On Nov. 9, North County will be home to the first location of Here Today, a new discount retail store. Here Today is the brainchild of a group of St. Louis-based retail veterans (hailing from Grandpa’s, DEALS: Nothing Over a Dollar, and Save-A-Lot) who are hoping to launch the next generation of extreme value retailing.
Although Here Today, located in Florissant Meadows Shopping Center at 770 N. Highway 67, is quite large (more than 15,000 square feet), its founders’ goal is to offer a unique, boutique-like shopping experience without the crowded aisles and piles of unorganized merchandise as often prevalent in discount superstores. The store will carry home decor, pet products, electronics, small appliances, storage items, and health and beauty items among other offerings. Additionally, the store will have groceries – both fresh and frozen – and will feature local products, such as Goshen Coffee and Kaldi’s Coffee (Cups of complimentary Kaldi’s coffee will be available for shoppers.), Companion products, Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate items, Zia’s and Tony’s pasta sauces, local craft beer and more.
