The Salvation Army Opens New Store in Ashtabula, Ohio
Ashtabula, OH (May 26, 2023) – The Salvation Army is set to open a new store in Ashtabula, Ohio on June 3rd, 2023. The new store is designed to improve the shopping experience for its customers and includes 9,500 square feet of shopping space filled with bargain-priced clothing, household items, electronics, books, toys, furniture and collectibles.
Located at 2001 W. Prospect Rd, Ashtabula, the Thrift Store will open its doors for the first time at 9:00 AM. Opening day shoppers will enjoy a store furnished with beautiful pallet wood accents, diamond polished floors, a well-stocked store with thousands of unique items, door prizes, coffee, donuts, hot dogs, and more.
The new store will make it possible for The Salvation Army to provide better assistance for people in the community who are struggling with alcohol, drugs, and other life issues since revenues from the Thrift Store will support the charity’s rehabilitation center. This center offers its no income, no insurance necessary services with sales from the Thrift Stores as the program’s sole source of funding. Families in need may also receive vouchers for free furniture or clothing from the store through other Salvation Army programs.
“Our new Thrift Store will offer more selection and more bargains that appeal to everyone to provide our customers with a better shopping experience and to support our social services work,” says Joshua Gilbert, Director of Business who oversees the stores and business for The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. “We really look forward to contributing to the community at all levels.”
Tax receipts will be provided on-the-spot for any donations received during store hours, Monday – Saturday, 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM. After-hours clothing donations can be dropped in the bins located in the front parking lot and the west facing side of the new facility.
