A low-slung brick warehouse in a busy part of Bushwick will house Big Reuse’s latest venture: A thrift store for home goods and clothing. The store at 378 Troutman St. will carry books, dishes, glasses, and other homewares.

“We take in a lot more stuff and a greater variety of stuff than most thrift stores do,” Big Reuse Executive Director Justin Green told Brooklyn Paper’s sister site Brownstoner. “That is something we bring, a commitment to put as much as possible into reuse, and our Gowanus store has been super busy recently. There seems to be a real surge of interest in thrifting and reusing stuff and it felt like we have the momentum to keep going forward.”

The nonprofit chose Bushwick because it is already busy with projects in the neighborhood and the area is a hub for thrifting.
