Savers is a multinational corporation based in Washington state that owns a chain of thrift stores with over a hundred locations in the United States, Australia, and Canada. In Washington and English Canada, these stores are called Value Village, and in Quebec, Village des Valeurs. In Australia and American states besides Washington, the stores share the corporation's name.
Savers has attempted to provide customers with a department store atmosphere in which to search out high-quality used goods, such as designer clothing, antiques, and first edition books, among a constantly-changing stock which includes some brand new items, redefining the concept of a thrift store. Savers defines itself by its slogan, "Savers: The Thrift Department Store."
