Well, here is where it all started (5823 West Franklin Road, Boise, Idaho 83709), Vets 4 Success first thrift store (the first of many!!)

The picture below shows what the store front will look like once the signs are in place.

Well we are now into our second week on the 'Tear-Out' Stage, and you can see we have removed most of the mirrors, and started taking down the center wall.

Lots of little things to take care. Removed the pluming to the old sinks, cleaned the overhead lights outside, replaced light bulbs, and started laying title. We also started to build our check-out stands. This week we also ran into a little problem; the roof is leaking :(

Things are getting cleaned-up and we are getting closer to our opening. But there is still a lot that needs to been done, we still need drywall, tile, and paint.

Thanks to all the hard work of our volunteers we are getting close to competition. Huge Thank You to Tim Seitz and Idaho Custom Wood Products for donating their time and materials for our check-out counter top and the seats in our changing rooms! Thanks to Bill for getting the title work done, Jim for getting the walls ready for painting, Mike for all the plumping and electrical work, and the O'Dell family for hauling off the HUGE pile of drywall waste.

Sorry for the delay in getting new images posted, just had a lot of other little things going on that needed to be taken care of. Well, we are having a little trouble getting store shelves and clothing racks donated to us. So, we are looking at building some of our own out the scrap wood we have left over. They don't look pretty, but they will do. We now have a washer and dryer in place and working, thank you Mike for all your help with this.

Sorry (again) for the long delay in getting new images posted, just had a lot of other things going on that needed to be taken care of. Well, we scrapped the old style clothing racks and came up with some simple to make (and cheap) racks. We also redesigned the 8 foot long shelve. Huge THANK YOU to Jackson's Food Store for the metal shelve donation and another Huge THANK YOU to Petra, Inc. for the drywall and materials donation!! And last but not least, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us through donations, support, and volunteering their time!! We would never have gotten this far without you!! But we still need your help to get open, donations are always accepted, the big thing is operating capital, without it we may not be able to meet the needs of your Veterans. Please DONATE today.

Thank you to the Gem State Young Marines for Color Guard, Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce for the Ribbon Cutting, Congressman Walt Minnick, and everyone who attended the Grand Opening Event!

Again a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us through donations, support, and volunteering their time!! We would never have gotten this far without you!! But we still need your help to get open, donations are always accepted, the big thing is operating capital, without it we may not be able to meet the needs of your Veterans. Please DONATE today.
