How to Build a Thrift Crawl Route

A thrift crawl is a planned route through multiple thrift stores in one trip. Think pub crawl, but for secondhand treasures. Here’s how to build one.

Pick Your City
Head to the Crawl Builder from your dashboard. Start by selecting a city — you’ll see every thrift store we have listed there with ratings, hours, and how far each one is from you.

Add Your Stops
Browse the store list and click to add stores to your route. We recommend 3 to 6 stops for a solid half-day crawl, but you can add as many as you want. Mix it up — hit a big Goodwill, a curated vintage shop, and that weird one your friend keeps telling you about.

Set the Order
Drag and drop your stops to reorder them. The map updates in real time showing your driving route and estimated travel time between each store. Put the ones that open earliest at the top if you’re starting in the morning.

Save It
Give your crawl a name, pick a difficulty level, and save. You can keep it private or make it public for other thrifters to discover and try.

Share It
Every saved crawl gets its own page with a shareable link and QR code. Send it to friends, post it on social media, or print it out and stick it on your fridge.

Start Thrifting
When you’re ready to go, open your crawl and tap Start. Active crawl mode tracks your progress, lets you check in at each store, rate your experience, and snap photos of your best finds. Your stats build over time and you earn badges as you complete more crawls.

That’s the whole flow. Pick a city, add some stores, and go find something amazing.
