Shoppers who frequent the Salvation Army Thrift Shop in Kindersley will be amazed by the transformation that has taken place in the shop during the past few weeks. Eddy Diehl and her staff have been extremely busy as they have completely rearranged the store.

The clothing has been moved from the front of the store to the back, and is always meticulously sorted according to size and colour, making it very convenient for shoppers. New shelving has been installed on the front west wall. Those shelves are now filled with a wide variety of items.

The front portion of the west side of the building sports a comfy sofa, chairs and coffee table. Eddy noted she found a customer sitting and reading a book there one day.

Although the work the staff has accomplished is impressive, Eddy assured me they aren’t done yet. It’s obvious the staff is dedicated to making the store, not just a place to find affordable treasures, but also a shop where people feel welcome and have an enjoyable experience.
