October 18, 2025 is our day to thank you for helping us have an amazing first year at TenThirtyFive Grey/Bruce. It's our very first Customer Appreciation Day and we're excited.

Wow—can you believe it’s already been a year since we opened? It feels like just yesterday we welcomed our first customers, and what an incredible year it’s been! We’re so grateful for your support and can’t think of a better reason to celebrate.

Here’s the scoop on what we have planned for our first ever Customer Appreciation Day on October 18th:

We'll have a specially curated collection of donated clothing for you to shop AND we're giving everyone who brings a friend, 10% off...and 10% off for your friend too.

We'll be open from 10:00am to 5:00pm. From 11:00am until 1:00pm we'll have some very special guests tell you some awesome stories; Several of our valued Community Partners will be joining us to share how their organizations support vulnerable youth and women in Bruce and Grey Counties. You'll also hear inspiring stories from a few of our incredible recipients, words from our dedicated board members, and meet some wonderful individuals we’re excited to introduce.

We'll also be taking a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude and share some special thank-yous with the people and partners who have helped make our work possible.

Enjoy delicious refreshments and treats while our talented stylists share fresh style inspiration. We’d love to see you there!

Parking at our place is limited, so feel free to park across the road at the Community Ball Park or up the road at the Hepworth School - both just a short walk to the store. And please, pray for good weather so we can be outside for our chat time, as our wee boutique is tiny. Either way, we're a go, rain or shine!

What's New? A whole bunch.

1st: Meet our new manager - Gentry Ford. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve reached an exciting milestone: hiring our very first full-time employee. Your continued commitment to our Upscale Thrift Boutique has made this possible, covering the resources needed to support Gentry’s role.

We’re so grateful for your year-round generosity—it’s helping us grow, expand our services, and reach even more individuals in our communities. Thank you for being a vital part of our journey!

2nd: We have a new trailer. Woo Hoo! Thanks to your support of our Fashion Show Fundraiser and our Mobile Boutique sponsors: Walker Family Financial, Beck Auto Group, Art McNeil, Dan Graham, Kelly VanDolder, The Chantry Island Cham-bettes, Kristine & Shawn Lawrence of Grey Bruce Sod Supply and Margit Berne of Sunpoint Tanning Salon, and the TenThirtyFive Grey/Bruce Board of Directors, we now have a beautiful new trailer. This lovely addition will help us better serve our pop-ups and have readily available stock of apparel to re-fill the community closets we plan to support as we continue to expand. Next step: retrofitting and getting it all branded-up!

3rd: We’re overflowing with gorgeous purses and stunning jewellery! Thanks to the incredible generosity of Karen Campbell, Cheryl Pauchuk, and their amazing tribe of women from Saugeen Shores, TenThirtyFive Grey/Bruce has received our largest donation of purses yet.

Their Purses With Purpose event brought in 71 beautiful purses, a full tote of fabulous jewellery, and also made a meaningful impact at the Salvation Army Food Bank.

We are deeply grateful for this generous gift—and we know just how much joy and confidence these treasures will bring to our recipients during their quarterly shops.

Thank you for making such a difference.
