20 Days!

We have less than 3 weeks now before the shop officially opens for business. In the coming days there will be extensive improvements on the shop- sign posted, trim hung, products placed. The shop will go from an empty construction site to a well-stocked retail envirnoment. Look for our coupons valid through opening week to be dispersed throughout town.

Shop Development

Shop- Spring of 2010


Preparing for the opening of Hands Around the Plain is a multi-faceted process. These past couple of months have been filled with construction, ordering, planning and watching the vision of HATP actually come to life. We'd like to especially thank all the volunteer groups who have helped with the construction. Our deepest appreciation goes to those who are contributing by donating time and man-power.

Starting Off

We are working fervently on getting the shop ready for opening day (tentatively Nov. 15). The process of selecting product, building inventory, working with construction, and partnering with interns is an energetic experience. The community support is proven to be invaluable with the labor demands of construction for our shop. Thanks all! Every week we get closer to meeting our goals and learning more about the start-up of a business.

Look for our HATP posters around town in the coming weeks as the opening draws nearer!
