For more than 70 years, Marion has had a Roses discount store and that beloved business has been located at three different locations within the city during its long history.
This ad appeared in The McDowell News in 1987 when Roses moved from the Lady Marian Plaza to its current location. It shows all three locations for the discount store.
This photo of Roses employees at the South Main Street store was probably taken sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s. It was taken on the stairway which leads to the lower level. Margaret Fox, who worked at the store for more than 50 years, can be seen in the back row on the upper level. Shirley Jimison, another longtime employee, can be seen in the second row on the right.
