Thrift Town
Thrift Town is the name of an exceedingly small chain of thrift stores in central Texas. For a brief period (2013-2015), Draco lived near the one located in San Antonio (2864 Thousand Oaks Dr). He wound up becoming a frequent customer of the store as a means to obtain things for the burgeoning GatorUNbox series on the Gatorbox livestream. Across the street from Thrift Town was a 99c Only Store, which was another common haunt for unbox fodder.
Thrift Town is unique however in that for some strange reason every single thing that Draco purchased from that store went on to become among some of the "greatest hits" the channel has ever seen. Even as recently as 2025 things that were purchased from Thrift Town upwards of at least a decade ago are still rolled out onto the show for the first time and turn out to be incredible finds. Because of this, Thrift Town has adopted a kind of mythical reputation within the Gatorbox community. Despite this, Draco has not returned to San Antonio for any purpose post-2015, and while Thrift Town is still open for business he has not shopped there in ten years.
