The Thrift Store is open and operating in the former Food Lion at 3851 Emerson St. in Emerson Plaza. It moved about a mile from 2624 Atlantic Blvd. As the Daily Record reported Jan. 22, The Thrift Store, one of 20 Red, White and Blue Thrift Store locations nationwide, was moving to a site with more parking. Both properties are owned by the same property owner and both stores are about the same size, although the Atlantic Boulevard location was built in 1955 and sits on about 1.5 acres while the former Food Lion is part of a shopping center that was built in 1988 on about 2.4 acres. The stores partner with the Vietnam Veterans of America and accept donations of clothing and household items. The redwhiteandbluethriftstore.com website asks interested donors to visit pickupplease.org or call 800-775-VETS (8387).
