After more than five decades of doing business in the same location, the basement of the Cedaredge Community United Methodist Church, on Monday, April 30, several ladies from the UMC's United Methodist Women (UMW) began an intensive effort to move the UMW's Cedaredge Community Thrift Shop from the basement of the church to their new location in the old Duckwall Building at the intersection of SW 2nd  St. and W. Main in Cedaredge.

According to UMW's store manager/coordinator, Dorothy Jean Mergelman, the move will make the Thrift Store more visible and will make physical access much easier. The grand opening of the new store will take place on Wednesday, May 9, starting at 10 a.m.  New hours will be from 10 a.m to 4 p.m, Wednesdays through Fridays, and from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturdays.

In addition to benefitting the Thrift Store, the move just might be a much needed shot-in-the-arm for other retail outlets along the historic W. Main Street downtown business district of Cedaredge.
