Just a short drive from Tucson, Catalina is home to the Golden Goose, a thrift shop like no other. Like a department store, you can shop for furniture and clothing, sporting goods for golf, tennis, biking and fitness (many with top-tier labels), household appliances, rugs, books, electronics and entertainment items. Need a piece of art? The Goose has more wall space than most art galleries. Antiques and collectibles, too, including contemporary and vintage gold and sterling silver jewelry. New items are added daily in all departments.

The Goose thrives on donations (and would love to have yours), but does so much more with them. Because the staff is 98 percent volunteers, the Goose splits 100 percent of its profits with Impact of Southern Arizona and SaddleBrooke Community Outreach—over $20,000,000 so far—helping more people in need every year.

It takes only one visit to see why the Goose is so special, and why it’s been voted the Reader’s Choice Best Thrift Store by the Arizona Daily Star five years in a row. Golden Goose is open Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 2pm, and Saturday from 9am to 2pm (closed Sunday and Monday).
