Ada’s newest business, Pallet Girls, opened recently in the former Reichert’s storefront at 111-113 S. Main St.

Owners Michelle Pierce and Shane Downing, lifelong Ada residents, have had a “soft” opening as merchandise continues to fill the store.

“We feature liquidation merchandise,” Michelle told the Icon. “Our merchandise is from major realtors including Target, Sam’s Club and Walmart.”

“We purchase pallets of items. Nearly 98 percent includes new items,” she said. “We may have some return items that have boxes open.”

Most items are priced from 40 to 50 percent off retail.

Drive Time Driving Instruction is now part of a pilot program

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Mom is riding with her teenage student-driver son. She sees brake lights ahead. Her son continues to accelerate. She gasps. Grabs the ‘on crap’ handle. Son rolls his eyes. “I’ve got this, Mom.”

This is a common occurrence when in the car with a new driver. Is Mom being overly cautious? Is son being too aggressive? Maybe a little bit of both?

Students at Drive Time Driving Instruction, Bluffton, can now take an objective driving simulation to identify both what they are doing well, and what they could be doing better.  The simulator is an optional tool available to parents and students.
