New Riverview Thrift Store Promises Major Job Boost and Sustainable Shopping

A new era for bargain hunters and sustainable shoppers is dawning in Riverview.

The eagerly awaited Red White & Blue Thrift Store is preparing for its grand opening, a move that promises not only a vast new retail space but also a significant economic injection for the local community.

Located at 7415 US-301, the massive 35,000-square-foot store is poised to become a landmark destination for affordable apparel and home furnishings in the Tampa Bay area.

The grand opening is scheduled for Thursday, October 10, with a public ribbon-cutting ceremony planned for 8:45 a.m. just before the doors officially open at 9 a.m.

This isn't just another store opening; it's a major employment event.

The new thriftstore location is bringing a welcome surge of 70 new jobs to Riverview, with positions available in sales, production, and various other roles.

"We’re excited to bring Red White & Blue Thrift to the Riverview community," said Angie Antunez, the new store's General Manager.

She emphasized the dual mission of the expansion: providing affordable, repurposed items while promoting a cycle of reuse that benefits both the environment and local residents.

For shoppers, the scale of the operation is staggering.

The store plans to add over 10,000 new items to its sales floor every single day, ensuring an ever-changing treasure trove for thrifters, families, and resellers.

This constant refresh is a core part of the company's model, which has been redefining second-hand shopping for nearly 60 years across the country.

The expansion into Riverview reflects a growing trend in the Tampa Bay area towards more sustainable and eco-conscious retail options.

By giving high-quality goods a second life, the store directly contributes to reducing landfill waste.

Operating hours will be Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
