Glory Upscale is a thrift store designed to provide high quality, in-style items at an affordable price. The store will have its own branding and have a clean, upscale feel throughout the space and reflected through the design of the floor and clothing selection. Not only does the thrift store support The Glory Project financially, it provides an outlet for program participants to learn business and communication skills. Additionally, it is a unique outlet for women from all over to shop, providing a brand to love and low prices to pay.

Glory Upscale Tentative Hours of Operation:

  • Monday - Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Hours pending local ordinances)

  • “Thrifty Thursday” Late Donations: Thursday: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

NOTE: Our staff has their own guidelines, rules and regulations for choosing thrift inventory.
