We are a consignment shop - not just a thrift store!
About us
Welcome to
​Athens Thrift & Kids Mart
We are a unique, small business located at
​100 US Hwy 72 E., Athens, AL 35611.  
​​Call 256-233-4947.
(Major crossroad is Jefferson St., Athens, AL - near the train trestle overpass)

Our focus is helping people make money on items they've consigned during our seasonal sales and for shoppers to get fabulous deals on new and gently used items.

What we do.
We are a 25+ year old seasonal retail consignment store that offers 2 seasonal sales (each 3-months long) per year - one in the spring is called the Spring/Summer Seasonal Sale and another in fall is called the Fall/Winter Seasonal Sale.

Each seasonal sale runs about 3-months in length.  We then close our doors for 3-months to get ready for the next sale.
3-months on, 3-months off - repeat.

At the end of each seasonal sale, we offer an Everything's $1.00 Rummage Sale where every single item in the store is $1.00 each. It's so much fun!

We don't just have things for kids - we have everything under the sun for all ages.

Here's a list of some of the things we offer:
​furniture, jewelry, adult and teen clothes for men, women, teens, juniors, kids and yes, babies, shoes, tools, sporting equipment, purses, art, craft items, linens, kitchen small appliances, glassware, flatware, pots and pans, pillows, baskets, toys, games, bikes, baby equipment, electronics, sewing machines, frames, pictures, paintings, books for everyone, boots, gowns, yard equipment, stools, chairs, tables, home decor, seasonal items, pet supplies, dishes, yarn, sewing crafts, lamps, ceiling fans, and much more.  

Because we are a seasonal sale, you will find items that fit the season and holidays within that season.

We clean out the store at the end of each seasonal sales, so you won't find items there from year to year.  You will always find new and gently used items from season to season.

Why we are different.
Things that make us different from other consignment shops -

  1. We do NOT charge the consignor/contributor/seller a sign up fee to participate in our sales.
  2. Anyone with good, quality, not out-of-date, super clean, in working order items is welcome to sell their items at our store.
  3. We constantly get in new and gently used clean items and empty out the store to the bare walls after each sale - you'll never see the same stuff over and over again that hasn't sold during past sales.
  4. You, as a consignor, can make 50% of the price YOU set on your items if they sell.
  5. You, as a consignor, can shop our "contributor/consignor only" early sale events.
  6. We have over 1,000 consignors - or as we sometimes call the contributors.
  7. You can always donate items if you don't want to be a consignor/contributor.
  8. It's a great way to make money and clean out your closets, sheds, garages, and more.
  9. It's always fun!
