Curiosity Shop

The Nellie G. Allen Curiosity Shop is a nonprofit thrift store located at 1100 Middleford Road in Seaford, Delaware, operated by Soroptimist International of Seaford to support the organization’s community mission. Founded on March 25, 1961, the shop has been a cornerstone of local philanthropy for over six decades, originally located on High Street before relocating to its current space near Soroptimist Park in 2002. The store sells quality second-hand merchandise at affordable prices, carefully curating donated items to ensure their suitability for resale while declining furniture and large appliances. Through its operations, the Curiosity Shop generates funds that enable the Soroptimist Club to make annual contributions to community activities and organizations, making it both a destination for budget-conscious shoppers and a vital fundraising initiative for local charitable work.
