A new thrift shop has opened in Bristol.
A veteran-owned and supporting business, Sloan Thrift donates proceeds to local veteran related charities. The cause is important for co-owner Andrew Sloan, who is himself a veteran, served two tours in Iraq with the marines. In addition to veteran charities, Sloan Thrift is also going to work with Project Feeding Kids.

About two hours after their initial opening on Saturday, the store had seen a steady flow of people.
“It’s been going really well so far,” Peter Collipp, a co-owner of the store, said.
The shop has nearly everything prospective shoppers could be looking for. Some of the items for sale include golf clubs, glassware, games and other home necessities. A restroom and fitting rooms are available so customers know what they are buying and if clothes fit.

“We’re always going to grow as a family. We want to know the people that come in, we want to create a bond over the years,” Sloan explained.
Sloan Thrift is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Sloan Thrift accepts donations, and offers free pickup for donations.
