Goodnatures

We have a department store in our town that has been here for over 50 years. They have a great deal of merchandise and compete with the big stores like target and Wal-Mart 20 miles away. If you can't find it at Goodnatures, you don't need it. That is their slogan. For years they have also had an Annex where you could get all the bath and bed and sewing items you could ever want and their prices are very good. However, they sold out everything in it and it is temporarily closed right now. It is going to open as an upscale boutique. I believe that will bring even more people to our little town to shop. At any given time, you can see all kinds of cars lined up along both sides of the street and around the corner with people shopping at Goodnatures. Mr. Goodnature, who started it, used to walk up and down the street noting the various counties and states on the license plates. That is because people come from everywhere to shop their. Our niece in Ankeny comes up here to shop and that is about 110 miles south of us. We are very fortunate to have good businesses in our small town and it is nice to walk in and have the clerks call you by name.
