Chez Thrift ‘Evolving’ to better serve

December 14, 2016   ·   0 Comments

The announcement of Chez Thrift’s move to a larger location on Industrial Road was released earlier this year by Caledon Community Services (CCS).
This unique store, launched by CCS (then known as the Caledon Information Centre) Dec. 9, 1982 to serve the community, has undergone numerous relocations and expansions over the years to remain viable. This latest announcement is an update on the next step in the store’s evolution. Chez Thrift has been rebranded as Evolve Clothing to capture a larger group of Caledon shoppers and donors and ensure it remains a viable part of Caledon’s retail landscape in a changing retail market.
Evolve Clothing’s new location is only 100 meters from CCS’s sister store, the ReUstore, soon to be branded as Evolve Lifestyle. Aligning CCS’s two stores offers exciting merchandising possibilities and donation opportunities for the Caledon community.
CCS is looking ahead to the highly anticipated launch and grand opening. A beautiful design has been completed and construction is well underway. The agency anticipates that Evolve Clothing will open its doors to the Caledon community in early 2017.
Chez Thrift has closed its door for the last time on Queen Street South in Bolton. During the period between the store’s closing and the new store’s opening, all store staff will temporarily relocate to The ReUstore. All donations of clothing and accessories will be accepted, sorted and priced at The ReUstore drive through drop-off on Industrial Road in Bolton.
Caledon residents are encouraged to continue to donate during the transition to help CCS prepare for Evolve Clothing’s huge grand opening.
Donations of previously loved and gently used clothing and accessories are welcomed. All proceeds of all sales from donated goods are reinvested back into programs and services in the Caledon community.
