Lazaros Giannos opened the first brick-and-mortar Thrift Boutique storefront in 2025 in Dundalk. The store provides residents with affordable clothing, footwear and household goods.

"We chose Golden Ring Business Center because it is centrally located within our desired expansion footprint," Giannos said in a release.

"Our current location does not have adequate storage and this warehouse will help us properly organize and sort products."

Giannos said he is planning to open a second location of The Thrift Boutique in 2026, with plans to open another four sites within the next five years.

The Greek-American business owner started The Thrift Boutique out of his home garage after immigrating to the U.S. in 2008.

The Thrift Boutique site in Dundalk can be found at 1589 Merritt Blvd. The store is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
