 reSTORE: A PSI THRIFT STORE

Coming Soon to Stuart Hall

In Spring Quarter 2023, Phoenix Sustainability Initiative will be opening reSTORE, UChicago's first ever on-campus thrift store. The non-profit, student-run store, located in the basement of Stuart Hall (previously Stuart Café), will collect and redistribute clothes from and to the UChicago community. All profits from selling the secondhand clothing will be donated to local environmental non-profits. This project is spearheaded by PSI's Campus Waste Reduction project group.

reSTORE: Integrating Sustainability into UChicago

  • Diverting Waste: By collecting community clothes as inventory, our thrift shop aims to divert clothing waste from landfills and back into closets where they will be worn. 

​

  • Accessible, Sustainable Alternatives: Our thrift store's central location of Stuart Hall will provide the entire campus community easy access to second-hand clothing.

​

  • Supporting local organizations: Through its non-profit designation, the thrift store will donate all profits to local environmental organizations (list of partners coming soon).
