Fretex Bodø is a thrift store that is part of the Salvation Army. The store focuses on sustainability and offers a diverse selection of goods, including women's and men's clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, interior items and textiles. In addition, Fretex Bodø accepts donations of decorative objects, books and small interiors, which are quality assured through a separate gift reception.
The sale of used goods contributes to the financing of the Salvation Army's social work. Fretex Bodø's aim is to promote reuse and reduce environmental impact, and encourages the choice of second-hand rather than new products. The shop also plays a role in work inclusion, giving people the opportunity to gain work experience and hope for the future.
