>> "When Bob and Patty Neal pulled up to the New Image Thrift Store on West 
>> Kearney Street on Friday afternoon, they were disappointed to find the 
>> store closed.
>> "I like the store," Patty Neal said. "Especially because it is a 
>> charity."
>> The store was nearly emptied, and a sign on the door announced that it 
>> was closed, to reopen at a new location soon. The sign went up Thursday.
>> That new site is only a few blocks north in the Town & Country Shopping 
>> Center on Kansas Expressway, and the Missouri Council of the Blind, which 
>> owns the thrift store, hopes to open Dec. 1, according to William 
>> Hawkins, treasurer of the council and chair of the thrift store 
>> committee.
>> The council closed the store after breaking off its relationship with 
>> Henderson Management, which has managed the store under one of its 
>> affiliates for the past 22 years.
>> "The relationship is pretty much dissolved," said John Simsheuser with 
>> Henderson Management. Simsheuser is overseeing the closure.
>> Hawkins said the inventory has been put into storage and will be moved to 
>> the new location next week. The council has temporarily stopped accepting 
>> donations.
>> A plan to meet with the employees at the store was put on hold until 
>> their relationship with Henderson is severed, Hawkins said.
>> Hawkins had indicated that the council hopes to hire those employees, if 
>> possible.
>> The new location for the store is much larger than its former location, 
>> with 17,000 square feet, including warehouse space, said Ross Murray, 
>> vice president of R.B. Murray Company, which is handling the lease with 
>> Jared Enterprises.
>> Located in the former Town and Country Cinema, the thrift store will 
>> utilize the majority of the facility, while a Five Guys Burgers and Fries 
>> will move into the former lobby area, Murray said.
>> Some work is being done to the facility to accommodate both businesses, 
>> he said. "Mr. (Curtis) Jared is doing everything he can to help the 
>> Missouri Council of the Blind."
>> Hawkins said the new location will be more functional and economical, and 
>> the council itself will manage the business, which is the primary source 
>> of income for the organization.
>> The Council of the Blind provides a variety of services for people across 
>> the state who have visual impairments. The council has two affiliates in 
>> the area, the Springfield and the Queen City service clubs."
