New Goodwill opening in booming San Antonio thrift hotspot | MYSA

Goodbye Walgreens, hello deals. This area is becoming a bit of a thrifting destination.

There’s no question that a bit of a thrift store renaissance is underway in San Antonio. As prices soar, hitting pocketbooks harder and harder, thrift shopping has moved from a weekend hobby to a necessity for many families. And longtime contributor to the San Antonio thrift scene, Goodwill, is keeping in lock step with this increased demand.

The well-known second-hand retailer already has a 25 stores selling wares across the greater San Antonio area – and nearly another dozen donation stations – but it’s ushering in a new location. And it’s joining ranks of a booming thrift store market on the Northeast Side of the city.
