“We’re a lifestyle boutique for men and women and over the years we’ve evolved, but we’ve never taken for granted the words, ‘The Southern Way’,” says owner Harry Bears. “In our vision, The Southern Way is, ‘yes sir,’ ‘no ma’am.’ It’s a comfortable shopping experience with great customer service. We put an emphasis on quality but remain committed to the entire shopping experience. You’ll be greeted on the way in and thanked on the way out. Over the years many of our customers have become just like family. We focus on lifestyle clothing. We carry lines that are not only comfortable but can be worn for work and play. Most of our clothing lines are performance wear, which makes laundry a breeze. Of course, we’ll give you washing and drying instructions at the checkout. We want your purchases to be your go-to choices.
“We’re also excited to soon add our new CEO, the lovely and talented Michelle Bears. Some of you know her as my wife, but a lot of you know her as the former owner of the TOY Store. Those of you who enjoyed the TOY store for 30 years will be as excited as we are to have her on board. She’ll bring an added level of energy for all of us to feed off of.
“We carry Mizzen and Main, Johnnie O, Onward Reserve, Rhone, Kerisma, Foil, Habitat, and many more. If you can’t find it somewhere else, we probably carry it. We’re open seven days a week all year long. Come on in and say “hello” and, yes, we ship.
