To Our Cherished Customers and Friends,

After 92 memorable years in business, we have made the heartfelt and bittersweet decision to close our store—and as part of this farewell, we’re holding a Store Closing Sale where everything must go! It’s an incredible opportunity to find beautiful dresses at unbelievable prices, and we hope you’ll help us spread the word.

Existing brides and customers, no worries, everything will be completed in plenty of time

For three generations, it has been our honor and joy to serve this amazing community. We’ve watched families grow from pageants, prom girls, brides, and mothers—all from our beloved location on Market Street in Downtown Pocomoke.

While we’ll miss the daily rhythm of “shop life”, our loyal employees, and our dear customers, we look forward to embracing more time with our children, grandchildren, family, and friends.

A special thank you to Cathy Weichmann, who has been by our side for over 35 years, and to Wanda White, our longtime seamstress, whose talent ensured every bride, bridesmaid, and prom girl looked her best. We are deeply grateful to the City of Pocomoke, our mayor, city council, public works team, and all the wonderful city employees, who have supported us throughout the years.

Pocomoke City is more than the location of our store—it’s our home, where we’ve raised our family, and built a life full of cherished memories. Thank you for allowing us to be part of yours.

With deepest appreciation,

Judi and Marc Scher
