Utah Thrift Store Sourcing Guide

The routes, the stores, and the items worth hunting. Everything a Utah reseller needs to source smarter.

The Utah Circuit

  1. 1

    Deseret Industries (The DI)

    Utah's signature thrift chain. High volume donations, consistent pricing, and the best odds for vintage finds. Hit multiple locations on the same day for maximum coverage.

  2. 2

    Goodwill Outlet (The Bins)

    Pay-by-the-pound pricing means insane margins if you're willing to dig. Best for clothing, accessories, and small electronics. Arrive early — the serious flippers show up at open.

  3. 3

    Savers

    Higher prices than DI but better curation. Strong for brand-name clothing and housewares. Weekend color tag sales can make margins work.

  4. 4

    KSL Classifieds

    Utah's local marketplace — estate sale listings, bulk lots, and motivated sellers. Set alerts for keywords in your niche.

  5. 5

    NPS Store (National Park Service)

    Surplus outdoor gear from national parks. Seasonal availability but incredible margins on branded outdoor equipment.

  6. 6

    Estate Sales & Storage Auctions

    The highest ceiling for profit. Estate sales in Draper, Alpine, and Park City often yield premium items at garage sale prices.
