I hope this begins a new era of healthy delicious food in this area (new restaurants please!). I hear there will be a TJMaxx in the complex and a new movie theater.

Harmons will open Monday, May 2nd at 10am. But if you’re brave or an early riser you can celebrate in the parking lot starting at 6am where they will have breakfast treats and entertainment until 8am.  That’s when you want to arrive and get a wrist band (see below). From 8 until 10am they will have breakfast pizza. Then at 10am the store opens and there will be product samples. So hopefully you can get a wrist band at 8 and come back at 10.

Gift Bags
From their web site: “Be one of the first people in line at 8am for your chance at a gift bag valued at more than $50. Wristbands will be handed out starting at 8am to the first 200 people in line. These lucky shoppers will receive a Go Green gift bag filled with Harmons signature items, local products, and a Harmons Gift Card. Five random bags include a $500 Harmons Gift Card. (Gift Bags will be given after a purchase through the checkstand between 10:30am – 1:00pm. One wristband per family – must be 18yrs or older.)”

Contest
They are also holding a contest and if you win you get a $100 Harmons Gift Card for every week of the year.
