Amid the current economic climate, secondhand stores have proven a welcome resource for shoppers looking to maintain style on a budget, and the industry has remained strong. To maintain a fresh selection of merchandise -- more than 5,000 new items are placed on the sales floor daily at each location -- Savers/Value Village operates a unique business model that works with non-profits. Each store aligns with a local non-profit, and Savers/Value Village pays them for all clothing and household goods the non-profit collects from the community, as well as items donated directly to the stores.

The items are then sorted, and the highest quality items are value priced and placed on the sales floor, while items not suitable for resale are sent to developing countries to benefit people in need. Under this model, Savers pays out more than $117 million annually to the non-profits it aligns with, and keeps more than 500 million pounds out of goods annually.
