Timeless Treasure thrift store, located at 1103 EnterpriseRoad in Macon, Missouri,is a valuable and beneficial community service operated by Macon County’s extended employment sheltered workshop program. It opened in the year 2003 and quickly became an awesome reuse program and wonderful community service.
It is stocked with public donations of all kinds of useful household goods and clothing. We keep our general prices low and our quality standards high. The best part is, when you donate goods to Timeless Treasure, your donation stays right here in your own community, helping people you know, love, work with and live next to.
Timeless Treasure thrift store hours are Monday-Friday 9:00am-4:00pm with Tuesdays open late to 6pm.
We are closed on some week days, in observance of Holidays and perhaps inclement weather.
It’s always best to call if you think we may be closed! (660) 385-3111

If you donate to Timeless Treasure thrift store…
“Thank you, for your wonderful gifts!”
“I loved hearing customers tell me they love the store and love to visit. We even have out-of-state customers that always visit when they come through Macon. I like seeing them find a good deal on the things they need too.” – Former Employee Sales Clerk, S. Frost
We asked a few customers to recall their best “prize finds” that they had purchased at Timeless Treasure, and one replied, “I bought moving boxes for my home move and they worked very well for my needs.”
Another customer stated she, “spent $50.00 on a wedding gown that was near new and fit like a glove.”
While still another customer had this to say; “Without Timeless Treasure, I couldn’t afford to keep my kids in clothing for the summer. They tear clothes up playing all day. I love the special sales you have each week too. Lots of bargains!”
