Abilities Unlimited Inc.

Abilities Unlimited Inc. Our Mission is simple: To Improve the Living & Working Conditions of Individuals with Disabilities We aren't just a thrift store; we're that and SO much more!

Abilities Unlimited Incorporated (AUI) was founded
April 1, 1963 by a group of concerned citizens spearheaded by the Jonesboro Jaycee's group. A start-up grant helped to open the first facility and AUI soon became a beacon for the community. Our primary concern is to provide for and assist individuals with disabilities. It is not the Disability in a person, rather the Ability that defines who you are. Throughout the years, we've experienced several fires and setbacks in our facilities. Though detrimental to our buildings, our spirits did not waiver. We sought new locations, received new grants, and broadened our operations. We grew so fast we needed more space and acquired more buildings, transportation, and sub-contracts! Currently, we employ over 300 people! We service the Jonesboro area through our thrift stores (311 Union Ave), The Unlimited upscale resale boutique (410 West Huntington), If you are interested in donating items for our thrift or consignment stores, please visit 410 West Huntington, Personal Adjustment Center (710 Walnut Street), Adult Development Day Treatment, Consumer Services, Administrative Office (North Church) and Recycling center (806 Burke). Our Paragould operations take place at 121 North 2nd Street. The Unlimited, Thrift Store and the Adult Development Day Treatment are all located in the heart of downtown Paragould. We also offer our products and services in Blytheville, AR, at our Adult Development Day Treatment (2100 Texas Street, Blytheville, AR)

We provide secure document shredding; the customer will receive a secure locked container (or containers if needed), pick up at your convenience, re-stock with a new empty container, and service your product upon request. We shred everything in house and recycle the contents afterwards. This is a rapidly growing business and we predict it to continue as more contacts are made! If you are interested in shredding opportunities with AUI, please call Dustin Stinson 870-277-2772

Abilities Unlimited offers a vast array of opportunities for a diverse group of individuals. If you would like to learn more about employment opportunities, please visit our website at www.aui.org for a printable application or visit the AUI Facebook homepage for job posts. We are in constant need for caring, giving individuals with a passion to assist with our programs.

✨ Mission Monday ✨
Tomorrow, 11/11, our hearts are turned toward the heroes among us.
The ones who stood up. The ones who served. The ones who carried courage where most of us only carry fear.

Here at Abilities Unlimited, we don’t just say we care about our veterans — we mean it, deeply.

So in honor of Veterans Day, we want to give back in the way we can:

Veterans receive:

50% off your entire purchase at The Thrift and AU Too

20% off your entire purchase at The Unlimited

Just show your military ID at checkout.
From our hearts to yours — thank you.
For your service. For your sacrifice. For your story. 🤍

✨ Employee Spotlight: Samson! ✨

Oh, Samson… where do we even start?! If you’ve ever met him, you already know: this guy is pure joy wrapped in a human form. Honestly, I couldn’t pick just one photo—he radiates happiness so hard, the camera can’t even keep up! 😎📸

Samson has been rocking it with us for almost 5 years, and we’ve loved every single minute of having him on the team. He brings energy, laughter, and just the right amount of sass to every single day. Seriously, working with him is like hitting the happiness jackpot. 🎰💥

When he’s not dazzling us at work, Samson is out there conquering virtual worlds in his favorite video games 🎮, creating jaw-dropping art 🎨, and recently he’s been flexing those muscles again at the gym 💪 (he insists he’s “getting serious”… we believe him… kinda).

Samson, you are a treasure, a vibe, and the ultimate team player. We adore you endlessly, and we’re so lucky to call you ours! Keep shining, keep laughing, and never stop being the incredible human you are. 🌟💖
