Downtown Shops Open Late

This Spring, Summer, and Fall, during the regular monthly wine tastings at Backwoods Bean, some other shops on Main Street will have extended hours…

May through October, Murphy’s Mercantile, Studio Redwood, and The Sparta Store will be open late the last Friday of each month. Murphy’s Mercantile and Studio Redwood are neighboring businesses, located at the southeast corner of Main Street and Whitehead Street (US 221 and NC 18). The Sparta Store is on the southwest block of the same intersection. Backwoods Bean is just a few doors up the street from the corner, past Kermit’s Barber Shop and the Alleghany Historical Museum.

All of these businesses have new products in stock that you might have not seen yet. From artwork and home decor to accessories to stylish functional items, these shops feature a wide (and very affordable!) array of locally-produced items.

Stop by, visit with the folks at the wine tastings, and see what all is available downtown. Check out the places you haven’t been, and see what’s new at the places you have.

SHOP SMALL BUSINESS.
SHOP SPARTA.

Make a Positive Impact with Imaging Specialists.

In efforts to be an environmentally responsible organization, we’ve joined Call2Recycle, the only free rechargeable battery and cell phone collection program in North America. By conveniently recycling used rechargeable batteries and old cell phones through Call2Recycle, we’re demonstrating our commitment to the environment by adopting green business practices.

“Participating in a battery recycling program is one important way that businesses can advance their green business practices and make their organization more sustainable,” said Carl Smith, president and CEO of RBRC, which operates Call2Recycle. “Imaging Specialists is joining thousands of businesses across the country that have incorporated battery recycling into environmental initiatives and are contributing to a cleaner environment and healthier, safer communities.”

Rechargeable batteries are a long-lasting, eco-friendly power source for many electronic devices, including laptop computers, cell phones, portable scanners and printers, power tools and PDAs. We want to encourage others to recycle the rechargeable batteries used in our offices and community every day, preventing the used products from entering the solid waste stream.

Since 1996, 70 million pounds of rechargeable batteries have been collected through Call2Recycle. Various federal, state and provincial regulations govern the proper disposal of rechargeable batteries and cell phones, naming Call2Recycle in official legislation as the collection method for eco-safe rechargeable battery and cell phone reclamation and recycling. Call2Recycle is the first battery program to attain Basel Action Network (BAN) e-Steward qualification and upholds strict third-party standards for environmental safety and social responsibility.

El Torito Menus & Decals

We’ve just finished a print job for the newest restaurant in town, El Torito.

Mario Ruiz asked us to modify existing menus from other El Torito restaurants, reversing their familiar, red and black design to give Sparta its own look. We redrew the “mad bull” logo, depicted it in red and black “leather,” removed the already printed screens and added new bleed allowances to the menu images.

We also generated and installed vinyl decals at the main entrance doors.

El Torito is located at 854 South Main Street, where KFC used to be. Check ’em out! You can call in your order at 372-2880.

If you need menus, business cards, forms, flyers or any printed materials for you business, give us a call.
