and Sunday noon–5pm.
The Meet Ottumwa entry lists Kendra’s Sunday 1–5pm, while another saved source lists Sunday closed. Neither conflicting value should be treated as settled. Call the listed shop number, 641-777-7351, before planning a Sunday visit.
Klassi Kloset’s owner page describes donated merchandise supporting community and mission work, and lists donation exclusions including old electronics and certain baby equipment. Donation restrictions and shopping hours are separate questions; confirm the service you need.
Use the Goodwill of Central Iowa locator for the 850 North Quincy Avenue retail branch. Do not apply a Des Moines outlet rule, rate or rotation schedule to this Ottumwa retail store.
For clothing, check labels, fabric, closures, stains and measurements. For household goods, inspect completeness and packing needs. Bring the sourcing checklist, compare exact sold items and use the profit calculator before committing to a purchase.
Build category knowledge before adding more stops. The men’s jeans guide and button-up checklist link That Couple Flips research videos; their item research can help you evaluate finds without implying a review of these shops.
Practical questions for this trip
Where is Kendra’s Thrift Shack in Ottumwa?
Kendra’s Thrift Shack is listed at 15833 Highway 34, outside the Quincy Avenue shopping stop. Treat it as a separate drive rather than a walk between downtown shops. The local visitor directory and saved profile disagree on Sunday access; call 641-777-7351 before planning a Sunday visit.
Which Ottumwa thrift stores can I compare in one short trip?
Start with Klassi Kloset and Goodwill Ottumwa for the town comparison, or pair Klassi Kloset with Kendra’s on Highway 34 for a local-shop day. Use the two shortlists above to load exact destinations, then check each shop’s hours and reorder stops for your starting point. No automatic open-now status or optimized driving order is implied.
Can I use either full shortlist on Sunday?
Neither is a confirmed Sunday pair. Klassi Kloset’s recorded schedule says Sunday closed, and Kendra’s Sunday information conflicts. Goodwill’s operator lists Sunday noon–5pm for the Ottumwa branch, subject to exceptions.
Which stop should I visit first on Saturday?
Klassi Kloset has the earliest recorded Saturday close, at 2pm. Confirm it before setting the order. The local visitor directory lists Kendra’s until 4pm, while Goodwill’s locator lists its retail branch until 9pm.
Does a saved trip check opening hours or optimize the drive?
No. A shortlist is an editable starting order. Confirm each shop, follow address directions and reorder or remove stops as needed. Opening a proposed trip leaves your saved trip available until you choose to save or add it.

FROM SOURCING TO SELLING
A small trip with a clear buying limit
Choose two stops first
Use the town thrift comparison for Klassi Kloset and Goodwill, or choose Klassi Kloset and Kendra’s for the Highway 34 option. Start with two stops and leave the third optional. Check each profile’s shopping hours before deciding the order.
Compare the item, not the shop
Use the same condition checklist at each stop. For clothing, note the line, fabric, size and flaws before checking comparable sold items. A familiar shop or label does not make an unfamiliar item a safe buy.
Finish the purchases you already made
Before planning another outing, attach each purchase cost to the item, record measurements and disclosures, and give it a storage location. Choose a manageable photo and listing batch rather than adding everything to an untracked pile.
Add up to 20 stops, then use Move up / Move down to set your order. Check shopping hours before heading out. Directions follow your order; they do not optimize it.
How trip estimates work
Between-stop straight-line distances use approximate map pins. Rough driving ranges assume roads add 20–60% distance, with 20–35 mph for legs under 15 straight-line miles and 35–55 mph for longer legs. These are planning assumptions, not calculated road routes. Rivers, road layouts, traffic and parking can make actual travel much longer. Excludes your journey to the first stop, return home and shopping time. Check the route and current timing in Google Maps.
Your trip is empty. Choose “Add to trip” on a store card or map pin.
Longer trips open in groups of four stops so every stop is included on phones. Your saved trip stays in this browser and does not sync across devices. In private/incognito browsing, it is removed when you close the private session. Copy the share link to keep a portable version. A shared link contains only public store IDs.
No stores match these filters. Select another layer, broaden your search, or clear the filters.
A source check date records when a source page was reviewed. It is not a live opening status or a guarantee of inventory. Operator type is shown only when recorded or identifiable from a network brand; other entries remain unclassified. Closure notices are hidden until you choose to include them.
Browse every store profile by city
Open a city to browse its complete list. These links stay available while you use the filters and map above. A listed shop may have a closure notice; read its profile before planning a visit.
Confirm shopping hours, check the cost of shipping, and compare current sold listings before buying. Store-specific sales and restock claims need an official source.
