FISH thrift store renovation on North Carson Street moves forward
The renovation of the FISH thrift store in Carson City will advance beginning Thursday as volunteer crews commence the reframing of the building. The store will remain open for business during the renovation.
Volunteers from Black Pine Construction and the Kiwanis Club will remove the large glass panes from the storefront and install a new framing for the planned Western design. The demolition phase of the project was completed in May by volunteers from the Western Nevada College Construction Program.
A few weeks from now, the new windows will be installed by Fast Glass. Final touches will include brick work done by Northeast Masonry and painting by American Pride Painting. F&G construction continues to provide general contractor support, and Meeks Lumber, Home Depot, Sign-Pro, Miles Construction, and Piedmont Truss & Lumber have also assisted FISH with this project. Project design was provided by Robert Darney Architect and JP Coupolus.
“FISH is grateful to have the support of the community as we make these improvements to the store and the downtown corridor,” said executive director Jim Peckham.
The inside store phase of the renovation will be the installation of custom wallpaper displaying historic photos from the Carson City area, with thanks to Jed Block and Mike Nelson from Grafx 8 Media Group.
The store is part of the organization’s complex that includes the Family Dining Room, Ross Clinic, food bank and administrative offices. FISH is in the process of modernizing the facilities, which are more than 50 years old. Improvements have been made to the parking lot, offices, and thrift store interior; now they will renovate the store’s exterior.
FISH welcomes any volunteers with experience in installing wallpaper to contact them at 775-882-3474 or jim@nvfish.com.

All proceeds from the FISH thrift store directly fund their emergency services programs. For more information, please contact FISH by telephone at 775-882-FISH (3474), by email at info@nvfish.com, or online at www.nvfish.com.
