Three Tishomingo County new businesses are opening their doors this month, with a used-car dealership on Main Street in Tishomingo, a barbecue and billiards spot in Belmont and a pair of shops sharing a restored house in downtown Iuka. The openings were reported Thursday by the Tishomingo County News.
Crane Cars cuts ribbon in Tishomingo
Crane Cars has opened at 1221 Main Street in Tishomingo. Owner Steven Crane was joined by local officials, friends and employees for a ribbon cutting, the newspaper reported.
County Supervisor Jeff Holt and Tishomingo Mayor James Tennyson welcomed the dealership and said they were optimistic about what it will add to the town’s growth, according to the report. The business is pitching itself as a place to buy reliable, affordable vehicles without leaving the county.
The dealership’s website lists the same Main Street address and its inventory. The phone number is 662-427-5555, and the website is cranecars.com.
The Rackhouse sets soft opening in Belmont
In Belmont, a new barbecue and billiards venue called The Rackhouse plans a soft opening on Friday, Nov. 13, from 4 to 10 p.m. at 283 Highway 366, the Tishomingo County News reported.
What to expect on Friday, according to the report:
A limited menu built around slow-smoked barbecue
Draft beer
Pool tables
A chance to give the owners feedback before the full opening
A date for the full opening has not been announced.
Two shops share historic home in downtown Iuka
In Iuka, April Joy Co. and 3rd Generation have celebrated their grand opening in a restored historic home on Eastport Street downtown. The newspaper reported the businesses are owned by Joyce Park, April King and Margret Tucker.
The shops carry home decor, artwork and gifts, with most of the merchandise made in America. The owners also plan to feature local art and crafts, and Park’s salon is expected to move into the building later, according to the report.
Why it matters for Tishomingo County
The three openings are spread across three towns and come just ahead of the holiday shopping season, when Iuka, Belmont, Tishomingo and Burnsville all host Christmas parades and markets. Shoppers looking to keep their spending close to home now have a few more places to do it.
