Who We Are

As one of the largest for-profit thrift operators in the United States, Canada, and Australia, our mission is to champion reuse and inspire a future where secondhand is second nature.

We purchase these items directly from our nonprofit partners, redirecting billions of pounds of used items away from landfills and onto our store racks and shelves for reuse, while providing our partners with valuable funding for their community-based programs and services. We are "Thrift Proud," supported by millions of loyal customers, over 300 stores, and more than 22,000 team members.
