From all of us at the Joseph’s team, we’d like to thank you. Not just our customers, but our friends. For weeks, we have had big plans for the future of Joseph’s Department Store. We’ve been counting down to our 80th Anniversary (EIGHTY YEARS!) and creating one of our favorite window displays, ever. Our friends in Havre de Grace came through for us, offering us whatever they could to help us paint a picture of life from 1937 until 2017. Thanks again to Jolene, (@Joretro) George, (@bahoukas_antiques) John, (@washingtonstreetbooks) Paula, (@bighousesigns) as well as Diane, Tyler and anyone else who came through to help get us showroom ready.
We stole the spotlight at the first First Friday of 2017 long enough to receive recognition and proclamations from our friends in the city and county. Thank you to County Executive Barry Glassman, Mayor Bill Martin, Councilman Chad Shrodes, Council President Richard Slutzky, County Councilman Curtis Beulah with his wife Jean, David Craig, Councilman David Glenn and Councilman Steve Gamatoria for your kind words and acknowledgments.
The staff at Joseph’s came together to bring a little bit of ourselves into the store that we love so much. Beverly, seeing your windows come from a vision to reality blew us all away. Alex kept the flow of business running smoothly as we received new Spring merchandise and remained open for business through the process. Thanks to Carrie, Fran, Kay, Maria & Joan for your stellar customer service while we got everything ready to show. While Scott has had a little (BIG) project of his own.
As we proudly look back on 80 years, family owned and operated at Joseph’s in Havre de Grace, we can’t help but look forward. The evolving trends of retail bring us into the digital world. We re-relaunched JosephsDepartmentStore.com with more functionality than ever before. We have the power to sell our in store inventory anywhere. Shop online for the newest arrivals while we continue to upload more of our 10,000+ piece inventory. Conveniently shop online for in store pickup so you can still try it before you buy it. We’re offering many other options through USPS and UPS to get your purchases to you a quickly as you wish. We’re already noticing that hundreds of our customers have visited us at our new home on the web. It’s with great pride that we relaunched such a powerful new website and we hope you’ll love it as much as we do.
