LOGAN â Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and a sometimes shaky local economy in general, a downtown Logan business recently celebrated its two-year anniversary.
On May 4, 2019, Kim Justice, an employee of the United States Postal Service for 27 years, opened the doors to Just-Us Furniture & Consignment at 209 Stratton St., in downtown Logan. Justice said she had always wanted to have her own consignment store and she decided to make that dream a reality after one of the stores she used to frequent, Thrifty Threads in Chapmanville, closed its doors.
For the first 10 months, Justice focused on growing and maintaining her new business. Then in March 2020, like so many other small businesses statewide, she had to close her business due to the restrictions by Gov. Jim Justice in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
