A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the grand opening of Freckles and Co. on May 3 in downtown Chipley.
The baby boutique is owned by Geri Johnson who opened the store to bring a selection of clothes for kids and babies because there wasn’t much to choose from in the area.
“After having five grandbabies in two years, I figured I needed to open up a store of my own,†Johnson said.
Washington County Chamber of Commerce members and city officials were on hand to help cut the ribbon at Chipley’s newest business, Freckles and Co. [DIANE M.
