Searcy residents will soon have a new store to do their bargain shopping when Tuesday Morning opens in town this coming April.
According to public relations associate for Tuesday Morning Lyndsey Johnson, the store will be located at Race Plaza, 2701 East Race Ave., Suite 6.
The idea behind Tuesday morning is to offer high-quality, brand-name products on an event basis at deeply discounted retail prices. The store holds 10 sale events every year, which are advertised online and in a catalog, Johnson said.
Some of the types of products Tuesday Morning will offer include house wear, gourmet foods, decorations, seasonal merchandise and dishes, all of which will be sold at discount prices.
Students said they are excited at the prospect of a having a new shopping opportunity in Searcy.
Freshman Corie Curtis said she is excited about the potential for thrift-style shopping. Curtis also said she has a Tuesday Morning in her own hometown where she enjoys shopping for a wide variety of discounted items.
“It’s cheaper [than a lot of other Searcy stores] and it’s fun to go around and see what you can find in your spare time,” Curtis said.
Freshman Lani Schwartz said she looks forward to having another store to buy arts and crafts materials from in Searcy.
“It’ll be nice to have a store that has a wide variety of materials to use for craft projects,” Schwartz said.
According to the store’s mission, Tuesday Morning’s pricing policy is to sell merchandise significantly below the regular retail prices found in specialty stores and catalogs. Johnson said Tuesday Morning has 13 other stores in Arkansas and five other stores in the Little Rock market.
Johnson said that although the official opening date is not yet decided, it will be released sometime in March. According to Johnson, store hours will be Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.
