Owner Michele Jurkowski has always loved the excitement of finding that perfect item or hidden gem at a steal of a price, but says it typically came with a thrift store smell and hours of digging through random racks. “I had a vision to create the perfect resale store where patrons could still get the discounted costs,” she shares, “better quality items, while in a more intimate setting and boutique vibe.” When Jurkowski was faced with unemployment, she took it as a sign to follow her dream. The 330 Thrift offers a variety of women and men’s clothing, shoes and accessories, in sizes ranging from zero to 24. “All of our clothing is personally handpicked, washed and ironed before hitting our racks,” she says. “Our inventory is added to daily and we rotate our clothing out monthly to keep the options fresh.” Jurkowski is a big advocate of recycling and protecting the environment. “Unused clothing that ends up in our landfills is not only a waste of money but takes 200-plus years to decompose, resulting in toxins finding their way to our groundwater and soil,” she says. “Shopping resale helps keep these items out of the landfills and into the hands of someone who could use them.”
