The sprawling shop previously owned by SAS Fabrics—and known as Holiday House Interior Design & Manufacturing before that—is being transformed into a thrift shop aimed at helping Tucsonans in multiple ways.
“It really is my goal that this building belong to the community," said Esthermarie Hillman, co-creator and visionary behind BOB. A voucher program through partner non-profits can give people in need the items they need, according to Hillman, who said sales dollars will then go to fund utility and housing help, which she identified as two of the most pressing needs in Southern Arizona.
That initiative will include kitchen areas for culinary training and a home base for food truck owners, plus a restaurant where menu items can be tested before being rolled out as part of a business plan.Hillman says she wants to create a place to give people a foundation for furthering their education, starting a business, or overcoming homelessness.
