How do thrift stores help the community?

Question

I am looking to open a second hand store, I need to know how a thirft store would benefit the community.

Answer 1

1 - They give thrifty people a chance to buy something for 10% of it's original price.

2 - They allow low income people to buy things that they could not otherwise afford.

3 - They keep the landfills from filling up with stuff that people would have thrown away even though it would still be useful to someone else.

4 - It makes people feel good when they donate their used items to someone who can still use them.

5 - It creates jobs.

Answer 2

It would help poor people afford to buy clothing, household goods, toys, books, etc. Those able to donate would be able to recycle the belongings they no longer needed or wanted.

There are also people who, although they're not poor, prefer to buy second hand for ecological reasons. By having a second hand store, you would be contributing to saving the planet.
