Bluffton has a new downtown retail shop, and it opened just in time for the holidays.
Roots by Strattons, a satellite of Stratton Greenhouses, opened this week in the former Et Cetera Shop, 111 S. Main St.
Susie Stratton, says, “It’s a dream come true. For several years we’ve wanted to open a storefront on Main Street.”
Residents with a very long memory can recall Susie’s “Plants and Things,” storefront on Main Street from 1977 to 1979. So, in a way, it’s a return downtown.
Keep your reading glasses focused on Book ReViews, Bluffton’s used book store.
The store at 123 S. Main St., is undergoing some changes, and it will be reopened for the Saturday Blaze of Lights.
Peggy Brown, manager of Ten Thousand Villages, 115 S. Main St., and Book ReViews said, “We are in the process of reorganizing the shop and creating a new process to rotate the books.”
Here are some sneak peek looks inside the store as it prepares for a reopening. And be certain to check out the "book fireplace wiindow display."
