This study aims to examine the influence of price discounts, brand image, and promotion on consumer purchase intention at Dindasayudha Thrift Store in Situbondo, with customer satisfaction serving as an intervening variable. The background of this research is grounded in the growing trend of thrifting and the increasing importance of marketing strategies in sustaining and enhancing business competitiveness, particularly among younger consumers.

Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 software. The findings reveal that price discounts, brand image, and promotion have a significant impact on customer satisfaction, while brand image and promotion also have a direct influence on purchase intention.
