I sell a wide diversity of products at an affordable price, including clothing, cookware, crafts, garage and tools, sporting goods, and more! I also have a rentals business to rent our outdoor games and sports equipment for people to use. I recently started selling products online, so some products are available nationwide.

Our Story
In 2019, I had to quit my job to move home and help take care of my father. He had been paralyzed for most of my life and my mom had been his primary care giver for more than a decade.

He had been paralyzed for most of my life and my mom had been his primary care giver for more than a decade. I grew up in Babbitt so I knew what the community had to offer and what it was in need of. The closest place to buy clothing, furniture, household goods, etc. is almost an hour away. That is how the thrift store idea came to be. It is a great way for the community to donate their gently used items or the stuff they don't need anymore and its also a great way for people to buy the stuff they need at an affordable price. Now my dog Mia and I run the store and now we are looking to expand as the space I am in does not work anymore. I just need someone to take a chance on me and my business.
