We’re not your average thrift store. Thrift World is all about turning second-hand goods into first-rate finds—while making a real impact on the planet and our community. Since opening our doors in 1996 in Omaha, NE, we’ve grown from one shop into an 8-store thrifting empire spanning 3 states, with an export business and a thriving e-commerce store. (Yeah, we’ve been busy.)But we’re more than just a place to score vintage gems and killer deals. Every item you find at Thrift World helps us support local non-profit partners, create jobs, and keep perfectly good clothes and household items out of landfills. Think of us as treasure hunters with a mission—one thrifted item at a time.
Thrift World Business Model:
At Thrift World, we’re all about giving back—every item you purchase supports our local charity partners and helps reduce waste. Shopping with us means making a difference for your community and the planet, one thrifted find at a time.
OUR IMPACT
Here’s the not-so-fun fact: 17 million tons of textiles are thrown away in the U.S. every year. That’s roughly 112 pounds of clothes per person. The kicker? Two-thirds of this waste could be re-used or recycled, but only 15% of it actually is. We’re on a mission to change that. By keeping approximately 10 million pounds of textiles and goods out of landfills each year, we’re turning potential waste into real-world value. Because what’s good for your closet should be good for the planet too.
Thrifting today, for a better world tomorrow—now that’s something we can all get behind.
