Posted by Fred Steiner on November 27, 2019 - 1:19pm

Bluffton has a new downtown retail shop, and it opened just in time for the holidays.

Roots by Strattons, a satellite of Stratton Greenhouses, opened this week in the former Et Cetera Shop, 111 S. Main St.

Susie Stratton, says, “It’s a dream come true. For several years we’ve wanted to open a storefront on Main Street.”

Residents with a very long memory can recall Susie’s “Plants and Things,” storefront on Main Street from 1977 to 1979. So, in a way, it’s a return downtown.
