Thrift stores in Sankt Gallen
If you like the hunt, Sankt Gallen, St. Gallen is worth a wander: 13 second-hand and charity shops are mapped here. All 13 are independent second-hand stores rather than charity shops — Sankt Gallen leans commercial when it comes to used goods.
This guide covers every thrift store we could verify in and around Sankt Gallen (within about 25 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Eigenart and St.Galler Brockenhaus, plus stoffwechsel — each with its own personality, which is half the fun. If a shop's missing from Sankt Gallen's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Thrifting tips for Sankt Gallen
Thrifting in Sankt Gallen goes better with a little prep:
- Go early in the week at Eigenart. Donations land on weekends, so Monday and Tuesday shelves are the freshly stocked ones. By Saturday the good stuff is gone.
- Check the furniture first at St.Galler Brockenhaus. Solid wood furniture is the thrift store's greatest bargain — it was built to last and priced to move. Measure your space before you go.
- Go often, buy rarely. The regulars' secret: short frequent visits beat rare long ones. Ten minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly expedition.
- Seasonal items go cheapest off-season. Winter coats in April, fans in October. Buy the season ahead and pay half.
Good to know
We searched about 25 km around Sankt Gallen — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to for a thrifting run. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new shop in Sankt Gallen can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 13 that's closed, or a great shop we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
Prices at Sankt Gallen's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — Sankt Gallen included.
