Goody’s opened in Dillon on Wednesday morning at 214 Radford Boulevard, the former Peebles store in the Dillon Plaza.
Anxious shoppers lined up waiting for the ribbon to be cut, and the doors to open to the new store where once inside they found quality, brand name apparel and accessories and a great selection of juniors and men’s apparel.
Early birds–the first 150 shoppers–were rewarded with a free Goody’s tote bag. They also received sales fliers receiving a 15 percent discount as they entered the store. [slide]
