2nd Ave

2nd Ave is a for-profit global thrift retailer established in 1954 that offers gently used clothing, accessories, and household goods at its Columbia, Maryland location on Dobbin Road. Operating under a Rethink Reuse business model, the store diverts millions of pounds of reusable items from landfills annually and partners with over 100 nonprofit organizations by purchasing their donated goods, providing revenue to support their community programs. 2nd Ave is part of a larger retail enterprise operating over 300 locations across multiple brands, including Savers, Value Village, and Unique, though shopping at the store itself does not directly support nonprofits—only donations processed through their GreenDrop program do.
