Second Chance Thrift Store customers lined the sidewalk Tuesday morning, September 3, for the Fall Re-opening and the doors opened at 10:00 a.m. to a very happy and eager crowd. 

 

During the week before the re-opening, Second Chance Thrift Store underwent a deep cleaning, got a little fresh paint, and new displays were added to complement new fall and winter merchandise. The store is bright, beautiful, and has lots of great furniture, fall and winter clothing, and unique household items. The variety assures that there is something for everyone.

 

Twice a year the store closes for a few days and undergoes a changeover to welcome the new seasons. The reopening’s bring a crowd of excited customers ready to find new treasures and snap up some great deals! To be first in line takes a lot of dedication – one customer consistently arrives two hours before opening to secure her spot! 

 

Second Chance Thrift Store is located in Columbus at 232 East Mills Street. Proceeds from sales of donated items helps support the shelter and programs at Steps to HOPE, Columbus’s domestic violence and sexual assault shelter serving Polk County, NC and Upstate SC.
