I decided to open a thrift store after a couple of years of collecting stuff. Looking at the economy, people can't afford retail prices. The "old hardware" store in Lula became available. I thought well what better place than Lula? We worked really hard to decide when to open. Railroad days sounded perfect. It took alot of days and nights working to be able to open by Railroad days. May 5th was when we officially opened the doors to Railroad Thrift & More.
