Frontier Industries Thrift Store, or more commonly known as just Frontier Thrift, is one of the more popular thrift stores in Johnson City. This store has just about anything you could imagine. It has many desks, book shelves and it has a lot of couches and comfortable chairs. Surprisingly, it even has a very nice selection of mattresses that are extremely clean.

They are a little more on the pricey side, most of them being about $150, but they are huge and look more like they’ve never even been used. The desks are all about $20, though some are $30, and the couches are between $30-50. The comfortable chairs are $15-20 and are very well kept and very unique looking.

They currently have a sale going on for paperback books: you can buy a bag of paperbacks for $4. Paperbacks are usually 50 cents each and hardbacks are a $1.50, and they have magazines for a quarter.

It is definitely worth going for the books because they have such a huge selection.

They have a great selection of figurines and framed pictures that would accentuate your walls and shelves very nicely. The framed pictures are no more than a $1-2, with the exception of the very large ones, and the figurines are usually between 50 cents and $2.

There is also a section for music and movies. They have a very large section of vinyl, which is great because vinyl records this cheap are hard to impossible to come by. They are $1 as are CDs and VHS movies. Cassette tapes are 50 cents.

Another great thing about Frontier Thrift is they have a section called “The Boutique” that has nothing but name brand clothing. The clothing is in great condition, too.

You can find things from Hollister, American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale and more. Everything in this section is priced at $6. The rest of the clothing is done a little differently than some stores. Usually the prices are assigned to particular types of clothing, but at Frontier Thrift, it is separated into sections. Things with a green tag are $3, blue tag items are $4, yellow tag items are $2 and red tag items are $5.

There is also a section set aside for sale items labelled “the dollar rack” where everything is a dollar. All yellow tags are on sale right now for one dollar. If you need some nice but cheap baby clothes, you can find plenty here. All children’s clothing is $1.50 and clothing for infants is 75 cents.

Shoes for men and women are both a dollar unless marked otherwise. The selection is very nice and in great condition. Anyone could go there and find a pair of shoes that he or she likes for a price that is easily within budget. Ties and belts are one dollar, if that’s what you’re in need of.

Frontier Thrift is a great place to shop for whatever it is you need and is located at 3006 Bristol Highway. Hours of operation are Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m.-6:45 p.m. and their phone number is (423) 952-3210.
