New Deseret Industries opens in Houston
The first Deseret Industries outside the western United States is now open in Houston, Texas.
During the dedicatory service of a new Deseret Industries building, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Elder Sean Douglas of the Seventy said that Deseret Industries said that many in the western United States know Deseret Industries as a thrift store where they can buy needed goods at affordable prices. While this nonprofit enterprise is owned and operated by The Church, it provides an important service where “there is more than that taking place on the inside of this operation,” he added.
