Aldergrove: Second Beginnings

The Second Beginnings thrift shop in Langley is moving to Aldergrove in the future, apparently its second move in just over a year.  It will join a Salvation Army thrift shop as well as the Wellspring Fibromylagia thrift shop which also moved from Langley to Aldergrove a few years ago.

Two thrift shops in Maple Ridge have lost their premises due to redevelopment of Haney Plaza on Dewdney Trunk Road.

The smaller shop of the Vernon Upper Room Mission closed some time ago.  All goods are sold at the main shop by the Mission's main premises.

Victoria Closure: (Bibles for) Missions thrift shop

I went into Victoria yesterday and one of the shops along our route was the Mission (Bibles for) thrift shop.  We got there to find a closed, empty premise.  The building has been sold which seem to have forced the very quick closure.  .
