BROKEN BOW – One thing Broken Bow is great at is coming together as a small town to offer a warm welcome, which is exactly what happened on Thursday morning. The Broken Bow Chamber welcomed a new business and welcomed the new owner of an old business.
Crossroads Mission Ave Thrift opened its doors to the Broken Bow community on
December 11, 2023, at the old Bow Booterie building. Crossroads Mission Avenue gives an option to purchase low-cost clothing and household goods, as well as an opportunity for residents to recycle their unneeded items by donating to the store.
Deb Lomneus, Broken Bow Store Manager spoke about an option for a pick-up service for major donations.
“Also if they have a major donation like an apartment clean out or large furniture and aren’t in a huge huge hurt, we do pick up slips, and when our guys come up from Hastings, we have them to get as many pick-ups and they can while they’re here”.
Crossroads Mission Ave Thrift hours are 10:00 am to 6:00 p.m. Monday – Friday and 9 am – 5 p.m. on Saturdays. In the alleyway behind Mission Ave is a “Win Bin” where soft donations are accepted.
The next ribbon cutting was for H&R Block, which is now owned by Roger Sorensen. H&R Block has been a part of the Broken Bow Community for 28 years now. Sorensen also now owns the Ord and Oneill H&R Blocks.
Janet Chalupa, senior tax analyst and office manager spoke about H&R Blocks hours.
“Our hours during tax season are 9:00 – 6:00 Monday-Friday, and Saturdays 9:00 – 5:00. After tax season we will be open two to three days a week and the hours are uncertain at this point”.
City Administrator David Schmit offered both places a warm welcome.
