We went to Langley, ambling on some side road from Mission, to visit the usual thrift stores that make Langley a nice, concentrated destination.
Driving and walking around, we found that a full three thrift shops have closed since last autumn, some consolidating, some still waiting to find a new home, and some apparently gone for good.
The consolidation is the ICR or International Christian Relief. There were two shops just over kilometer apart. The shop on 203 Street has closed leaving the 200 Street shop. The Wellspring fibromyalgia shop on Fraser Highway has moved, due to redevelopment of the mall, to 2978 272 Street in Aldergrove (across the highway from the Salvation Army). It's open Mo-Fr 10-16. The Better Tomorrow thrift shop (benefiting Langley seniors) further up Fraser Highway has apparently closed permanently.
