Students at Alta are able to walk through the halls and see a wide spectrum of styles from such a diverse student body. But what should you do if you don’t know your style? Don’t waste your money and time on fast fashion stores! Try thrifting!

Not A Thrift Store is a bus that travels around Utah selling vintage clothing. The bus wasn’t originally supposed to be used as a store; its purpose was going to be a hang out spot for Kaysen Stevens, the owner, and his friends. Stevens realized he didn’t have enough money to renovate the bus how he wanted, so he started selling his old clothes for money to clean up the dusty bus. Eventually one thing led to another and now Stevens and his team travel around Utah selling vintage clothing.

“I’ve only been there [NotaThriftStore] once, I think that it’s cool that it’s in a bus,” says Emily Vance, an Alta student who enjoys thrifting. She explains how she enjoyed the experience of Not a Thrift Store, but the clothes they offered weren’t her style. “It’s a lot of graphic tees and it’s a little pricey, between $15 and $30 for a t-shirt.”

Trae Stevens, Kaysen Stevens, and Collin McLaughlin hope to eventually make merchandise and sell it alongside their vintage clothing. Along with this, they hope to work with food trucks and different communities so that people can enjoy a variety of their favorite things. Eventually they hope to start traveling to different states.

You can find out where the bus will be by checking out their social media. They post pretty frequently. You can find them on Tik Yok at Not A Thrift Store and on Instagram at notathriftstore.

So if you like graphic tees, thrifting and exploring fun and unique places, Not A Thrift Store is definitely for you. Even if you don’t like thrifting or graphic tees, they might have something you like, and it’s worth checking it out.
