Title: Lionel Giroux's Old Furniture Reopened
Post by: Henry on December 17, 2011, 08:28:29 AM

Was driving on Lake Street in St. Albans the other day and noticed that Lionel Giroux's Old Furniture is now reopened as Wendell's. I have never been in to Wendell's, but it sure has been a fast expanding Furniture Store.  I remember going in to Lionel's store from way, way back.  He had a fantastic memory for names and I also learned from my mother-in-law, Kay Hoben, that you never paid the price marked on the items.  You could always dicker that price down just a bit.  We bought quite a few items there over the years and I have to say, you never had to worry about his backing up the items that he sold.  I don't know Wendell, just what I have seen of him in the television ads.
