A trip to the charming town of Selinsgrove means a mandatory visit to a massive thrift store that boasts thousands of items while lending a helping hand to the community. But, this thrift store also holds another distinction that no other thrift shop in the country can claim: It is America’s largest thrift store.
Claiming 74,000 square feet of space, Community Thrift Store & Donation Center in Selinsgrove has earned the title of America’s largest thrift store.
