THE ORIGIN STORY

How I Got Hooked

Daniel's love for thrifting started young, tagging along with his grandma and mom on weekend hunts through the racks. Back then, it wasn't about finding anything specific; it was the thrill of not knowing what you'd walk out with. A vintage Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Rays piece , any type of sports collectible or figure, a video game or console. That feeling never wore off. What began as a family ritual turned into a lifelong obsession with the hunt itself. Years later, that obsession became Thrift-N-Thangs, a store built on the same feeling that hooked him as a kid, and one he still chases every single day on the floor.

ON THE FLOOR

What I Curate

Daniel's eye is always on the bigger picture, curating a floor that feels like Tampa Bay itself. Give him a rack of Bucs or Rays gear, and he's home, but his instinct for what belongs here goes well beyond sports merch. He's the one deciding what earns a spot on the floor, and it all has to feel like it belongs in this city, whether that's local flavor, throwback pieces, or the odd item that just feels right for a Tampa Bay closet. That instinct is what makes this store feel different from every other thrift shop in town.

" I still get the same rush finding something great as I did digging through racks with my grandma. "

Hunting For

A piece of Tampa Bay history he hasn't already got hanging in his own closet, Bucs, Rays, Lightning, doesn't matter, if it's got real character and local pride stitched into it, he's already picturing where it goes on the floor.
