Celebrating 25 years!

Anniversary Open House

Saturday, August 24, 2013

10 AM – 5:30 PM

Refreshments; Door Prizes; Make & Takes; and more…

Connie and Bill Earl opened The Mercantile for business on August 23, 1988

at 149 East Queen Street in  Pendleton, SC.

Over the years they were joined by two of their daughters; Terri Earl Brooks and

Cindy Earl Higgins, who both continue Connie’s dream today.

What began as a gift shop has evolved into a gift shop that also specializes in rubber stamping, paper arts and beading.  We still carry Gourmet Coffee Beans, Candles, Old Fashioned Candy, Toys, gifts and Greeting Cards.  Newer items include additional tabletop décor, hand crafted soaps and the return of gourmet food mixes. 

We also offer creative classes for all ages.

Please, come join us for the celebration!

Closed New Years Day

As we ring in the new year, we will be closed on Saturday, January 1, 2011.
We will re-open on Monday, January 3, 2011 with our regular hours.
And, we would like to take this time to thank all of our customers, friends and family for their support in 2010.
Wishing a New Year full of what you need.

Saturday Night Make & Take

What a fantastic evening!
We had a crowd of rubber stampers join us after the Heirloom Rubber Stamp and Paper Arts Festival for an evening of Make & Takes.
A good part of the evening was standing room only. There was a selection of 10 Make & Takes (9 cards and 1 bracelet). Laughter abounded and a great time was had by all.
I neglected to get a photo of our door prize winner with her prize, but she is in the photo at the counter in front of Terri.
We'll have to go in a little early today to prep more Make & Take kits for this afternoon.

It's Our Birthday!

Today is the 20th birthday of the Mercantile.

We did not have a ribbon-cutting 20 years ago, so we decided to have one today. Pendleton Mayor Carol Burdette (a former employee) spoke briefly and did the honors of cutting the ribbon. We also had lots of goodies to eat and a Birthday Card Make & Take.

Thank you to all who joined us so far today, friends, family and strangers as well!

Thank you to all of our friends and customers who have supported us these last 20 years, we look forward to many more.
