LISTEN saves Halloween-themed merchandise all year for its annual sale in September, said Cody Jekubovich, Lebanon Store Manager. The day before the first day of the sale, the White River Junction and Canaan, NH stores are transformed into a “winter wonderland,” Stone added. The store in Lebanon isn’t closed, but its seasonal section is prepped for the holiday a week beforehand, and the staff is dressed up in costumes on the first day of the Halloween sale.
The location is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Sunday. The Canaan and White River Junction stores are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., also seven days a week. The White River Junction furniture store is open Tuesday-Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Donations are accepted at all locations 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to noon. There are still a wide variety of costumes, including wigs, hats, and masks for adults and children, Stone indicated.
“People come to shop here because of our one of a kind items, unique finds, and lower prices,” she said. “They like to shop at LISTEN because it keeps things out of the landfill and because they know that we’re a non-profit organization and that our revenues go back to the community through our programs such as heating helpers, housing helpers, summer camp, holiday baskets, food pantry, and community dinners.”
