PIERCETON – The Pierceton Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting for Kelly Jo's, 105 N. First St., Pierceton, on Thursday.
Kelly Jo Jost, who owns Kelly Jo’s with husband David, said Kelly Jo’s started about two years ago. The business started at The Shops at the Sanctuary in Columbia City. The business moved to the Pierceton location in August.
Kelly Jo’s offers home furnishings, bath items, rugs, candles and home decor.
Kelly Jo said she’s always loved flipping furniture, so it’s been a passion of hers and owning her own business has always been a dream of hers. David said Kelly Jo has been in retail her whole life and got into consignment work out of the house and that led to everything else.
Kelly Jo said she couldn’t do it without God, David, her children and her friends.
David said they used to come to Pierceton a lot to do shopping and fell in love with Beyond The Barn, which was housed in the store Kelly Jo’s is now at. The owner sold the business and it was at the same time David was retiring and “it just worked out.”
David said the couple have fallen in love with Pierceton, the people and the businesses, “it’s just a good vibe.” They hope to integrate into the community and be a positive part of it.
Hours of business are Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
