Orphans’ Rock Thrift Store in Eustis Opens in Former Badcock Furniture Location
EUSTIS — Orphans’ Rock Thrift Store, a beloved Christian-based charity shop, has officially moved into a new location at 400 N Grove Street, the former site of Badcock Home Furniture & More. After Badcock closed its doors due to bankruptcy, Orphan’s Rock has breathed new life into the space, bringing a fresh start while continuing their important mission of supporting orphanages around the world and foster children here at home.

Inside the bright, welcoming storefront, shoppers will find an ever-changing selection of gently used clothes, tools, books, furniture, lamps, crafts, puzzles, dishes, glassware, records, and collectibles — all donated by generous community members. Every purchase made helps fund vital programs for vulnerable children both locally and globally.
