Project Description

Treasures Markets used NMTC financing to renovate a vacant commercial building at 515 N. Franklin St. for a store that donates its proceeds to local nonprofits and provides jobs for people who have a hard time finding work. Another part of the store’s social mission is offering affordable merchandise and fresh food to a part of the city that has limited access to these items. The 27,000 sq. ft. store, situated behind the McDonald’s near J. P. McCaskey High School, sells discounted groceries, furniture, clothing and other retail items made available from closeouts and donations.
