The Hanger along with the Witz End Boutique will celebrate their grand opening on March 3rd 2017 at 616 Broadway Street in Lincoln, IL historic downtown.

The Hanger (formerly Old 2 New Thrift Store) will provide a fresh new resale shopping experience spanning close to 10,000 square feet. Shoppers will find a wide variety of clothes, housewares, décor, antiques, furniture, and more.

The Witz End Boutique will be housed inside The Hanger and will offer an assortment of boutique, vintage, and designer items. Witz End is named in honor of the former Witzig retail store that was at the same location on the square during the 1970’s. Shoppers will also be able to make purchases online.

The Hanger will also serve as a hub for several of CAPCIL’s economic development programs in Logan County. These programs include job and skills training through the Hand Up Project and Strengthening Working Families Initiative, supplemental income programs, volunteer opportunities, and apprenticeship placement with local businesses.

The Hanger and the Witz End Boutique will host a grand opening event on Saturday March 3rd. Door prizes, giveaways, and various specials will go throughout the entire day. The store will remain open during the month of February while undergoing construction to prepare for the grand opening.
