As I was searching for information on thrift stores in Pinellas County, I was disheartened by the lack of resources specific to the area. While there is a great website, thethriftshopper.com, that will list stores in a given area, and has ratings available, I found the ratings somewhat meaningless and just wanted to know the straight facts on a store.
After visiting a whole slew of stores in Pinellas (and a few in Tampa) I figured that there's no reason not to compile the information myself.
While I make no guarantees on frequency of posts or updates on the stores offerings, I do endeavor to do the following for the thrift stores that I visit:
- List their address and provide landmarks for easy finding
- Provide hours/days of operation
- Describe offerings, weekly specials
- Photos of the storefront, and if permitted, within the store itself
- What group/charity (if applicable) the store benefits, and services that organization provides
I believe that says it all.
Hoping you are well,
Pinellas Thrifter
