Offering quality clothing at a reasonable price is the goal of The Garment Shop's proprietor,
Jan Carpenter.  Jan's primary focus is to provide a level of customer service that has become
rare; her primary focus is to take the time to know each customer and learn to best meet their needs. 
She believes that personal service is something people are looking for and
can't find in the "big" stores.  "They know we will help them to find something and
they won't leave the store empty-handed."  Jan has been offering old-fashioned personal service
with friendliness and expertise since 1978.
The Garment Shop offers all sizes  including missy, petites, plus sizes, children's and menswear.

The clientele of The Garment Shop runs the gamut, dressing ages 2 - 99 (Jan's mother is 93). 
The lines they carry are very unique.  "It feels good to dress the younger crowd," says Jan. 
Her granddaughter's range in age from 7 - 16.  Because of Jan's flair for dressing all ages, she has a large following.
"This is my favorite store," clients say of Jan's shop. If they have a wedding coming up or a vacation on the beach,
they are shopping at The Garment Shop.  You will find a variety of clothing items from |
shorts, skirts, professional clothing, dresses, sweaters, coats, and a myriad of a
ccessories (jewelry, hats, handbags, scarves, and much, much, more!).

"Every figure is different.  Challenges are fun and customers feel good when you
dress them in something they enjoy wearing and they leave with a smile," says Jan.

New merchandise is coming in regularly.  Reminiscent of the 40's, April Cornell is one of the
many lines Jan carries at The Garment Shop.  Visit them and see the Fall-Winter '08 collection
which will begin arriving in August.  Soft, romantic prints on richly textured fabrics,
combined with versatile and fluid coordinates will provide an eclectic selection of
outfits ideal for any active lifestyle.  Jan believes in keeping her merchandise fresh and moving!
