About America's Thrift Stores

America’s Thrift Stores is a for-profit thrift store & operates in the southeastern US. We are headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama & operate retail stores in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, & Louisiana, providing over 1,000 jobs in the communities we are a part of.

Ways we give back:

- We give over $3 million to our charity partners annually

- We keep over 45 million pounds of donatable goods out of landfills each year

- We are able to provide the best values for shoppers so they can clothe their families and outfit their homes

It starts with a donation network of over 2,300 locations, including community donation centers, store donation centers, & free home pickups. We take donations of gently used clothing and other household items, sell them in our stores at an affordable price, & contribute a portion of our profits to our 6 different charity partners. Our goal is to donate $100 million to our charity partners in 10 years.

At America’s Thrift Stores, we pride ourselves on offering the biggest selection of affordable clothing, shoes, homewares, & more to the community. We refresh each of our stores with over 10,000 unique items every single day, which is where we got the tagline “Where it’s a new store every day.” It’s because it’s true!

We like to say that we're “not your mama’s thrift store” because we keep our floors organized down to the department, category, & even size so our customers can find what they’re looking for for the best prices in town.

It's safe to say our team is passionate. We believe in the charity partners we serve & making a difference in our communities. We like to have fun, & we are proud of the company culture we've created at ATS. We truly are one big family!
