Ellison Family Roots

Red White & Blue Thrift has deep roots in the thrift store industry, with origins dating back to the 1920s. Our founder, Ray Ellison, came from a legacy of community service, as his parents partnered with the Salvation Army to help establish some of the earliest nonprofit thrift stores in the country.
