Angels of Long Island Thrift Store & Boutique celebrated its grand opening in Bellport this past weekend, moving from its longtime Patchogue home to a more affordable space.

The store marked the occasion Sunday, Nov. 1, at 10 Farber Drive inside Bellport Outlets after a decade at 350 E. Main St. in Patchogue.

Owner Debbie Loesch told Greater Long Island she had considered moving for years, but the search became more pressing as the Patchogue lease came to an end.

The Bellport location offers roughly the same amount of space at a lower rent, she said, along with a convenient area for donation drop-offs.

The move came together quickly, requiring extra help to pack and transport a fully stocked store.

The new space has a more open layout, she said, and carries the same mix of new and gently used merchandise, including seasonal items for holiday shoppers.
