On Wisconsin: Small Towns Gear up for Holiday Season
Evansville, WI – Shelley Meredith was a little hurried when I met up with her last week at the business she manages in this city’s quaint downtown.
Christmas can do that to a retailer.
Meredith doesn’t sell flat-screen televisions, peddle iPhones or have aisles of board games and toys.
But that doesn’t mean this time of the year is laid back or not important to the bottom line. The Hometown Pharmacy she manages is a gift shop, a place to buy cards, home décor items and holiday decorations for all seasons.
