Grand reopening of gift shop set for today
Alton, IL – Miss Eunice’s Hat Box gift shop will hold its grand reopening today at Alton Memorial Hospital with a holiday display of trees and lights showcased in a glass atrium.
“The new space has allowed us to spread our wings with better visibility for merchandising,” said Susie Bechtold, gift shop manager. “For the holidays, we will turn the shop into a winter wonderland.”
Year round, the shop carries special, boutique-like items such as jewelry and handbags, as well as essentials such as toothbrushes and shampoo.
Volunteers staff the gift shop and all profits benefit the hospital. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday; and occasional Sundays. The gift shop will be open during the Women’s Wellness Fair on Saturday, Nov. 20, and will be offering 20 percent off selected items.
