Declining sales close Kalihi thrift store

Advertiser Staff

The Salvation Army will close its Kalihi Thrift Store because of declining sales and rising maintenance costs on Sept. 15.

Plans are in the works, however, to expand the offerings at its thrift store on Sumner Street on the corner of Nimitz Highway.

All remaining merchandise at the Kalihi store will be discounted 75 percent on Sept. 12 and 13.

The Salvation Army services about 35 million people in the United States each year with food, companionship, clothing and shelter and educational and recreational opportunities for at-risk children. The Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Division of The Salvation Army covers the state of Hawai'i and the Pacific Islands including Guam, Republic of the Marshall Islands and The Federated States of Micronesia.
