BRHS Announces Grand Opening of Second Thrift Store Location & Kick-off of Ashley Furniture Sale
To help meet the ever increasing costs of maintaining that shelter, which cares for approximately 75 animals every day, BRHS has opened a second Thrift Store located at 1034 Greenville Highway in the Brookdale Square Shopping Center. The Grand Opening Celebration for the second location will be held Friday, July 26th and Saturday, July 27th. The Henderson County Chamber of Commerce will assist with the Ribbon Cutting at the second location at 11:30am on Friday, July 26th. The public is invited and there will be refreshments. Friday, July 26th, will also be a day of specials inside both Thrift Stores. BRHS knows the value of each customer and considers each person who shops in our stores to be a “giftâ€. So to show our appreciation, on Friday, July 26th, BRHS will be giving each customer a gift.  When opened, it might contain a gift certificate, a special coupon, or a notice that you’ve won something for free! 
The Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday, July 27th will be the kick-off of the New Ashley Furniture Sale. Recently Ashley Furniture gave Blue Ridge Humane Society a very generous donation of over 80 brand new items. The donation included new mattresses and box springs, sofas, chairs, dressers, night stands, dining room tables, and more. The new Ashley pieces will be available in both stores beginning Saturday, July 27th. Terri Thompson, Director of Retail for BRHS said, “We were delighted to receive the brand new items from Ashley Furniture. When we sell these donated pieces in our thrift stores, the funds generated may be used to purchase necessary medical supplies, microchips, food, or might even pay for an animal’s emergency surgery. Bighearted companies like Ashley Furniture are like angels for our animals.†As part of the Grand Opening Celebration a “Pet Adoption Event†will also be held at the Brookdale Square Thrift Store location on Saturday from 11am to 3pm. Animals that are currently up for adoption through the BRHS Animal Shelter will be in the store. If you are interested in adopting, you can meet with shelter staff to find out more about the process.
