Message:: [QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 2507700, member: 59"]We had been closed for 6 weeks before the COVID situation arose - remodeling the space, new fixtures, new floor plan and just generally more efficient use of the space. In anticipation of that, we had huge "getting ready to remodel" sale events to reduce potential storage needs and sent the leftovers to Goodwill and the shelters. depending on what it was. AND we had stopped taking in donations then too. When we finally opened post-remodel we were only open 1 week before the county shutdown. So it really isn't as bad as it might have been. The processing and organizing area of the shop can handle a fair amount more than it used to. There is still some space available "on the floor," but we are trying to be careful about keeping our "look" from becoming obscured by having too much out at once. Sales have been good and we can supplement if necessary by having "special events" to boost things we have too much of. There's always a certain amount of stuff that goes right out to the shelters or GW because our sorting standards are fairly strict. So all in all, I think we'll be in good shape.[/QUOTE]
