Thrift World is a retail thrift store business with eight locations across Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri. The company partners with non-profit organizations to promote recycling and reuse of used clothing, accessories, and household goods, while also creating local jobs and increasing awareness for their non-profit partners. Customers have found a varied selection of moderately priced second-hand items at Thrift World, especially in the plus-size section. However, some reviewers have expressed concerns about high prices, with certain items costing as much as $20 for a t-shirt. The stores generally offer fitting rooms, which is appreciated by shoppers. While the selection is often praised, the shopping experience can be mixed. Some customers have reported inattentive cashiers and issues with fragile items being improperly packaged, leading to breakage. Additionally, one reviewer warned about a bedbug problem encountered during a holiday sale. Overall, Thrift World provides a thrifting experience, with both positive and negative aspects reported by customers. The company's mission to support non-profits and promote sustainability through recycling and reuse is appreciated, but shoppers may need to carefully evaluate prices and exercise caution when making purchases.
