Best Friends Thrift Shop in Potsdam celebrating 5th anniversary with raffle

Posted

POTSDAM — Best Friends Thrift Shop is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a raffle for customers to win gift certificates and special sales on a variety of items.

Customers may fill out a raffle ticket with each purchase during the month of April for a drawing at the end of the month.

The store is located at 8 Raymond St.

Tim and Cathy Connolly established the business three years prior, and donated the profits to Potsdam Humane Society. As the Connollys had planned, the thrift shop was taken over by the PHS crew and opened under the new name on April 1, 2014.

“The store has been generating funds for operations at the PHS's animal shelter for five years,” a press release from the humane society said. “Each year the sales have been better than the one before. Thanks to folks in the community that both purchase the items and supply the inventory with their donations. “

The thrift store has a variety of items from household to jewelry to toys and electronics. There are also holiday items, hardware, and a pet supply area as well.

The Potsdam Humane Society and the volunteers who work at the store wish to thank everyone near and far who have helped make this store a success.

Best Friends is open Monday 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.; Tuesday -Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

All profits go to care for the animals at the shelter at 17 Madrid Ave.
