The Cancer Association of Shelby County celebrated the grand re-opening of its Second Time Around Thrift Store on Tuesday.

The expansion of the thrift Store at the 31 Public Square site accompanied by the move of the association's offices to neighboring 37 Public Square was completed in February to feature more inventory for shoppers. 

Executive Director Donna Harrell says they had waited for a long time to find a suitable site to expand when the opportunity came up right next door.

The final result was better than initially hoped.

The Cancer Association of Shelby County is a non-for-profit organization that helps those in the community that are battling cancer.  Proceeds generated from the Thrift Store help provide financial assistance.
