A few words from Betty:

“As many of you know there is a new manager at The Highland Thrift Shop.

My name is Betty Merrill. I have been married to Jason Merrill for 16 years.

We live on Chestnut Ridge Road in Grantsville with our two children.  We have a son, Garrett Merrill, who is 14 and a daughter, Adrianna Merrill, who is 11. Many of you probably recognize me from the Shop ’n Save, where I was a store manager. I look forward to meeting all of our customers."

The board of The Highland Thrift Shop is very happy that Betty joined us in

fulfilling our mission of providing a safe, clean, and affordable place to shop.  Betty is very involved in the local community and Boy Scout Pack 460.  Please say hello on your next visit.
