Gold& SilverThrift
Where everyone hits paydirt.
$1ALL CLOTHING $1 EACH
A thrift store where the price is the price — every item, every day.
Same as the tee beside it.
The price board
No tags. Just the sign.
Every item in a category costs the same. Prices live on shelf signs, not stickers — so there’s nothing to hunt for and nothing marked up because it looks valuable.

The price is the price. No individual tags. No markups on the good stuff.
How the prices work
A formula, not a guess.
Each category’s price comes from simple math about what it costs to keep the doors open — not from what an item might fetch online.
Add up the real costs
Rent, utilities and everything else it takes to run the store each month, plus payroll for the people who work there.
Add a modest profit
Enough to keep the store healthy and here for the long haul — nothing more.
Divide by what sells
Split it across the number of items expected to sell in each category. That number goes on the sign.
No item is ever priced by what it might fetch. A designer jacket costs the same as the t-shirt beside it.
Who’s behind it
A neighbor, not a chain.
Gold and Silver Thrift is being opened by a local owner-operator with 20 years of retail management experience — including launching and running online grocery pickup at the Walmart in Geneseo, NY.
The founder knows what it takes to move a lot of product, staff a busy floor and keep customers coming back. Now that experience goes into one store, in one town, built to stay. The owner will be on the floor, not in a corporate office somewhere else.

Some things aren’t for sale.
The store doesn’t sell furniture. Donated furniture goes — free — to the people in the community who need it most.
Local families
Beds, tables and other furniture for neighbors setting up or starting over.
Fire victims
Help for families who’ve lost their homes and need the basics again, fast.
Schools
Furniture and supplies routed to local classrooms.
Every week, serviceable items are pulled from donations for direct giving — before they ever hit the sales floor.
FAQ
The questions everyone asks.
Seriously — how is clothing $1?
Flat pricing. Each category’s price is set by a formula: the store’s monthly costs, plus payroll, plus a modest profit, divided by the number of items expected to sell in that category. Clothing moves in big volume, so the math lands at $1 an item. No item is ever priced by what it might fetch — and it’s the everyday shelf price, not a sale.
Do you sell furniture?
No. Donated furniture is given, free, to local families who need it, fire victims and schools.
When do donation drop-offs open?
Spring 2027. Details on hours and what we accept will be posted here.
Where exactly is the store?
Mt. Morris, NY. The exact location will be announced when the lease is signed.
