Moreover, business has been going well for the Days and the community is hopeful that they will continue their operation at the Poole’s Store location.
June Update: Calvin and Mickey Day continue to do a brisk business at the Poole’s Store location on River Road. They are talking with the County about extending their lease. There are still veggie seedlings and beautiful bedding plants available along with feed and seed- come on down!
April Update: If you were wondering where to get your vegetable starters, annuals and perennials…don’t! Like the joyous springs of the past, they are still available at the Poole’s store location. Yes, they have hanging baskets and pelleted lime and more. So get in yer buggy, grab the kids and head on over before all those cool pansies and fine tomato plants are gone!
