“Deck the Halls, Ya’ll,” a local business on Beebe Capps Expressway, recently opened to provide customers with all of their holiday needs.
According to their Facebook business profile, the store sells Christmas garlands, wreaths, ornaments, ribbons, deco mesh, Elf on the Shelf, stocking stuffers and more.
The owner of the store, Paul Guess, was excited about opening his new holiday store.
Guess grew up in Prairie County so he said he was very fond of Searcy. He wanted to open this store to spread Christmas cheer to White County and beyond.
Danae Wilson, an employee at the store, talked about the different themes the store has to offer which consist of “Fresh Pickings,” “Woo Pig Sooie,” “Traditional,” “Whimsical” and “Crosses and Crowns.”
“Fresh Pickings” has more of a nature feel to it. The section has birds’ nests, sugar cones and burlap ribbons. Guess got this idea from a memory of cutting fresh trees around Christmas time when he was younger.
“Woo Pig Sooie” has Razorback decorations, “Traditional” has red, green and gold accents, “Whimsical” has a more fun side to it like a Dr. Seuss book, but is still traditional. “Crosses and Crowns” has gold ornaments and golden white ribbon.
There is also a game day section, offering a variety of tote bags and tumblers for different schools, such as LSU, Ole Miss, Florida Gators, Mississippi State and Alabama.
According to Guess, the store does not have sales.
“We don’t need to have sales,” Guess said. “Our prices are great and so are our products. We offer an over-the-top experience and our customer service is over the top.”
The store is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Merchandise can be ordered from the “Deck the Halls, Ya’ll” Facebook shop all year, but the store is only open until Dec. 31.
