A new location for a popular basement thrift store in Hastings will give locals easier access to its inventory of hidden treasures. Crossroads Mission Avenue will open the doors of its 6,500-square-foot building at 115 S. Elm Ave.
on Monday, bringing a close to its former store location situated beneath the Crossroads Mission building at 702 W. 14th St. The new location is best known as a former Jack-'n'-Jill grocery store.
With its extended hours and more accessible location, Crossroads Executive Director Daniel Buller thinks those who shop the new location will enjoy a far superior shopping experience to that which they experienced at the former location. Extended hours will make the store accessible from 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.
m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday. "People will see that there is more to choose from," Buller said. "We were very limited on space in the other building.
There were limitations: they had to go down steep stairs, and the parking wasn't good at all. We're excited to get out." As employees ready the store for its Monday reveal, Buller said he likes what he sees.
Already it is evident the new location will provide a far superior fit for area customers perusing the store's increased selection of clothing, housewares, furniture, jewelry, antiques and books, and more. "When we bought this facility, we had a vision for the outcome of our renovation of this building," he said. "This is way better than we ever dreamed.
It is accessible for people .
