FROM ADA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FACEBOOK__No more April Fools here, we have a sad update from our friends at The Mercantile On Main:

“Hard to believe we've been in business almost 8 years - since July of 2018!

We have enjoyed the support of the Ada community and are thankful for the opportunity to provide a unique shopping experience; but the time has come to close. We will miss many of you who frequent the store to shop or just stop in for a visit, and are thankful God had our paths cross at The Mercantile.

Our "Going out of Business" sale begins this week with 30% off any purchase.”
