RETAIL THERAPY
Surprises in Store
Some shoppers pop in weekly to browse and be the first to see what's new. Others visit several times a year to scour the aisles in search of an elusive treasure. But whether they're in the market for unique collectibles, sporting equipment, home furnishings or designer accessories, shoppers always discover there are surprises in store at Hope Chest Resale Stores.
Hope Chest experienced a year of growth, starting with the expansion of the North Fort Myers location. An additional 7,000 square feet of retail space was added for furniture, lighting, silk flowers, artwork and other home décor.
Later in the year, friends of Hope Healthcare and members of the local Fort Myers business community gathered to celebrate the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting at the newest Hope Chest resale store in South Fort Myers.
A regular schedule of holiday sales and discounts—along with the friendly staff of volunteers who stock the shelves and man the register—keep shoppers coming back to see what's new at the Hope Chest at the Crossings in Bonita Springs.
Hope Chest Resale Stores serve a very important role by benefiting Hope's unfunded programs and services. Whether you're shopping, donating or volunteering your time to work at one of the stores, you're helping Hope fulfill its mission: to improve quality of life and provide comforting care and choices that give hope and meaning to every moment.
