Guardian Angel Thrift Store

Guardian Angel Thrift Inc. is a nonprofit thrift store located at 742 N Main Street in Fuquay-Varina, NC, that opened in 2001 to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research. Founded by Laura Gaddis in memory of her mother who suffered from the disease, the store has grown to over 26,000 square feet and offers a wide selection of clothing, furniture, books, collectibles, dishes, and more. With 65% of proceeds supporting Alzheimer’s research in North Carolina, the organization has expanded to multiple locations across the state and has contributed over $3 million to the cause.
