Nearly New Shop In Toco Hills Closing On Sunday

ATLANTA, GA -- A little more than one week and The Junior League of Atlanta’s Nearly New Shop will close its doors. The venerable consignment shop located in the Toco Hills Shopping Center will cease operations Sunday, April 30, as Patch reported in January.

The closure will cap 68 years of service that the organization has provided for Atlantans. The decision comes as Junior League chapters nationwide move away from consignment shops and concentrate on empowerment principles such as leadership training and community outreach.

“Nearly New has thrived for many years, enabling the Junior League of Atlanta to make a lasting impact on the local community,” JLA president Deanna Anderson said in a statement. “Anyone who shopped, or donated goods and volunteer hours, has helped to make the store a success. Unfortunately, multiple factors including increased competition, an ongoing decrease in revenue and the need to meet the evolving needs of our volunteers necessitated this decision.”

Through the years, the Nearly New Thrift Shop has raised millions of dollars to support JLA’s charitable programs and activities in Atlanta.
