About Us

As one of the largest for-profit thrift operators in the United States, Canada and Australia for value priced pre-owned clothing, accessories and household goods, 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 funding for community-based programs and services. We are “Thrift Proud.” Learn more about the Savers family of thrift stores and the #ThriftProud movement at savers.com.
