Inside EcoThrift

About EcoThrift: The Essentials

For clothing and shoes, accessories, electronics, housewares and furniture, toys, tools and more, it’s hard to find a more exhilarating retail experience than EcoThrift. It’s hard for anyone to leave an EcoThrift store empty handed. As innovators in our industry, we currently operate high-volume stores in Hayward, Pomona, Sacramento, Citrus Heights, San Bernardino, Stockton and Vallejo.
​
Eco Thrift is privately held, and led by founder Greg Ellison. Our deeply held values have helped us become California’s largest-volume for-profit thrift store company

Mission & Values

Our Mission Is Driven By Our Values

We'd like to share our deeply held values, the ones that drive us to deliver things our customers need or just plain want, at truly remarkable prices.

We’ve built an entire business upon our unwavering belief in the inherent dignity of people. The dignity of our customers—who come from every walk of life—and our family of employees.
​
It requires us to be a much different business than you might expect.

History

The EcoThrift story actually begins long before EcoThrift itself. From the beginning, we’ve been on the leading edge of recycling, repurposing and reusing. 

Merchandise

If you’ve been inside an Eco Thrift, you know right away there’s something different about us.
One difference: From the start, we’ve invested in research and development for new ways to deliver huge quantities of great items at remarkable prices.

Careers

We look for managers and hourly workers who share our deeply held values.
Our work requires creativity. Individually and as a team, we make thousands of decisions each day to improve our bottom line, our communities, and our customers’ lives.
