Dozens lined up in front of Flathead Industries Thrift in Kalispell on a recent Thursday morning, patiently waiting to scope out the best deals from the half-off everything sale. As 10 a.m. approached, the parking lot in front of the East Idaho Street building swiftly filled up, which Marketing Manager Alex Sheneman said is a regular occurrence.
When goods don’t make the cut to be sold there, they end up in another of the nonprofit’s locations just six blocks away on Fourth Avenue West where no item is more than a dollar a pop. But with donations pouring in, the nonprofit needed to expand.
That expansion is coming in the form of a larger clearance store under construction on the corner of Fifth Avenue West North and East Montana Street, which will replace the nonprofit’s small facility next door.
