We are planning for a carnival to take place the week days prior to Labor Day and over the Labor Day weekend.  A few possibilities are being considered and the committee needs to take the time to meet with each and choose best suited. The key factor is the Carnival will help raise funds for the 2018 Independence Festivities. Check back for details as they develop.

Thank you to the HdG Independence Day Committee, The Volunteers, Sponsors & YOU for your support

The Boutique @ Joseph’s Department Store is Here!

 

After a few years of planning, remodeling, coming up with a new plan, and changing it again, (and again) Joseph’s “Next-Door” is officially a “thing”  We considered turning it into a toy room, or a men’s work wear store, even a giant bargain bin to merchandise old inventory (cut-rate-Joes, say what?),  But in the end, Christy had a vision.  “The Boutique at Joseph’s” will be an on-going project all year long, coming up with the theme was the hard part.  Merchandising some of our favorite ladies brands is the fun part.   We officially opened the “B@JDS” on First Friday, just about 2 weeks ago and the feedback has been positive.  Some of our customers are still looking for the “clearance room,” our goal is to continue to offer discounted inventory at low prices, but instead of dedicating the entire space next door to a giant bargain bin, we’ll have sale racks throughout Joseph’s where you’ll be able to save.

Thank you for your continued support.  Keeping a small business open for 8 decades isn’t something we take for granted.  We appreciate all of our customers, old and new.

We hope you’ll enjoy an out of mall “boutique” shopping experience at Joseph’s.
