Bluffton is known for great shopping, including outlet malls and quaint boutiques. Nestled among the many shops in Sheridan Center, locals and tourists alike have discovered a hidden gem where the elegance of a high-end boutique meets the charming character of a secondhand store. The Palmetto Animal League Thrift Store offers designer labels and vintage finds all for a great cause.
“Our mission is to accept quality, gently used donations and sell them at reasonable prices to help care for over 300 homeless pets at PAL’s no kill adoption center in Okatie,” explains PAL President Amy Campanini.
Shoppers come in search of distinctive pieces waiting to be discovered and cherished anew. They feel good when they’re greeted with a smile and leave knowing that every purchase supports the rescue of at-risk animals right here in our area.
“What started as a modest, little thrift store to help PAL save lives has become a boutique thrifting experience,” says PAL Development Coordinator Stephanie Bashaw. “PAL Thrift offers a curated, meticulously organized selection of furniture, artwork, housewares, linens, antiques, men’s and women’s clothing, collectibles, fine china, crystal, jewelry, designer bags, and much more.”
Thrift stores have long been a part of the fabric of our Lowcountry community. But with luxury, designer labels, antiques, and an exclusive boutique department, PAL Thrift is not your ordinary thrift store!
“Every day, we welcome new customers who have never shopped with us before, and they love their experience,” says Bashaw. “The minute people step into our inviting space, it becomes clear that every item in our collection is chosen with care.”
From elegant, reasonably priced items to pieces with character and impeccable craftsmanship, PAL Thrift has something for everyone. How can the store offer so many unique, specialty finds all in one place? Quality donations from people like you keep shoppers coming back to see what’s new.
“People donate beautiful, designer furniture pieces, and when they hit the floor, they don’t last long,” says Bashaw. “If you have a large item to donate, we offer complimentary pickup by a professional moving team, and we also offer local delivery for a fee.”
The PAL Thrift Store, which opened its doors in 2015 to support our growing grassroots animal rescue, is now a fine-tuned collaborative effort between our helpful staff and friendly volunteers to maximize the wonderful items so graciously donated by the community.
Find out how your purchases and quality donations at PAL Thrift give abandoned, abused, and neglected animals a second chance at life. Visit Palmettoanimalleague.org/thrift or stop by our store at 1 Sherington Drive where great buys save lives.
