Winn On Court Street No Longer "Discount"

The Old Winn DISCOUNT

And below,

the new Winn HOME & BEAUTY

When Winn Discount, the delightfully cluttered variety store at 299 Court Street, got a remodel last year,  the prices got a makeover as well and were adjusted upwards.  Now, a name change confirms that Winn is no longer a discount place.  New bold lettering on the storefront indicate that from now on, the place will be called Winn Home & Beauty.

Delightfully Cluttered Winn Discount On Court Street To Remodel

The shelves inside Winn Discount at 299 Court Street, the usually cluttered variety store, look rather sparse since every item in the store has been reduced by 50% during a remodeling sale. Afraid that the business was closing for good, I asked the owner if the store was indeed just getting a make-over. He assured me that the sale was just a way of getting rid of extra stock and that he was making room for some popular items and new lines.
I hope so. I love Winn Discount and its eclectic collection of merchandise. I would hate if it turned into just another Rite Aid or CVS.
How about you, dear reader?


Just as an aside: About twenty years ago, Mastellone, the deli next door at 303 Court Street, included the space now occupied by Winn's. Back then, Mastellone's was more of a supermarket.

In 90 Degree Heat, Winn Discount Brings Out The Halloween Decorations

As the heat rose all the way up to 90 degrees yesterday, it seemed a bit premature to be offering Halloween decorations. But here they were, right in front of Winn Discount. There were scarecrows and little plastic skeletons with orange and black bandanas.
It sure does not feel like fall yet, does it, dear reader?
