This summer we began a new partnership with Inside Books Project - they are staffing the store on Sundays and taking home 100% of the proceeds on those days. It has been a huge success and we've been able to increase our financial contributions to the project by over 10 times!

In The Press

"Treasure City is a volunteer-run nonprofit staffed by a friendly anarchist collective."

— Austin American Statesman

"Possibly the best thrift store/social movement of the century... holding the torch for an Austin that is not so much "weird" as "freakish," in a good and not particularly mass-marketable way."

— The Austin Chronicle
