Chez Thrift is moving in September
February 24, 2016 · 0 Comments
Caledon Community Services (CCS) has announced that one of its stores, Chez Thrift, will be moving to a new location at 4 Industrial Rd. in Bolton.
Previously a large gym, the new store offers 15,000 square feet of space for a larger retail area, sit-in-your-car donation drop off drive-through and an expansive processing area, as well as new boutique areas, such as youth-led business initiatives and a well-anointed training area on the second floor that will be used by different community groups and by CCS in support of many Caledon residents.
The new location is a short walk from The ReUstore, CCS’ second social purpose enterprise.
The new store location will address challenges that Chez Thrift now faces, including large quantities of dumping, a rent hike that is unaffordable and most important, the inability to expand and provide a top-quality work environment and a top-quality shopping experience for customers, staff and volunteers.
A grand opening date has yet to be confirmed, but will closely coincide with the closing of the current location Sept. 30.
All of the proceeds from both Chez Thrift and The ReUstore go directly to community programs. As a multi-service, community-impact organization, CCS supports residents of Caledon and surrounding communities.
