The popular Crossroads Hospice Society Thrift Store in Coquitlam is moving to larger digs to accommodate its need for more shopping and storage space.
At the end of the business day tomorrow (Thursday), the store will close its doors and Crossroads staff, volunteers and helpers will begin the short move from the store's current location at 2565 Barnet Hwy. to its new one at 2780 Barnet Hwy.
The store, which opened in 2004, has spent the past year planning its move to a larger location to provide more retail space to customers and to warehouse its growing inventory of donations. The new store is slated to open within two weeks.
"With a soft opening date scheduled for Tuesday, June 21 to open our doors to customers, we hope that the public will help us fill our racks with gently-used, high-quality items," said Crossroads' executive director, Barb Henham, in a press release. "So, while we move, we ask the public to begin dropping of their donations... between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. from Monday to Friday."
The expanded thrift store will also have expanded operating hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on "Thrifty Thursdays."
