Out of the Closet Ribbon Cutting on Saturday
The thrift shop donates most of its profits to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
Thrift store chain Out of the Closet is opening its 23rd location in North Hollywood on Saturday.
Owned and operated by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, 96 cents of each dollar spent at the store goes toward HIV/AIDS testing, advocacy and treatment.
And like all other Out of the Closet locations, the newest store at 4227 Lankershim Blvd. will offer free HIV testing and complimentary condoms.

"People can also feel good that their donations and purchases are helping to provide lifesaving care around the world," said Jonathan Kreuyer, general manager of retail operations. "Shopping at Out of the Closet is probably the easiest way to make a personal impact in the global fight against HIV and AIDS."
A ribbon cutting ceremony for the new shop is being held at noon on Saturday. Free tacos, popcorn, cotton candy, and soft drinks on the sidewalk will be served on the sidewalk in front the business.
