Meet Pockets: The Legendary Thrift Guide of OKC Pockets

In the quiet corners of a cluttered donation bin, under a pile of forgotten flannels and half-missing board games, a legend was born.

The year was 2008.
The world was changing.
And somewhere between a tube TV and a talking teddy bear…
Pockets emerged.

Not just a name — a calling.

Small in stature, but mighty in mission, Pockets didn’t come from money or fame. He came from purpose. From the very fabric of reuse and the spirit of “second chances.” Crafted from the patchwork of community, stitched together by values of recycling, reducing, and reimagining what others throw away.

🎒 A Journey Through the Thrift Realms

After spending his early years learning the ropes of resale and rescue (and discovering just how many things people donate with the tags still on them), Pockets made his way to Oklahoma City in 2014, answering the call of a bigger mission. The Super Thrift Co Stores had heard the whispers — a little guy with a big heart and even bigger utility belt.

He showed up ready to work.
No ego. No drama. Just a neon vest, a clipboard, and an unshakable belief that every item has a story… and a second chance.

🌀 2025: The Evolution

As thrift operations modernized and grew, so did Pockets. No longer just a backroom helper or donation-day mascot, Pockets became the living thread that ties every part of the operation together.

• Need a couch hauled from a neighborhood pickup?
Pockets is there — buckled into the box truck, waving from the passenger window.

• Want to know what color tag is 50% off this week?
Check the signs… or better yet, check Pockets’ latest reel.

• Backroom sorting chaos?
He’s in there — clipboard in hand, inspiring the team and occasionally riding a dolly like a skateboard.

• Socials? Sales floor? Store events?
You better believe he’s front and center. He might be small, but he’s got main character energy.

♻️ More Than a Mascot

Pockets isn’t just a face for fun. He’s a walking, talking (okay, miming) reminder that reuse is powerful.
He represents the 5 million pounds of textiles diverted from landfills each year.
He represents the jobs created, the families helped, the veterans supported, and the kids outfitted for back-to-school without breaking the bank.

He’s the thread between your gently-used jacket and its next proud owner.
He’s the one who reminds us all that what we give matters.

✨ So the next time you see Pockets…

Whether he’s dancing on TikTok, loading a trailer, or pointing you to the color tag of the week — just know you’re part of his story too.

Because every time you shop, donate, or share, you’re helping Pockets fulfill his mission:

To rescue the forgotten. To honor the usable. To build a better, more generous world — one thrifted treasure at a time.
