“I’m really excited what this could mean for the community, I mean we see this as a ministry. The Salvation Army does not just see this as a business but as a ministry as well and it provides us with the ability to enhance our family services program,” he said.

Marshall also said the new location feels like a fresh start for the Salvation Army.

“I don’t want it to seem that we had a bad reputation because I don’t think we did but I just want everyone to know that we’re happy to provide this community with more and I think it’s a new opportunity for us so we’re always learning and happy to do it with this community we’re a part of,” he said.

According to Marshall, the location has been opened for around one month.

The grand opening will feature a silent auction and 25 % off merchandise.

Marshall also added the Salvation Army is always accepting suggestions.
