What are some of the well-known chain thrift stores?

Goodwill Industries and the Salvation Army operate thrift store chains in most major cities throughout the United States. In addition, Habitat for Humanity also operates hundreds of ReStore locations near its many Habitat For Humanity chapter locations.

All of these chain thrift stores operate on a nonprofit basis, with sales from the items in the stores dedicated to furthering the charities they represent. Goodwill and Salvation Army stores sell clothing, household goods and other items, while Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations mainly sell building supplies and furniture. Each store depends on donations from the community for inventory, so an ever-changing number of items are for sale.
