Hello, I'm Michael, the site owner and forum administrator

[Good Buddy]

Hello everyone and welcome to our website! We're so glad you stopped by. I'm Michael, and this website is owned and operated by me and my wife Cookie. We really love thrifting, and we created this site to give thrift shoppers the thrift store information they're looking for right at their fingertips.  

We also wanted to bring thrift store owners and managers together to share ideas on improving efficiency and profitability in their stores as well as tips on organization, placement of merchandise, and pricing.   Please tell our current and future Thrift Industry Forum members a little about you, your thrift store, and the charity your store benefits.

There's an entire forum just for charity chat, so you can really expand on all the great things your charity does there.  If you have any problems or questions, just shoot me an e-mail and I'll be there to help as soon as I can.  

Thanks for being a part of our forum, and we hope you enjoy participating.

Michael, owner and adminstrator

I want to thank you = I received a very nice phone call yesterday which turned me onto this site = I must say this is a very needed site and looks great from what I have seen.  I am Teri, I am the Area Supervisor for Salvation Army I have 2 stores right now and I am soon to open a 3rd.  I love what I do.

Hi Michael and Cookie,
 what a great job your doing on this site! Thank so much for advertising our store. You can be sure I will print out all the thrift store addresses in Colorado Springs and Denver! I need to make sure I have been to all of them!
   I know this isnt the proper place to bring this up but...how about having a window/display contest?  No need to have a prize, just to have fun!
  thanks,
