About Map Thrift

Map Thrift is a clearer map of real secondhand shops, kept more accurate over time.

Most thrift directories are long lists of links, thin pages, and ads that cover what you came to read. We think finding a good thrift shop should feel like opening a good paper map: calm, clear, and honest.

Where the data comes from

Shop locations come from OpenStreetMap, the free map built by volunteers around the world. We refresh it every week and fold in corrections from shop owners. When you fix something on OpenStreetMap, everyone benefits, including us.

What we will never do

We will not invent stores, write fake reviews, sell a better rank, or cover the page with popups. Any paid spot will be clearly labeled.

How we make money

Right now, we do not. Later, independent shops will be able to add a clearly labeled featured spot. Listings stay free.
