New store offers abundant bargain shopping in spacious location in Montgomery County

Philadelphia-area bargain hunters have a new stop on their “must-visit” list of area thrift stores: Impact Thrift’s spacious new Norristown storefront, which opened Aug. 6 at 1700 Markley Street. At 33,000 square feet, the new store is more than 50 percent larger than its previous Norristown store, which will be demolished as part of the redevelopment of the former Logan Square shopping center.

“We are thrilled to be able to better serve the people of the Norristown area through this beautiful new store,” said Thomas Tillett, Chairman of the Board of Impact Thrift. “Impact Thrift stores create jobs, generate tax revenue, raise money to fund local charities, encourage recycling, and offer a dignified shopping experience for all. We are so proud to be a part of this redevelopment project in Norristown and look forward to many wonderful years here in our new location.”

The new Norristown store is an important element in Impact Thrift’s three-year development plan, which aims to increase the number of lives it is able to touch from 700,000 to 1 million by 2018 by relocating the Norristown store, opening two additional stores, and doubling its financial support to local charities.

“We are so thankful to all of our partners in the community who helped us reach this important milestone,” said Gray Wirth, President and CEO of Impact Thrift Stores. “Many people in our region struggle daily to meet basic humanitarian needs, but together, we can increase our support of the nonprofit organizations that feed the hungry, house the homeless, and help children to reach their full potential.”
