I was so excited to go home to Joplin to help move TJ Formal to it's new location! My mom purchased a huge, building at 508 N. Range Line, (formerly Hank's furniture) just north of the mall. We figured 36,000 some square feet should do it, haha!
It was sectioned off into three stores, ours being the largest main one, Lacy Jeweler's leased a smaller portion to the south, and another part for lease to the north. Thankfully it also has a large warehouse in back, that let us move some things in stages, to be stored there while remodeling construction went on in the main part of the building. But, most of the move happened in just a few days, while we closed our 20th street location. It was fast and furious, but that's nothing new around TJ! :)
Here are some photos before the merchandise was moved in:
