WILLIAMSBURG -- A pottery store than has been a big tourist draw for decades in Williamsburg is reopening.
The doors of Williamsburg Pottery closed more than a year ago for a major renovation. Now, the finishing touches are being put on the $30 million transformation of Williamsburg Pottery. It will officially reopen on Thursday.
Many people have been eagerly awaiting the store's reopening.
"People would stop in here and ask when it the pottery reopening, or where is it, what happened to it," said Cheryl Chestnutt Brown.
Nearby business owners are hoping shoppers and tourists going to Williamsburg Pottery will also give their businesses a boost.
"We're thrilled that its opening, and we expect a lot more traffic to come through," commented Beverly Grimes.
During construction, the pottery store had only 50 employees. When it reopens, it will have 150 employees with plans to hire more.
