Arc Stores - Bright, Clean and Organized

Let’s face it, we’re all looking for ways to stretch the budget.

What better way then shopping at secondhand stores? If you’re picturing dusty, dirty ripped clothes piled up in a heap then you need to get out more. The Arc Store prides itself on offering a clean and friendly shopping experience.

“My crew works hard to keep the store running smoothly. From the Donations Room in the back to the front counter.” Says Brenda Easter, Chico Arc Store manager.

5 Good Reasons to Shop Secondhand…

• Saves Money: Even in a good economy it’s smart to stretch your hard earned dollar.
  
• Good Quality: We often receive designer labels or hardly used items.
  
• Environmentally Friendly: Keep perfectly usable electronics out of the landfill
  
• Support a Good Cause: The money raised at the Arc Store helps fund the Arc of Butte County’s programs for special needs children and adults with developmental disabilities.
  
• It’s Fun! It’s like a treasure hunt. You never know what you will find but you know you’ll come away with more money in your pocket.
  

You never know what you will find at the Arc Store. We get new items donated everyday! Plus there’s always a daily “Manager’s Special”.
