We’re excited to announce the grand opening of our largest Salvation Army Thrift Store on Vancouver Island, British Columbia located in ever-growing community of Langford.
On June 6th, over 780 enthusiastic guests joined us to celebrate the opening of our 11,000-square-foot store at 975 Langford Parkway, near Westshore Town Centre. This new addition marks our second store in Langford and our eighth on Vancouver Island.
“The city of Langford is buzzing with growth and development, and we are thrilled to expand our community outreach to serve even more individuals and families,” says Ted Troughton, Managing Director at The Salvation Army Thrift Store. “With the support of our guests, donors, employees, volunteers, and partners, the Westshore location will help us continue to uplift our local community.”
The new store offers a wide variety of gently used clothing, household items, electronics, art, books, and more. To make donating easier, we have a dedicated Donor Welcome Centre at the back of the store, accessible seven days a week.
“This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from our Thrift Store team, The Salvation Army’s BC Division team, our wonderful guests, and the entire community.” celebrates Ted.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this milestone. With your continued support, the Westshore location will help us uplift our local community.
