25 Years Of Partridge Tree Gifts
Danvers, MA – Regular shoppers at Partridge Tree Gift Shop know Jackie Fiandaca as the friendly and competent face behind the counter. After all, Fiandaca has been running the exclusive little gift shop on the corner of Elm and High Street for the past 13 years.
What many would be surprised to learn, is that Fiandaca is not the owner. Joanne McMahon, who is originally from Buffalo, NY, opened Partridge Tree Gift Shop in 1986. This year the gift shop is set to celebrate its 25 year anniversary next month.
“I opened the store on Nov 11, 1986, and yes, I was 15 yrs old,” McMahon joked. The location couldn’t have been more perfectly suited for the unique little shop, with dozens of other small businesses, like banks and hair salons as neighbors. There was bound to be a lot of foot traffic, which was a key factor in McMahon’s prime locale.
