Ohio Thrift Store

Ohio Thrift is a for-profit thrift store chain that has operated in Ohio since the late 1980s, with 16 locations primarily concentrated in central Ohio. The Athens location, situated at 918 E. State Street across from Kroger, opened in late 2025 and offers a rotating inventory of clothing, shoes, electronics, kitchen ware, and furniture. The company processes thousands of items daily and is committed to environmental sustainability, recycling approximately 4 million pounds of material annually. Ohio Thrift’s expansion to Athens created 20 to 30 job opportunities for the local community, with positions ranging from $12 to $20 per hour based on experience.
