I love going to thrift shops!  You never know what kind of gems will be found!
Yeah, A charity shop or thrift shop is a retail establishment that usually is set up to raise money
So, you are saying the profits are used for the benefit of others?
Most of the time yes, They are a social enterprise
That makes me feel better about shopping there.  When did thrift shops start popping up?
They have been around for years but They sell mainly used goods such as clothing, books, music albums, home videos
Who are some of the biggest players in the thrift shop sector?
I think Goodwill is still the biggest. Because the items for sale were obtained for free, and business costs are low
Who specifically do their profits go towards helping?
It depends on the company. One of the earliest charity shops was set up by the Wolverhampton Society they sent the money to the blind.
