Newly Expanded Barbour's General Store Opens For The Season

A tourist fixture in the Uptown is bigger and better this summer.
Barbour's General Store and Museum are offering hot and cold tea, "tea"-shirts and a spot to play checkers.  Sylvia MacVey-President of G.E. Barbour Inc. says they decided to expand after a complete change in the management team.

She says it's a way of showing Saint Johners they are part of the community now, always have been and will be for a long time.
The expansion is allowing the company to hire about ten staff and they will be hiring more people as they plan to increase their hours to tie in with events on the boardwalk.
