Underground Thrift Store

The Underground Thrift Shop is a basement-level thrift store located at 705 S Higgins Avenue in Missoula, Montana, operated by the Missoula Senior Center. Established over 50 years ago as an outgrowth of the senior center’s original rummage sale, the shop offers an eclectic selection of vintage and contemporary merchandise including clothing, books, VHS tapes, and other donated items. Open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the store accepts donations and operates on a nonprofit model where all profits directly support the Missoula Senior Center’s programs and services. The shop has become a cherished community institution, serving both university students and long-time residents who appreciate its affordable prices and unique inventory, while contributions from donations and sales have significantly grown in recent years.
