LAURINBURG — A new clothing store will have its grand opening on Black Friday.

The store, 1st Day of School Fresh, will open to sell shoes, clothing, accessories and more. Doors open Friday at 10 a.m. The business is located at 325-C North Main St. near the Hill Top Plaza and Nic’s Pic Kwik.

The shop will have everything from women’s dresses, socks, winter jackets and children’s clothes to pocket books and other accessories.

“Most of it comes from the Polo company or other online sites,” said store owner Liddiel Williams. “We also have merchandiser from California.”

Williams said opening the store was a lifelong dream.

“I decided to open a clothing store because I used to be a sports guy and payed for Scotland basketball and I knew there wasn’t a career in that,” he said. “Also I always wanted to open a business, it’s been a long time dream of mine.”

For information about the store, call Williams at 910-258-1555.
