Tweed & Hickory, an Adventure in Lifestyle, Coming to East Point Shopping

Saint John, NB – Tweed & Hickory, a Canadian retail chain that offers its customers an “Adventure in Lifestyle”, is coming to Saint John’s East Point Shopping. Tweed & Hickory specialize in selling Ladies’ and Men’s fashions as well as a unique blend of high quality lifestyle products including kitchenware, home accessories and gourmet foods, all the while promising to provide their clientele with the ultimate shopping experience.

Work on the new store, to be located next to the Le Chateau lady’s shop at East Point, is now underway with an opening anticipated for early Fall of this year.

Tweed and Hickory is a privately owned Canadian retail chain that has been in operation over 50 years with retail outlets in Ontario and Atlantic Canada. Much of the company’s original growth came from the acquisition of established retailers such as the original Tweed & Hickory store in Sydney, Nova Scotia and Fredericton’s Towne Shoppe. More recently Tweed & Hickory have opened their own stores under the Tweed & Hickory banner applying the same concepts and principles that have made all of their outlets so successful. Although the merchandise mix is similar across their group of stores, every location has components that reflect the specific tastes and needs of the surrounding communities.

Company spokesperson Ahron Lang looks forward to the opening of their East Point store. “Tweed & Hickory is very excited with our opportunity to open this new store in the East Point shopping area. East Point is a tremendous location with a great selection of retailers that will compliment the product lines that we will be offering in our new store. We look forward with great anticipation to opening our doors to customers in the Saint John region. We invite everyone to come and browse through any one of our stores, or visit our website (www.tweedandhickory.com), and discover what we like to call - an adventure in lifestyle.”

East Point developer Troy Northrup is also excited to be welcoming Tweed & Hickory to the area “Our long term goal has always been to attract a wide range of quality stores to East Point and Tweed & Hickory will be a great addition to our development. We are very pleased that Tweed & Hickory have chosen East Point Shopping as the home for their new store here in Saint John.”
