The Salvation Army cut the ribbon and opened the doors to its new Family Store at 3320 Research Way in Carson City Thursday morning. The 18,000-square foot store, part of what may be the first speculative warehouse space built in Carson City in a decade, offers greater floor space and a brightly lit interior for more merchandise and easier shopping. Lt. Shari Fowler of the Salvation Army, Reno Corps, says they’re offering a department store experience at thrift store prices. The store provides funding for the Salvation Army’s recovery programs serving 200-300 people each year in Northern Nevada.
