Roy and Marianne Ashbeck, owners of the Loyal Gable Store, have been in business one year in Loyal, and since they never held a Grand Opening, are combining it with their First Anniversary Sale this weekend. Free coffee and homemade cookies for everyone on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 24, 25, and 26, that stop in their store. In addition to the free coffee and cookies, they have a free gift for everyone who makes a purchase during their special sale. To show that the Ashbecks “Like It Here,” they are giving away $200 in prizes to those who come in and register, including a set of tires, a buffet set of Corningware dishes, a table radio, a hand vacuum cleaner, a Clairol hair setter, a new Hiawatha Bike, and many, many more. There will be values galore in the store with $20 to anyone buying a new refrigerator or freezer during the sale, and anyone needing a lawnmower will be interested in their special deal where the customer names the price. The Ashbecks are happy with their first year in business and want everyone in the area to come in and help them celebrate.
