Per the Facebook event:
“Coon’s Card and Gift Shop located at 226 Essex Street, has re-opened their doors after a complete face lift.

We are celebrating our beautiful new and improved store and 65 years of business Thursday evening May 10, 2018 from 6-10 pm. Come and see the complete remodel, enjoy some food and listen to some great live music. Stacey Lynne Kelleher, Karen’s niece will be performing live music of her newly released self titled EP.

Borah Brewington Snaggletooth XIII from Salemsblackhatsociety.com will also be joining us for the evening!

Coon’s is one of Salem’s oldest retailers, with a tradition of providing Salem residents and visitors with unique gifts, souvenirs, and huge selection of greeting cards.

Coon’s was originally established in 1953 as a jewelry store by its founding owner, Arthur Coon.

Over the last six decades it has changed locations several times throughout the city, each time expanding and growing. Coon’s is also the home of Penelope’s Pet Boutique which merged into the gift shop in 2014, supplying Salem with a variety of pet apparel, gifts, toys and locally baked treats. On most days, you can find Jorge, Karen’s faithful Yorkie behind the counter!

Karen Davis, owner, had a vision to completely update and energize the store and it’s location. After joining forces with Paul Destefano of Destefano Store Fixtures of Lawrence MA, ‘Magic’ has happened and an unbelievable transformation has occurred. ‘You will have to see it to believe it!’ Karen Davis

We look forward to seeing the reaction of both our new and loyal customers.”

This event is happening on May 10th, 2018 from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Coon’s Cards and Gift Shop is located at 226 Essex St. Salem, MA 01970. Enjoy!! <3
