Thrift Stores Gear Up for Resale Boom Amid Tariffs

U.S. thrift chains report inventory upgrades and store expansions as apparel tariffs drive shoppers toward second‑hand bargains. Industry analysts expect the resale market to jump 15% this year, outpacing traditional retail.

What this means for you:
Higher new‑clothing prices make thrifting a smarter wallet‑ and planet‑friendly option—expect better finds on the racks.
Sellers of lightly worn fashion could earn more cash or store credit as demand climbs.
Brands may roll out their own buy‑back programs, so hanging onto quality pieces could pay off later.
