Chino Valley Bargain Hunters Celebrate Ribbon Cutting at Open Hands

October 31, 2024 By quadcities Leave a Comment

Aside from fishing equipment, the store also sells other sporting goods, plants, clothes, lamps, tools, crafts and toys.

Not every bargain store sells reptile food and worms, but owners Robert and Monica Lawson raise reptiles and fishing is their favorite pastime, so it is natural for them to sell these products. “A lot of our customers already buy mice and rats from me,” said Robert.

The Lawsons and about 50 customers of Open Hands Bargain Store, on Butterfield Road in Chino Valley, braved the cold weather to celebrate its grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday, Oct. 18. Open Hands Bargain Store received a certificate of appreciation from the Chino Valley Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center during the event.

Aside from fishing equipment, the store also sells other sporting goods, plants, clothes, lamps, tools, crafts and toys. The owners say they enjoy searching for items to sell, helping kids and being involved in the community. “My passion has always been hunting for bargains,” said Robert.

Revenue from sales help fund local baseball, football and cheerleading teams. Robert coaches youth baseball and serves as the town’s chief umpire. QCBN
