Putnam draws another business in

PUTNAM — The Putnam business community is magnetic.
For Thrift Happens, a consignment shop now on Providence Street, the attraction was the foot traffic Putnam offers.
Business owner Rachel Brodeur started her shop two years ago in Woodstock. But she moved here in February because of the foot traffic on Providence Street.
The town and the Putnam Business Association welcomed Thrift Happens to Putnam last week. She thanked her family and friends for the help. “I am so thankful.” She also complimented the town of Putnam and the Putnam Business association. “They’ve all been so supportive,” she said.
Kate Cerrone, PBA president, welcomed Thrift Happens. “She had a dream of having a consignment shop since she was young. She had this very specific dream and here it is. It’s come true.”
In his welcome, Putnam Mayor Barney Seney said business owners recognize what Putnam has to offer. “Rachel realized the important of having foot traffic to make it a successful business.”
