Thrift Stores near Soddy-Daisy, TN

“Went here for the first time this past Friday. I must say I was treated so much better here than the Red Bank location which I live 2 min away from. I will be traveling further out from now on to Soddy for better items and way better service. Thank you!”

“Under new ownership! No longer smells like cigarettes & they’re working on organizing everything. It’s fun to find treasures in here! Definitely worth checking out again!”

“Always a great experience when I come into this store! This store is always clean and staff is on point! We live in Ringgold but I don’t mind the drive when I am looking for certain things or my teenagers want to come browse! I wish I could remember the girls name that checked me out because she had great customer service! She also helped me in the dressing room very promptly! Most of the time in clothing establishments..you have to wait for so long! Great store!!! Thank you!”

“They have no business playing such good music. Every time. Today I left there with some clothes, a dresser, and three new songs in my Spotify library. The cashiers always seem to be friendly and full of personality. Probably because their music slaps and puts them in a good mood.”

“This is one of the best thrift stores I have found. The prices are reasonable for those shopping on a tight budget. They have a good costume jewelry selection. Unfortunately most of it is beyond the reach of wheelchair users. Great selections of clothing, toys, and such.”

“Me and my daughter stopped by looking for little people! They were so nice. The store was very clean. They actually had 1 set left they gave us for free because it needed cleaned. If you look for little people you know how kind that was. My baby is going to love it.”

“Came in today and thrifted a classical guitar and guitar bag for only like 80 bucks! guitar in amazing condition for the price, and the bag was of amazing quality. Also found some other cool things, i will be back here for sure! Fair prices and nice employees.”

“In the heart of Redbank, Tennessee, nestled between the comforting aroma of Lilly Mae’s diner and the shining sedans of the local car dealership, stands Red Bank Thrift—a store with as much charm and character as its owner, Chris Shirley.

Chris, a spirited Georgia Bulldogs fan, has infused Red Bank Thrift with an eclectic mix of sports memorabilia, making it a shrine to his beloved team. Visitors can always count on a hearty debate about last weekend's game or a spirited prediction for the season ahead, all delivered with Chris's signature grin.

But beyond the Bulldog banners and game-day chatter, Chris’s true passion lies in serving those around him. Red Bank Thrift is much more than a store; it's a sanctuary for people from all walks of life, especially those facing tough times.

Whenever a devastating house fire strikes someone in the community, Chris is the first to step up, providing clothes, furniture, and whatever else he can gather from his shelves. “No one should feel lost or alone,” he'll say as he hands over a bundle of essentials to those who need them, ensuring a swift return to dignified daily life.

As the chill of winter rolls over Redbank, Red Bank Thrift transforms into a warm refuge for the homeless. Chris extends an invitation to anyone seeking shelter from the biting cold. With floors lined in blankets and hot meals dished out with a side of cheer, the store becomes a sanctuary. Soup pots simmer over converted hot plates, and the laughter and conversations shared beneath the glow of overhead lights provide warmth beyond what any temperature can measure.

During these quiet, comforting evenings, Chris shares more than just food and warmth. He speaks of his faith with an earnest simplicity, witnessing to his guests about Jesus and the promises of hope and salvation. His words offer an added layer of solace, encouraging others to find faith in difficult times.

Amid juggling the shop, helping those in need, and indulging in his beloved Bulldogs, Chris somehow manages to make each person feel valued and important. Whether finding the perfect warm coat for a shivering shoulder or sharing a hot cup of coffee over tales of past games, Chris's presence is a constant source of joy and support.

For those lucky enough to call Chris a friend, his kindness is an unending source of inspiration. While his plate seems impossibly full, Chris always finds room for one more act of selflessness. His actions don’t merely serve; they uplift and unite the community, knitting together the lives of many who visit his little store on the corner of Redbank.

In a world often shadowed by challenges, Chris Shirley shines a bright light, showing everyone that true wealth lies not in possessions, but in the depth of giving and the strength of friendship.”

“Becca always has the friendliest smile and attitude. She is our favorite checkout employee of all. We always enjoy shopping at the Hixson Goodwill because of the great employees. We do find that the prices have gotten completely out of hand though. We have been shopping at this location for several years and the prices increase is insane. Yes we understand that a large percentage of the profit goes back into the organization, however, the items are donated!!! We have found so many items that are 80 - 90 percent of retail. I think you tend to forget, these are used items and not new. We saw two matching pieces of furniture. Obviously they went together. One was 59.99, the other one was 79.99! ??? I actually found an item at Home Depot cheaper than the used item on your shelf!!!”
