Two Town of La Plata businesses recently celebrated milestone anniversaries! Congratulations to Atlantic Office Supply (6261 Crain Highway in the Hawthorne Shopping Center) on their 40th Anniversary. A well-established part of the community, they sell a little bit of everything, including office supplies, household items, and candles, as well as copy, fax, and shipping services. They attribute their success to a strong customer base built over the years and word of mouth.
Material Girls Quilt Boutique (6750 Crain Highway, Unit B) is 20 years old! Robin Henley and her daughter Amy opened Material Girls 20 years ago in hopes of growing a community of friends and guiding everyone through their sewing and crafting journey, no matter their skill or stitching style.
Material Girls offers a wide variety of sewing, crafting and quilting supplies, Bernina and Bernette sewing and embroidery machines, educational classes, and more. Their store features an inviting, down-home environment where customers are greeted by name, with warm smiles and sunny hellos.
