With bargain hunters lining the block, Olympia's newest thrift store was packed during its grand opening celebration Thursday, Sept. 5.
Located at 534 Capitol Way S., next to Starbucks, blue, a Goodwill boutique, welcomed hundreds of shoppers in its first few hours.
Despite a 40-minute wait in the checkout line, while other shoppers crammed and browsed the 2000 square-foot store, many items flew off the shelves, and customers walked away satisfied.
"I found a wonderful top and a crystal urn. I'm very happy," said shopper Carol Irey.
"We had a nice rack of Ugg boots that did not last," laughed Christine Murphy, aka Gabby Goodwill, the store's social network fashionista.
But fear not dear consumer, a rotation of deeply-discounted, high-end clothes and accessories, vintage knick knacks and classy décor will be at your fingertips - blue receives two to three truckloads of goods per week.
Retail profits fund free job training and job placement efforts in Thurston County.
blue is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
