Chamber welcomes newest business to town – Howe Mercantile

On Friday, the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed the newest business to town, Howe Mercantile, which is located at 107 E. Haning St. in downtown Howe. Owner Georgia Caraway brought several of her friends from Denton where she resides and has been active in the community for many years.

Howe Mercantile carries luxury antiques and vintage clothing in the two units 107 and 109. She will have several partners working the store with her during their operating days of Thursdays through Saturdays.

It was the first Howe Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony other than their own. With the growing community of Howe, it appears that more of these events are sure to be taking place.

On-hand were Howe Mayor Jeff Stanley, Howe City Council Member Debbie Lowery, Grayson County Commissioner Jeff Whitmire and Howe Development Alliance Director Monte Walker.  Walker said a few words before the ribbon cutting congratulating Caraway and the partners for their grand opening and thanking them for choosing Howe and renovating the downtown units.

Friends of Caraway enjoyed a bite to eat at Abby’s Restaurant before going back to the store for cake, coffee and tea.
