The Salvation Army Family Store has reopened after eight months of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The roughly 15,000-square-foot thrift store reopened two months ago at 5042 S. Padre Island Dr. The nonprofit renovated the store while it was closed with new dressing rooms, flooring and decorations.
The Salvation Army Coastal Bend is celebrating with a ribbon cutting at the store at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
The family store sells donated, gently used clothing, furniture, household appliances, electronics, books and more. New items are added every week.
If you shop or donate to the store, you re helping fund services the local Salvation Army offers to those in need, said Capt. Patrick Gesner, commanding officer of the nonprofit.

VICTORIA, Texas–After a delay due to weather, the Salvation Army of Victoria Family Store has reopened.
The store was closed almost a year ago due to the pandemic. Salvation Army of Victoria commanding officer Captain Kenny Jones tells us sales were very good on their reopening day, $2700 worth in one day. He said the store was averaging about $450-$500 a day before it was remodeled, and things have been going very well all this week. Captain Kenny tells us he hopes donations to the store can go up. He said they went for so long not picking up donations that it’ll take some time to get inventory back. The Salvation Army Family Store now really needs donations of furniture and housewares. The Salvation Army Of Victoria Family Store is at 4303 North Navarro.
