July vacation time

Since Mom opened the store in 1988, we have always been closed on Independence Day. This year is no different.

In addition to being closed on Thursday, the 4th, we will also be closed Tuesday and Wednesday the 2nd and 3rd of July to let ourselves have a small vacation time.

We will re-open on Friday, July 5th for our regular hours.

Groovin’ on the Green

We are excited that the Town of Pendleton, along with the Pendleton Area Business Association, are planning these 6 musical evenings for everyone to enjoy.

Bring your lawn chair or a blanket and enjoy this free entertainment.

The Mercantile plans to remain open until 8:00 pm each of the Wednesdays. We will have some items on display out on the sidewalk, but lots more to explore inside.

In case of inclement weather, the Town will make the call as to whether to cancel the event or not. If it is cancelled, please call us before coming during the extended hours as we may close earlier than 8:00.

New fixtures

Hello all. As we progress with our interior updates, we have gotten some new fixtures.

We hope you are as excited about the new look as we are.

Last weekend was the 47th Spring Jubilee. We invited our dear friend Kathy Smiley of Wolfe Den Beads to have a pop-up inside The Mercantile. We has SO. MUCH. FUN! (And we did a lot of business, as is usual for Jubilee weekend.) Our friend Phyllis came to help us out, unfortunately, Suzanne got sick and could not join us as well. Hopefully she is feeling better.

Our updates are still a work in progress and we will be changing/adding more new fixtures to the space as time (and budget) allow.

If you wish to schedule a class, please give us a call or stop in and we will see what we can do. Our class schedule will come before too long, but in the meantime, we will gladly do classes by request. A minimum of 24 hours is needed, some classes require 48 hours notice for sufficient preparation time. We still will try to mostly keep our classes to Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. (We need time to attend to other needs in the store.)

We hope you are all doing well.

See you soon!
