Why We Exist
ThriftSmart exists to provide value to customers, opportunity for employees, and benefit to charities by operating the best thrift stores in the world and promoting thrifty living – all for God’s glory.
Unlike many thrift stores, 100% of our proceeds benefit local nonprofits. ThriftSmart is a 501c3 organization. Each donation of clothes or goods benefits the lives of others. Choosing to donate to, or shop at ThriftSmart is a choice to make the most impact with your donation. Smart.
Our ThriftSmart story began with the opening of our first thrift store in 2005. Our founders Dick Gygi and Tres Scheibe served on the boards of a number of Nashville-area nonprofits, for which they were frequently fundraising. They teamed up to start ThriftSmart as a nonprofit social enterprise that would generate ongoing revenue streams to help these other charities thrive and decrease their reliance solely on fundraising. Over the years, ThriftSmart has been able to donate over one million dollars to our four beneficiaries.
WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT LIVING SMART AND WE’RE HERE TO SERVE.
