Waterville businesses celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

WATERVILE, Maine (WABI) - Two Waterville businesses are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day without alcohol.

Mandy Perkins owns and runs the Retail Therapy Consignment Shop.

She says they specialize in women’s name-brand clothing, and if you wore green today, most items in the store were 50-percent off, with some exclusions.

Perkins says they pride themselves on the non-thrift shopping experience and are offering the special discount for the holiday.

As for Incense and Peppermints, co-owner Malcolm Porter says they’re serving oreos dipped in mint fudge and Irish creme fudge.

“We have a great vibe in the store. It’s women supporting women. We do have some men that shop here as well. And it’s just fun. It’s very welcoming. You always get a smile, you get that personal customer service,” Perkins said.

”Well, I think that people should definitely drop in and see us on St. Patrick’s Day. We have a lot of tastes of the Irish items here. But there’s also a lot of other fun type items too. And not only that, but with Easter coming up, you know, there’s an opportunity for you to get some of your Easter candy early,” Malcolm said.

The consignment shop has been open for 8 years and opens back up at 10 am tomorrow.

Incense and Peppermints loses will also be open tomorrow.
