Shopping at home

If you are one of the many eager shoppers today taking advantage of all the bargains in every store, you are supporting local merchants and the local economy. You are providing jobs for hundreds of friends and neighbors. You are investing in the local economy. And you are, indirectly, contributing to the funding of essential services provided by local governments.

This area is fortunate to be a shopping hub for a large regional area. Our retail outlets offer a huge selection of the items that are must-haves on the lists of Christmas shoppers. Finding what you are looking for is a matter of driving a few minutes to your favorite store.
