GRACE has opened an outlet store next to its donation station in Grapevine.

The nonprofit is a relief agency that helps residents with food, clothing, financial assistance and other necessities, according to its website. GRACE operates GRACEful Buys locations in Grapevine and Euless. Plans for the GRACEful Buys Outlet started this summer, according to Rebecca Cox, the GRACE CEO.

The outlet sells items such as:
  • Artwork
  • Electronics
  • Bikes and scooters
  • Sporting goods
  • Outdoor equipment
  • Luggage
  • Clothes
  • Shoes
Jennifer Rawls, director of resale and operations, said a lot of the equipment that would typically be found in the back lot of GRACEful Buys in Grapevine is now able to be sold inside at the outlet store, instead of outside with the elements of the weather.

She said it will provide a better selling experience for the product and buying experience for the customers. Cox added that the two GRACEful Buys stores were at capacity due to generous donors in the surrounding communities.

All proceeds from the GRACEful Buys Outlet, like the store, help fund the assistance programs that GRACE provides, Rawls said.
