Rich Laughton, President of The Economy Shop’s Board of Directors, accepted the shop’s honors and gave a brief history of how the shop came to be and how it has grown in its 90 years of existence. He  credited all the shop’s success to the hard work and hours of time the volunteers spend creating this successful non-profit organization. They are responsible for organizing the shop, directing sales during shopping hours, curating items donated, as well as maintaining the interior and exterior of the shop, just to name a few of their activities.
