Shop Port, Think Local: Wardrobe Safari/Zing

For the next several weeks  wants to introduce you to some of our local businesses. We want to spotlight a new business each week and show you something that makes them special.

Up this week is .

As energized members of a downtown that is showing a revival in activity, we at Wardrobe Safari and Zing Accessories appreciate more than ever the Shop Port, Think Local promotion.

Fresh new storefronts are dotting Franklin Street, including , an , an , and a one-of-kind — just to name a few. Port residents have interesting new choices, all in one picturesque downtown, when it comes to shopping for personal items, gifts, or places to dine.

Conversely, has everything you could ask for in a grocery store —plus more — as it also carries beloved favorites from that re-energized downtown, especially when it comes to great food fares.

As a store owner, I work long days and having the time to shop elsewhere is a challenge. Enter Sentry!

When I close my shop at night, I can purchase sausage from , sauces from , salsa from , soups from , and frozen pizza from , all in one trip to Sentry ... (and I’ve done it many times!)

Thanks to the Shop Port, Think Local campaign, I’m supporting the other downtown business owners, just by doing my regular weekly shopping.

Additionally, in a pinch, I know I can go to Sentry, even at odd hours, and grab a gift certificate (to several different places) to put into a card as a gift-on-the-go.

I’m proud to have the privilege to put the Safari Girl body-care products on the shelves at Sentry. It’s a “made in America” product that I trust meets a need for Port residents.

My husband Jim and I want to give huge thanks for Steve and Jamie at Sanfilippo’s for putting this program together, we’re all winners in the Shop Port, Think Local promotion.
