Three of the amazing women who helped the Pop Up Store be so successful: (from left) Lenall Siebenaler, Judy Lindley and Cathi Woodruff.
The Friends Pop Up Store on NW 23rd Ave. closed on August 28th. We sold 16,000 donated books, DVDs, CDs, gifts and consignment artwork in just over three months of operation. The store was successful beyond all of our expectations!
Volunteers donated more than 2,500 hours to the store. A big thank you to all the volunteers – we couldn’t have done it without them! And thank you to the Retail Committee, staff, all new members who joined the Friends at the store and, of course, our customers. We’d also like to thank the Portland Business Alliance, Powell’s Books, Multnomah County Library and Singer Properties for making it happen. The former Music Millennium space was a perfect venue!
