At 550 First Colonial Road, a short drive from Virginia Beach Town Center and the corridor of shopping and civic buildings that has grown up around First Colonial High School, sits one of four CHKD Thrift Store locations serving the city of Virginia Beach. Like its sister stores, this shop turns community donations of clothing, shoes, furniture, electronics, books, DVDs, bicycles, artwork, and sporting goods into direct funding for Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, the pediatric hospital that has depended on thrift store revenue since the CHKD Thrift Store program began in 1986 with a single Norfolk shop. That program has since grown to twenty two stores stretching from Petersburg and Richmond down through Hampton Roads and into Elizabeth City and Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, together returning more than two million dollars annually to CHKD’s mission of treating children regardless of a family’s ability to pay. The First Colonial Road store keeps the same welcoming hours as the rest of the network, open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, so a trip can fit around a workday commute along First Colonial Road or a weekend errand run near the Town Center shops nearby. Shoppers who plan around the discount calendar tend to get the best value: Monday is Military Day, offering active duty and retired service members 25 percent off in a part of Virginia Beach with a substantial military and veteran population, while Tuesday is Customer Appreciation Day, extending that same 25 percent discount to every customer who walks in. Law enforcement, first responders, and seniors 55 and older each get their own designated discount day as well, rotating recognition across the groups who make up much of the surrounding neighborhood’s workforce and retirees. For anyone looking to clear out a home rather than shop one, CHKD’s Southside region offers free donation pickups Monday through Friday year round, removing the hassle of loading a car and letting larger furniture or bulk clothing donations reach the shop without a special trip. Because everything on the racks and shelves arrived as a donation, the selection changes constantly, rewarding shoppers who make the First Colonial Road store a regular stop rather than a once a year visit, since a slow week for clothing might be a great week for furniture or electronics. The location’s position near Virginia Beach’s Town Center area also means it draws shoppers running other errands nearby, picking up a quick furniture or clothing find on the way to or from the shopping district a short drive away. For families and bargain hunters throughout central Virginia Beach, this CHKD Thrift Store offers the same reliable mix of steep discounts, rotating inventory, and charitable purpose found at its sister locations, anchored specifically to the First Colonial Road corridor. In one sentence, the CHKD Thrift Store at 550 First Colonial Road in Virginia Beach sells donated clothing, furniture, and household goods at deep discounts on a rotating weekly schedule, with all proceeds funding pediatric care at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters.
