As we noted in late September, MUST Ministries has relocated its ‘Marketplace’ thrift store to the East Cobb area.
On Wednesday, officials from the non-profit, the Cobb Chamber of Commerce and community leaders were on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The location at 4651 Woodstock Road is in the Sandy Plains Village Shopping Center, and takes up 7,000 square feet, much larger than its previous space in Marietta.
The new facility also can have large furniture items delivered, as well as donations of selling clothing, home goods, and more that are then sold at a discount.
Here’s what MUST said after the opening event:
“A heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Our new location brings a fresh and inviting space for you to explore. We’re stocked with a wide array of items, from clothing and accessories to home goods and treasures waiting to be discovered. Your visit to the MUST Marketplace not only offers you fantastic shopping finds but also contributes to our vital mission of serving our neighbors in need.”
To donate large items such as furniture to the East Cobb store, 770-790-3900 in advance.
The MUST Marketplace is open Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I was always concerned that this, all volunteer, community services for homeless and disadvantaged citizens would be turned into a capitalistic enterprise. Are they employing any of the needy at their service centers? Do they offer training and skills development for the needy and disadvantaged? Are they displacing any already existing community service models? What else will they expand to in the name of public service. Other tax deductible services? Expand and grow on the needs of the under served and needy.
