Thrift @ The Warehouse, a sustainability-focused thrift store, opened in Central Austin at the end of last year.
How it works
The thrift store allows people to buy, sell and trade their clothes, shoes, accessories and purses. Clothing racks are curated by styles, such as Y2K, 90s, band tees, boho and alternative, owner Tony Marlowe said.
Shoppers can participate in night markets featuring live music, DJs and vendors every fourth Friday from 6-11 p.m. Every third Saturday, the store hosts a fill-a-bag event from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in which shoppers can purchase a bag of items for $15.

The backstory
Thrift @The Warehouse first opened in San Antonio where it has multiple stores. The business began as a warehouse in which Marlowe was reselling items on Facebook Marketplace.
"Austin is an energetic city that we really like," Marlowe said. "It seemed to really be receiving sustainability pretty heavy."
Something to note
Through its zero waste initiative, the business recycles any donated clothes at a textile facility and gives the proceeds to local charities, Marlowe said.
Stay tuned
Thrift @ The Warehouse is planning to open another Austin store in May, Marlowe said.
