Johnson's Department Store to reopen with remodel and growth
Johnson's Department Store at Central Avenue and James Street is undergoing expansion after acquiring Rasco's building at 212 Central Ave. Don and Louise Jones, longtime local merchants, plan a full line of clothing and shoes for the family, integrating Humpty Dumpty Kids Shop, with ribbon cutting set for September 13 at 10 a.m. The project includes new paint, carpeting, awning, and plans to replace city trees with planters as part of a broader downtown facelift.
