Oak Harbor clothing store making a change
Published 2:03 pm Friday, February 13, 2015
A longtime Oak Harbor clothing store is leaving historic downtown and moving to a new location across town.
It is the second business to vacate Pioneer Way in 2015.
Maurices, which has served Whidbey Island customers for decades, is moving to Island Plaza on State Highway 20 in a space next to Rite Aid.
A remodel and expansion of the building that once housed Hallmark began Jan. 1. The new location’s grand opening is Friday, Feb. 20.
The store will remain open at its Pioneer Way location through Sunday, Feb. 15, then reopen five days later at the new site, said store Manager Brittney Bronec.
The new location is at 31595 Highway 20.
In January, the Noble Horse Gallery equestrian-style boutique shut its doors on Pioneer Way and returned to Wildwood Farm on Happy Valley Road.
By contrast, Pioneer Way welcomed a new restaurant, Rustica, in November, and Whidbey Coffee is undergoing a major remodel.
