About Us
From Garage Finds to Community Gems
The Thrift Boutique began as a humble garage venture by Greek-American entrepreneur Lazaros Giannos, who immigrated to the United States in 2008. Starting with storage auction treasures, Lazaros transformed his passion for uncovering hidden gems into a thriving thrift store that now serves the Dundalk community.
Our Journey
What started with sorting and selling items from a garage quickly outgrew its space. The overwhelming support led to a small storefront on North Point Blvd., and within two years, the demand necessitated an even larger location. Today, The Thrift Boutique proudly operates a 3,500-square-foot at 1589 Merritt Blvd., offering a diverse selection of affordable fashion and household goods.
Giving Back
At the heart of The Thrift Boutique is a commitment to community. Lazaros and his dedicated team have quietly assisted families in need, providing clothing and essentials without seeking recognition. As Lazaros shared, "We try to keep it anonymous because it's not about recognition - it's about helping people when they need it most."
Supporting Local Entrepreneurs
Beyond offering great finds, The Thrift Boutique serves as a platform for local businesses. Our innovative advertising concept allows entrepreneurs to promote their services through in-store digital screens and audio, reaching engaged shoppers at a fraction of traditional advertising costs.
