Salvation Army Store opens at new location

 The Salvation Army Family Store has completed its move to the former Blair building along Route 8 north of Franklin, and it is open for business at the new location.

“It’s been a wonderful thing,” said Jason Flinspach, warehouse supervisor.

The store’s official first day at the new location was Sept. 24.

Its new location is easier for customers to get in and out of, Flinspach said.

A manager of the thrift store said previously that the move gives Salvation Army more storage space and a larger sales floor.

More parking is also available.

The thrift store has had good crowds of shoppers every day since its opening, Flinspach said.

Thrift store hours are the same as at the old location, from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
