The Thrift Store grand opening is scheduled for Saturday and will be held from noon to 4 p.m. at Building 1117.
The Thrift Store has been temporarily operating from Building 701 across from the Sakura Theater.
With the renovations and expansion project complete, the store will now resume operation.
Customers are in for an enjoyable experience as they shop in the clean, organized, well-lit state of the art sales floor.
The new location has a drive up and drop off location on the side of the store, which makes it easier to unload your items into a welllit, fenced area.
This large area makes it easier for customers to drop of larger items and not have them exposed directly to the elements.
The current donation shed will be relocated to Building 1117 at a later date so that it can receive overflow items during busy seasons.
If you have large items that you’re unable to get to the store, please contact the manager Gwen Peterson at 080-3418-8093 for a pick up. The Thrift Store provides this service at no cost to you.
Please know that the store still does not accept the following items: Used mattresses, used pillows, stained, torn or dirty clothes, under garments or socks, appliances with missing pieces or not in working condition, broken toys or bikes, paint, food, breast pumps, baby bottles, or electric heaters of any kind.
The enlarged store will allow more of the great things you have been able to find in the past, such as: souvenirs and gifts, jewelry, belts, scarves, purses, shoes, new or gently used clothing for babies, children and adults, maternity clothes, formal wear, books, videos, CDs, electronics, furniture, kitchen utensils, small appliances, housewares, decorative items, linens, bikes, toys, gardening items, sports items and equipment, strollers, suitcases and a free military section.
