East Coast Thrift and Kali Rose Boutique Coming to Natick

East Coast Thrift, which already has stores in Clinton and Spencer, has filed paperwork to open at 244 Worcester St., the former Joann Fabric site. The chain describes itself as a trendy thrift store selling second-hand clothing, shoes, housewares, electronics, books and jewelry; no formal announcement has been made, but something is expected by year-end. Separately, Kali Rose Boutique, an online and pop-up women's clothing business, is preparing to open a pop-up at Natick Mall near the Apple Store and says it may stay if the pop-up goes well.
