For Immediate Release
The Exchange Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Scheduled for
Saturday, June 11, 2011 in Downtown Leesburg
Leesburg, VA (June 8, 2011) – At
3:00 p.m., on Saturday, June 11,
2011, Town of Leesburg officials
will hold a ribbon cutting
ceremony for the grand opening of
The Exchange located at 111 East
Market Street in Historic
Downtown Leesburg. Mayor
Kristen C. Umstattd will officiate.
The Exchange is a consignment
shop featuring “low mileage”
merchandise for you and your
home. Offering an ever-changing
selection of furniture, home décor,
garden art, rockers, patio sets, artwork, jewelry, designer handbags and more, customers are
sure to find something that catches the eye in this cozy two-level shop. Local delivery is
available and there is plenty of parking in the rear of the building.
“We believe that quality furniture and home décor do not have an expiration date,” said Co-
Owner Emily Kemp. “Weather permitting, we will place items in our front yard so that
customers can experience what our shop has to offer as they walk or drive by. Our prices are
fair and items move quickly, so it is important to stop in when an item catches your eye!”
Customers who come to the grand opening celebration will be treated to hamburgers and hot
dogs and greeted by former NFL star Brian Mitchell. There will be special sales offered and a
number of door prizes including the 2011 American Girl doll of the year “Kanani.”
“We are excited to welcome The Exchange to Leesburg,” said Economic Development Manager
Marantha Edwards. “It’s recycling at its best! Nationwide there is an increase in consignment
store sales because of the opportunity to purchase gently used merchandise at considerable
