On Friday, July 19, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., customers are invited to pop a balloon for a discount tag to receive additional savings off already well-priced items during the Community Thrift Store’s second anniversary celebration. There also will be special pop-up surprises each hour for shoppers, along with complimentary theater-style popcorn and soda pop.
The Community Thrift store is located in Miner’s Plaza, next to Planet Fitness, on the corner or McGregor Boulevard and Gladiolus in the Iona area of South Fort Myers. Regular store hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 225-6529.
The store features home décor, clothing, artwork, knick knacks and furniture, as well as building supplies, construction materials, appliances, and fixtures. When an individual or an organization donates items to the store, they receive a tax deductible receipt.
Shell Point Retirement Community, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving seniors in Southwest Florida, opened the Community Thrift Store in 2011. Since the first year of operation was so successful, the store was expanded into a larger space in the same shopping center in 2012. “We are so grateful that the residents of Fort Myers have been so supportive of our thrift store,” said Patty Cox, store manager.
“Shoppers love the friendly staff, which is comprised of more than 75 Shell Point volunteers.”
