Home to Home Consignment in Augusta is now Homeless after Closing its Doors
Local thrift shop, Home to Home Consignment, has closed its doors for good.
The owner, Robin Verginio, put out a statement on the 1st of September stating all vendors housed in the store had to be out by the end of September due to them losing their lease.
They are not sure where the store will go from here. They are looking at other locations and hoping to return. With no luck, they are adopting the name “Home 2 Homeless.”
Over the month of September, many sales were going on from 50% off and more! From jewelry to fine China to outdoor furniture, you name it!

A consignment store is when individuals bring in items for the store to sell for them. A thrift store is when the store sells donated items for a nonprofit organization.
A thrift store is typically run by a nonprofit organization and the proceeds from the sales go towards that organization’s mission or cause.
