IMPACT

Secondhand stores are a crucial part of closing the recycling loop. Each year, hundreds of thousands of items find new homes and new lives from the Gold Mine.

HISTORY

In 1955, seventeen women had a vision to create a thrift store to help support the valley’s first library. Nearly 70 years later, their vision has now become arguably the most iconic thrift store in the West.

“In Sun Valley, locals spread their passion evenly between powder and supporting the town’s literary heritage. Much of this support comes from The Gold Mine, a sixty-year-old thrift shop that uses 100% of its proceeds to fund cultural happenings at The Community Library.”

~Ski Magazine, November 2021
