The Nearly New Shoppe was opened in 1966 by Doris Schraer.\u00a0 It was initially named “Next to New”, but Doris soon changed the name to The Nearly New Shoppe.\u00a0 The store was initially located on 23rd and Central in a small location that consigned mainly clothing.\u00a0 The store then moved to 14th and Grand, in the Albertson’s shopping center.\u00a0 From there, Doris moved the store to a small building where she had the store upstairs and a “figure salon” downstairs.<\/p>\n
After that location, Doris moved the store\u00a0to\u00a0her\u00a0home for the next couple of years.\u00a0 She had racks of clothing in her large basement living room.\u00a0 There are still customers coming to the store today who would visit Doris in her basement consignment store!<\/p>\n
Many may remember the store at its 24th and Broadwater location where it was for about 5 years.\u00a0 Doris would go to the store at 4:30am every couple of weeks to put new scriptures on the large store sign.\u00a0 This was an inspirational gesture felt by Billings residents for years.<\/p>\n
In 1992, The Nearly New Shoppe moved to its current\u00a0location at 801 14th Street West.\u00a0 At this location, Doris was able to expand her store to include more households, furniture, and linens.<\/p>\n
The Nearly New Shoppe is now owned by Doris’ daughter Linda.\u00a0 Linda has owned the store since 2007.\u00a0 Currently you can find Linda or her daughter Angela running the store, with an occasional visit by Doris (to catch up with old friends).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
