Here is a link to an article in the Daily InterLake about Flathead Industries new Thift Store in Kalispell:

Last June, after our great breakfast at the Buffalo Cafe in Whitefish, my daughter and I checked out the Flathead Industries thrift store in Whitefish. We enjoyed the many great bargains there and we especially enjoyed seeing a number of the clients of this organization working in the store itself. I am impressed with this organization.
So if you want to take a break from hiking, shopaholics will enjoy these thrift stores as well as the large Salvation Army thrift store in Kalispell. I probably will have to tell my wife about these stores sooner or later but only AFTER we get some hiking done.
