FLORENCE – The Shoals Chamber of Commerce welcomed another new business to our area Friday, Yazoo Trading Company. Yazoo is a new part of Fred’s Dollar Stores. Normally, when the Chamber holds one of these events, we see a big blue ribbon being cut… But not today! Instead, the folks broke out a “1 by 8” and cut in half with a hand saw! A fitting touch for a hardware store. The Yazoo Trading Company is located at 2950 Cloverdale Road, Florence.
Here’s what Yazoo Trading Company had to say about themselves:
Yazoo Trading Company, Discount Hardware, Auto & Pet Supplies
“Fred’s has long been a part of the Florence, Alabama community and we are excited to welcome our first new prototype store. The new Yazoo Trading Company features a wide selection of name brand hardware, automotive, lawn & garden and pet supplies, including services such as paint mixing, key making, battery testing, etc.
The Grand Opening “Ribbon Cutting Ceremony” will actually be a Board Cutting to emphasis the hardware theme.During the Grand Opening we will have Customer Shopping Spree giveaways, free product demonstrations and pet adoption services.
