Thrift Stores in Memphis: The Verified Thrift + Vintage Map

The best thrift stores in Memphis still run along Summer Avenue, the long east–west strip where charity shops, discount outlets, and antique malls have shared parking lots for decades. Around it sits a wider map: big donation-fed stores in East Memphis and Raleigh, a handful of serious vintage shops in Midtown, kids' resale out east, and Goodwill stores from Millington to Hernando.

So we checked all of it. Twenty-one stores, every one verified at its own site in October 2026, with the hours the stores themselves publish, what they take as donations, and a short list of names that have closed. For booth-by-booth antique hunting, our Memphis antique stores guide covers the Summer Avenue antique malls, Sheffield's in Collierville, and the flea market's new home. — Josh

Summer Avenue, the thrift spine

Start here. Repeat Boutique anchors the strip, and the antique malls in our antique stores guide fill in the blocks around it. Summer also has a run of smaller independent thrift and discount stores that don't post hours online, so we haven't listed them; they're easy to spot from the car.

• Junior League of Memphis Repeat BoutiqueHighland Heights, 3586 Summer Ave

  Open since the 1940s, and run by the Junior League the whole time. Clothing, shoes, and accessories for all ages, plus housewares and home furnishings, mostly donated by League members, with every sale funding the Junior League's community programs. Tue–Sat 10am–5pm. Donations go to the back door (northeast side) Tue–Sat 10:30am–4pm. Closed on major holidays, including Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Closed or changed, so you don't drive to an empty lot

Goodwill's Austin Peay Highway store is permanently closed, per Goodwill's own locations map, and so is its old Collierville donation center on Market Boulevard. On Summer Avenue, the Disabled American Veterans thrift store and Thrift Citi are both gone from the strip. Several smaller vintage names we looked for, including Fox+Cat Vintage on Central, had no working website in October 2026; check their social accounts before you go. Everything listed above was confirmed at its own site this month, and this page gets updated when the map moves.

A cheap Saturday on Summer Avenue pairs well with the rest of our free things to do in Memphis, and our Memphis neighborhoods guide explains where Highland Heights, Berclair, and the rest of the strip fit.
