The Savers family of stores is a for-profit, global thrift retailer offering great quality, gently used clothing, accessories, and household goods. Their Rethink Reuse business model of purchasing, reselling, and recycling gives communities a smart way to shop and keeps more than 700 million pounds of used goods from landfills each year. Savers also helps over 100 nonprofit organizations by purchasing donated goods from them, providing a source of revenue to support their vital community programs and services. With over 300 locations and 22,000 employees, their brands include Savers, Value Village, Unique, and Village des Valeurs. Customers describe Savers as a great place to find slightly used clothes, though they note the lack of dressing rooms can make returns necessary. While it used to be easy to find "cool stuff" daily, some customers have noticed fewer new items on the shelves in recent times. Prices are also reported to have increased, with some feeling the items are now below average quality for the cost. However, many still enjoy the "thrifty treasure hunting fun" and the occasional great score at Savers.
