DeWitt County's Encore Developmental Services has reopened the Encore Thrift Store on the east side of the community off Route 10. 

Executive Director Stephanie Coonce indicates a lot has changed if you haven't been in since the re-opening. She indicates they cleared out all their inventory and started fresh and have expanded where customers can shop.

According to Coonce, their warehouse has been cleaned out and more space to shop has been created. She explains back by popular demand is their Christmas section.

Encore is again taking donations. Coonce hopes donors will bring them things that have a resale value and not stuff that will likely end up in the trash. Additionally, she notes their donations do sit for two weeks before it is put on their sales floor due to COVID.
