Babbitt Thrift Store

Babbitt Thrift Store is a community-focused thrift retailer that opened in June 2026 at the former location of Northern Frontiers Thrift on Central Boulevard in Babbitt, Minnesota. Founded by Kati Stage, the store prioritizes affordable pricing, welcoming environment, and giving items and stories a second chance through quick inventory turnover and upcycled, locally-sourced design elements. Stage is committed to community support, donating money to school programs at Northeast Range and providing free clothing to assisted living facilities, while positioning the store as a community space built on the principle of people helping each other.
