The Price Center’s Shop 1893 is celebrating its two-year anniversary with a month-long customer appreciation sale throughout July. Over the past two years, the downtown resale shop has become a destination attraction for a whole new audience, which has helped generate more awareness and revenue for the center’s overall operation. As a gesture of thanks, all Price Center* (PC) marked merchandise is 25% 0ff throughout the shop, all month long. (Some merchandise is 50% - 75% off.)
The original two-story 130-year-old chapel provides a backdrop to the eclectic Shop 1893, which opened as a response to the COVID-induced lack of venue rentals — the primary source of revenue for the Price Center. The shop now features more than 30 individual vendors — including the Price Center and Barely Paper Bear.
“I’m so happy to have space in Shop 1893,” said Carol Powers, former owner of Paper Bear in downtown San Marcos, who currently rents two spaces in Shop 1893. “There’s good energy and a sense of community in the Shop. Friendly conversation, amazing variety, and great prices, make a must stop.”
