We officially cut the ribbon on the new LACASA Collection charity resale boutique location at Tanger Outlets Howell on October 30, 2024.
LACASA Collection first opened its doors in 2017 in the Kroger/Crossroads plaza in Howell. Every sale made at our store support the operations of LACASA, giving the community a meaningful outlet to donate and purchase gently used clothing and furnishings, and a place where LACASA clients can begin to rebuild their lives.
Our new shop, located at suite A140 (next to the Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store), occupies three storefronts. With this expanded space, LACASA Collection tripled its size to provide customers with a better shopping experience.
“This store was a dream and a vision, but the reality of the new space surpasses any of our wildest dreams,” said LACASA President and CEO Bobette Schrandt. “The staff, volunteers, and supporters of this store care so deeply about our mission and who we serve, and that’s reflected in every inch of this beautiful space.”
The ribbon cutting ceremony, which included the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Hartland Area Chamber of Commerce, marked the culmination of months of hard work that dedicated volunteers and community partners put into the move and renovation of the new space.
“This beautiful, expanded space demonstrates the support you have from this community and for the work you are doing across our entire county,” said Howell Area Chamber of Commerce President Janelle Smith.
With the expanded space comes an expanded need for volunteers for the store. Those interested can visit https://lacasacollection.org/help-for-good/
