The Arc of Southwest Washington is moving forward with opening a thrift store in central Vancouver, but the opening will likely be delayed to sometime this summer.
David Wunderlin, the nonprofit’s executive director, said they originally aimed to open May 2 at Vancouver Plaza. However, the organization has not yet raised enough money and needs to make some improvements to the space, including replacing the flooring and painting the walls.
