America's Thrift Store opens doors in Dothan

Shoppers got to check out another new business in Dothan as America's Thrift Store opened Thursday morning.

The southern chain now has 18 stores across the southeast and has been wanting to move to Dothan for the last few years.

The store is in the old Toys R Us building on Montgomery Highway.

More than 100 people have jobs here, where many of them separate and organize donations to benefit the Make-A-Wish Alabama Foundation.

"We also have an 800 number you can call. So we'll come to your home and do a home pick up for free. We have donation bins throughout the Wiregrass where you can drop off. The more you donate to us, the more it benefits Make-A-Wish," said America's Thrift Stores CEO Ken Sobaski. "For us, that's a huge deal."

You can also drive up to the store and drop off your donations at their service station, right beside the store.
