Progress on our New Store

We began working on our new space on Flint Street in April of 2024. We’ve made a lot of progress, but there’s still more to do.

 We’ve cleaned the concrete floor

We’ve built a fire wall ---

We’ve repaired most of the windows

We’ve set up the store

We’ve put up new LED lights

— with two layers of sheetrock on each side

We’ve torn down the ceiling and one of the walls in what was originally a room-sized cooler, as the ceiling had rot and the metal wall had rusted.

Metal wall being removed

We’ve rebuilt the ceiling and wall.

We’re still:

• Upgrading the wiring

• Upgrading the plumbing

• Doing ongoing cleaning

• Arranging and organizing merchandise

• Raising funds for the ongoing work

We still need to:

• Install a front entrance

• Build a handicap ramp to the entrance

• Put up signs outside & inside

• Build an elevator shaft & install an elevator
