Holiday Pop-up Shop

media release: Agrace Thrift Stores’ annual Holiday Pop-up Shop will open Thursday, October 30, selling a mix of donated new and gently used items for holiday entertaining, giving and decorating.

Located inside Madison’s East Towne Mall, the store will be open until November 30, Tuesdays through Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The temporary store is located near the center of the mall, most easily be accessed using the entrances at the mall’s food court or Flix Brewhouse.

Because the popular shop’s merchandise is donated by the community, most items are one-of-a-kind treasures, and inventory is updated every week.

“The magic of the Holiday Pop-Up Shop comes from the generosity of our community,” said Katie O’Grady, Agrace’s retail business manager. “Donors share their holiday treasures, and our volunteers create a festive experience that has become a tradition for shoppers who return year after year.”

Volunteers needed: Prospective volunteers can learn more by calling Agrace at (608) 327-7163 or visiting Agrace.org/Volunteer.

Proceeds from the Holiday Pop-up Shop help fund Agrace’s community grief support services, including those offered through the Agrace Grief Support Center in Fitchburg.

Every year, nearly 4,000 adults and children throughout southern Wisconsin receive grief support from Agrace when they need help coping with the death of a loved one. This essential community service is available to anyone who is grieving, even if the person who died was not an Agrace Hospice Care patient.

Agrace operates four other resale stores in southern Wisconsin—three traditional thrift stores in Madison and Janesville, and a home store in Madison that focuses on furniture and décor.
