Leeward Landing Thrift Store is expanding.
​The manager for the Route 1 thrift shop received Planning Board approval Thursday, May 12, to build an 824-square-foot addition to the back of the current 2,180-square-foot store. Construction will start as soon as possible, according to store manager Jon Werner.
