Bargain hunters got a jump on their seasonal shopping Saturday at the Ben’s Five and Dime Annual Holiday Open House, which lasts until 5 p.m.
The doors opened at 9 a.m., and the aisles quickly filled with shoppers eager for the 20% discount on all items, with many entering to win a Christmas gnome in the Dec. 1 drawing.
“We’re absolutely ready for a big day,” said Ben’s owner Andrea Tunink.
Longtime Ben’s staffer Lori Mallicoat helped to fortify her fellow workers for the busy day ahead with half-a-dozen St. Pat’s cinnamon rolls.
