Some shoppers were so happy to see the doors of the White Elephant reopen on Monday that they hugged General Manager Karen Lavo.
Itâs understandable, theyâd been waiting three months.
Nearly 600 customers came through the doors from 9 a.m. to noon. Lavo said the closure was due to the rising number of COVID cases after Christmas. Many volunteers called to say they were uncomfortable coming in.
It was the second closure for the popular thrift store. The White Elephant closed from March 16 to Oct. 1, when news of the pandemic affected nearly everybody and everything.
