| Carol and Glenn Drumgoole at Texas Star Trading Co. | |
Congratulations to Texas Star Trading Co., Abilene, Tex., which celebrated its 20th anniversary on Monday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, refreshments, and a prize wheel. Glenn and Carol Dromgoole opened the store in 2004 in a small space next to the historic Paramount Theatre in an old hotel that was being renovated into upscale apartments. Three years later, the Dromgooles moved the store up the street to a much larger space.
During the birthday festivities, customers could spin the wheel to win a free gift--no purchase required. Many of the prizes were donated by the University of Texas Press, Texas A&M University Press, as well as by gift and gourmet vendors and showrooms at the Dallas Market Center.
In a Facebook post, the owners noted: "We've met new friends along the way and have had super employees help us on this journey. We couldn't have done it without you!"
