Beyond the Blue Box have announced they’re moving back to their original home on Covert Street after deciding not to renew its leases on King Street East.
The Board of Directors say that the boutique will re-open, and the much-loved Christmas Store will return to the barn, which they hope will be the best one yet. This move will come with a renewed fundraising strategy and according to a release, they plan to launch a campaign soon.
The decision comes as Beyond the Blue Box continues to recover from the devastating fire that destroyed its building in September 2023. The organization says they’re thankful for the support from their insurance company and the strong and ongoing support of the community. Until October 6th, the King Street locations will remain open, after which all operations will transition to Covert Street.
Beyond the Blue Box has been a cornerstone of the community since 1992, supporting people with developmental disabilities and keeping 100% of sales within the community.
