Yesterday the Greenville Area Chamber of Commerce had the privilege of hosting a ribbon cutting for Hometown Spirit Shop as they celebrate their Grand Opening.

Hometown Spirit Shop (previously Image M-porium) changed ownership just after the new year. It continues to be a custom apparel shop with the same great merchandise and a deep commitment to the community.

It is now owned by the Tarkowski family. When Molly (previously a teacher for GPS) spoke at the event she said this all started with a cricket and a dream. She is excited to serve this community, dream up designs and watch them come to life at sporting and community events.

We wish you so much success! Congratulations! 💜💛
