Downtown thrift shop Del Valor is closing

Del Valor is closing. The thrift shop, which opened at Purissima and Kelly on April 1, announced at the beginning of Janaury that they will be be closing at the end of the month.

It’s always sad when a business closes, because it represents the end of somebody’s dream. This is also a loss for the community, because Del Valor is a business intended to serve locals.  Del Valor struggled with a location that didn’t generate a lot of foot traffic. According to co-owner Anne Nile, "There wasn’t enough traffic from locals, and not enough people came from over the hill."

Del Valor will remain open until the end of January, offering various sales and specials. Right now, everything in the store is 50% off. At the end of the month, the fixtures will be sold.
