Thank you to the Washington Chamber of Commerce and all of the participating member businesses who coordinated a very successful first block party in downtown Franklinton. Goes to show what's possible in this great little town with a little planning, hard work and coordination.

Amazing turnout out tonight in downtown Franklinton for the block party! So much potential.

As we approach the changing of the seasons we will begin closing at 3pm on Saturdays until next Spring. We typically see a decrease in Saturday evening business once football season kicks off and days grow shorter. Enjoy the festivities this Fall brings and come by little earlier on Saturdays! Tuesday-Friday hour will remain the same. Thank you!

I've been reading several posts about how businesses will be handling debit card transactions given the new law prohibiting the surcharges. Here at Bessie's we have never added any fees or surcharges to any transaction, so we're ahead of the game. I just never felt surcharges were the right thing for our customers and we have always factored these costs into our general operating and overhead expenses. Thank you for your continued loyalty.
