Celebrating 10 Years of The Happy Thrifter
Founded in Venice, Florida by Patti Clark, The Happy Thrifter is celebrating 10 years of transforming resale shopping into memorable travel experiences. As a pioneer of thrift shop tourism, the business connects independent thrift and resale shops through curated, themed adventures that blend shopping, exploration, and community.From surprise-filled Mystery Resale Shopping Bus Tours across Southwest Florida to themed excursions, self-guided Road to Resale Adventures, and the newest offering, the OH SHIP! Florida Thrifting Cruise, The Happy Thrifter continues to innovate and grow its reach.
This 10-year milestone celebrates a decade of creativity, connection, and supporting local resale businesses while looking ahead to the next chapter of happy thrifting.
