Over the next couple of months, three local businesses will be closing their doors. On Saturday, February 16th, Polka Dots will be closing their store at 246 Bridge Street. The shop, a women's clothing boutique, opened nearly two and a half years ago but has recently found business slow. --- Originally, (owner Susan) Randels said that the store was doing well, but that the momentum could not keep up. "The things that sold in Paoli didn't sell in Phoenixville," she said, adding that some customers thought that the store was too expensive or the sizing did not go high enough (size 12 being the highest size sold). "We tried everything." Randels also said that parking was an issue for many of her customers who could either not find spaces or did not feel safe parking behind the store. --- Polka Dots remains open until the 16th, with hours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 610-935-5914.

Join us for a night of food and fun. We will be offering samples of our all natural beverages, a dessert cordial, as well as debuting our Cookie Dough Pops (yes, we give you permission to eat this dough!). They're so good we're giving them away--IF you're one of the first 50 customers. We'll also be raffling off a commercial grade baking sheet, a Silpat® silicone baking sheet and an oven thermometer; the raffle is open to any customer who purchases cookie dough. Come help us celebrate!
