America's Thrift Stores To Open On Brainerd Road

  • Friday, June 20, 2025

America’s Thrift Stores announces the opening of its newest store, coming to 5844 Brainerd Road. The opening will be on Wednesday and is the 32nd store in the chain.

The East Brainerd store opening will showcase 40+ categories in Women’s, Men’s, and Kids’ apparel, home goods, handbags, shoes, and other items. America’s Thrift Stores is known for restocking thousands of new items every day—staying true to its tagline, “Where it’s a New Store Every Day.” With up to 70 percent off the pricing of name-brand clothing and household goods, the store reinvents itself daily with donations from local and surrounding communities. This new location will also accept donations, including gently used clothing, electronics and household goods.

America’s Thrift gives back in several ways to its communities. It’s estimated that its stores keep over 60 million pounds of goods out of local landfills annually. Additionally, donations benefit the local community through a local partnership with Adult & Teen Challenge MidSouth. “For every pound of goods donated, we make a cash donation to Adult & Teen Challenge MidSouth, which helps men and women with addiction recovery services,” said Ken Sobaski, CEO of America’s Thrift.

America’s Thrift Stores relies on the generous donations of the local community to collect used clothing and household items, which they then resell those items back to the community and share profits with charities, providing funding to help them improve lives affected by substance abuse, and assist children with illnesses.
