Daily News | New thrift store and health-care center are coming to 8th and Market
Center City will soon be getting a new health center and thrift store — in the same building.
“In looking at the data, when I saw that about 50% of people living with HIV in the Philadelphia area are not in care, that was very concerning to us,” said Marlene LaLota, senior regional director for AHF. At the former Burger King location, AHF plans a full-service pharmacy, health-care center, and testing laboratory on the second floor. On the first floor will be a thrift store called “,” which will be part of a successful model AHF has used in 23 other locations to help fund health-care services for those who can’t afford them.
“The Burger King, obviously, had a kitchen area, and that’s going to have to be gutted,” LaLota said. “The second floor is really nice, because there’s windows all around, but it will still have to be majorly renovated.”It’s too early to say what the location’s hours will be, but LaLota notes that their Brooklyn location is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. six days a week , and the expanded Philadelphia operation will probably have the same.
