Town ’n’ Country Mall is opening its doors to bargain hunters next month with the Community Second Chance Sale, an indoor market giving residents a chance to sell gently used items—and shop for unique finds — without needing a driveway, a garage, or any combination of the two.

The event runs Friday, August 8 from 1 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, August 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., filling the mall’s common spaces with vendor tables.
