 Renew Consignment and Thrift is located at 201
South Sangamon Street in Lincoln. The new owners are Angie
Bossingham, Jennifer Schneider and Liz Hays.
The three women purchased the business name and stock in October of
last year. By the time they were prepared to have an open house and
ribbon cut, the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce had closed.
When Lincoln Daily News decided to start offering ribbon cut
services to all Logan County businesses, the owners at Renew were
among the first to make contact and ask for a ribbon cut.
Renew Consignment and Thrift has been around for a while, operating
in that same location. However, in the past, it was owned by a
larger not-for-profit organization and dealt more with selling
donated items than it did taking pieces on consignment.
Since the change in ownership the emphasis has reversed. Now a
‘for-profit’ business owned by local individuals, Renew takes in
some very interesting, as well as very useful items primarily on
consignment.

Going into the store is a very nice shopping
experience as one will find all sorts of things. From every day to
dressy clothing, kitchen wares, housewares, and even furniture (some
antique!), this is a great shop and a great asset to our community.
The ribbon cut will be held at 5 p.m. and the store will be open
until 6:30 p.m. After the cut, be sure to go inside, enjoy some
light refreshments, visit with the owners and staff, and of course
take a good look around.
