One of the things we pride ourselves on at the James Store is our experience in, and selection of, great fitting pants and jeans for women. And on that note, we are proud to announce that we now carry Not Your Daughter’s Jeans (or “NYDJ,” for short.) If you have never heard of them, it is worth taking the time to find out more. These are the jeans that Oprah raved about.
Here is a little excerpt from the NYDJ About Us page:
Praised by celebrities and real women galore, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans is the most innovative product to hit fashion and beauty industries since control top pantyhose. Never has there been a product that empowered women to look and feel their best the way Not Your Daughter’s Jeans® does. Not Your Daughter’s Jeans addresses problem areas that women across all body types, ages and ethnicities have. They slim the often problematic lower abdomen, contour the hips and lift the butt without the feeling of being stuffed in binding, tight and uncomfortable material. Say goodbye love handles that spill over restricting waistlines and derriere-revealing low riders. These jeans are incredibly soft and will feel more like your favorite pair of sweatpants than your most flattering pants. The secret, their special “crisscross” front panel design and extra stretch in the rear has lead to rave reviews from curvaceous leading ladies Rachel Ray, Diane Sawyer and Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
NYDJ joins our existing brands, FDJ French Dressing and Vanilia, to offer a whole suite of options for finding that perfect pair (or pairs) of pants or jeans.
Stop in the store or give us a call to learn more. Vanilia and FDJ French Dressing are offered for sale in our online store; NYDJ is coming soon.

We recently placed a large order for Ohio State Crocs and they should arrive right around September 1st– just in time for football season. I imaging they will go fast, so stop by or call the store (740-587-7780) to check on availability. We’d be happy to reserve a pair for you.
We have ordered a whole range of sizes for men, women & kids in both styles.

At long last, our first shipment of Crocs sandals have arrived at The James Store. The first shipment contains Mary Jane and Prima styles. In a few days, both the Kids Caymans and Adult Caymans will begin arriving. We have a whole assortment of colors ordered, so stop in while the selection is good!
The June 14th, 2007 edition of the Columbus Dispatch had a great interview with The James Store co-owner, Samantha Smith. The article was part of the weekly Shop Talk section that features an interview with local small business owners.
Recently we have seen a surge in the number of Columbus customers that are visiting the store during a day trip to Granville. The James Store offers a selection of boutique clothing brands for women & children that are hard to find even in a large city like Columbus, Ohio. Plus, a day trip to Granville offers great restaurants, museums, shopping– a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon.
Questions? Give us a call at 740-587-3061 or email at info@thejamesstore.com.
The James Store will begin carrying Crocs sometime toward the end of June 2007. We are extremely excited to begin carrying the great line. Watch the website for the announcement when the shipments arrive.
There are a fair number of customers anxious to buy multiple pairs, so please shop the store early when they arrive. We will try to re-order frequently to ensure we offer a wide selection on an ongoing basis.
In late May, The James Store began carrying Vera Bradley luggage, in addition to its existing large selection of Vera Bradley merchandise. As you may know, we are not allowing to sell these items online, but if you have any questions, please call the store at 740-587-3061, or drop us an email at info@thejamesstore.com.
The new luggage will almost certainly be a huge hit, so stop in before it is scooped up. However, rest assured we will be ordering more, and can also place a special order for you if you know what you want. This year we began selling Vera Bradley towels, flip-flops and other beach gear– and it was a big hit as well.
For all Vera Bradley news, visit our Vera Bradley info page on the website.
On April 21st (2007), the James Store is hosting its semi-annual Geiger trunk show at our store in Granville, Ohio. However, after thinking about it a little more, we realized, “maybe not everyone knows what a trunk show is.”
Here are a few trunk show definitions that Google provides & this is a great article that describes why brands like them. Here is another well written article from Wisegeek. And then, of course, this explanation couldn’t be complete without the Wikipedia entry on trunk shows.
In our case, a trunk show is an event where an apparel vendor (in this case Geiger of Austria) comes directly to the James Store to sell its merchandise. Customers ordering at this show not only receive access to a wide selection of merchandise– more than is typically available at the store– but also receive a nice discount off the retail price.
If you have any questions, please give us a call and we can give you more details.
You can also purchase Geiger clothing online in our online store.
Read the Granville Sentinel article about our re-opening on March 10th. Also, there is a nice recap of the history of the 61-year-old store.
We’re excited to get the store open again– stop by and see us on Saturday!
