About us.

As the largest (for-profit) thrift retailer in the United States and Canada, our mission is to make secondhand, second nature. From the thrill of the hunt to the joy of decluttering, we help communities harness the power of pre-loved stuff to keep reusable items around for years to come.

Between 2017-2021 alone we diverted over 3.2 billion pounds of reusable items out of landfills and paid $615 million to our nonprofit partners for secondhand clothing and household goods, helping support vitally needed programs in our communities.

We provide a mainstream, contemporary retail experience unmatched in thrift.

  • Visually pleasing layout and design

  • Well-merchandised with one-of-a-kind items

Thrift is thriving.

83% of consumers have engaged with a thrift store in the last 12 months as shoppers, donors, or both. More than 1 in 4 consumers have purchased apparel from a secondhand store in the last year alone; 1 in 3 Gen Z consumers have shopped thrift in the last 12 months.

Unbeatable value.

Consumers are increasingly price-conscious, with fully 60% of shoppers saying they care more about how much they are paying for apparel.

Individual style.

Over 50% of consumers care more about having a unique style (versus following the latest fashion trends) than they did three years ago.

Thrifters love shopping physical stores.

Some 70% of secondhand shoppers prefer to shop in-store, while only 1 in 10 consumers have shopped online resale in the past year. A big reason is the "treasure hunt" experience, with three-quarters of secondhand shoppers saying thrifting is fun and entertaining.
