Soroptimist Student of The Month
Judy English Co Owner Of TheTradin Post Tom and Judy English of Rio Vista had just sold their boat and they were wondering what they could invest their money in. They thought about real estate and then asked around in the community, on what would be a good retail store to open. Their thoughts kept coming back to a work clothing store for men. The English’s then decided to open Tradin Post a store designed for the men (or women) that work in the service oriented field. They are located on 25 S 3rd Street. The shop has only been open just a few weeks and they have had an overwhelming amount of positive response from Rio Vista. “There was just no where local, that the blue collar workers could go to shop,” says Judy. “Tom and I wanted to put our money back into the local economy of Rio Vista.” Tradin Post has just about everything a man would need for work. It offers; T-shirts,
socks and underclothing. Pants, jackets, insulated bibs and warm outerwear. With name brands like Dickies, Lee, Wrangler and Hanes. Down the road they will offer boots and other items. If you don’t see what you would like in the store, they will special order it for you. They also will take men and womens jeans for resale. The English’s are new to the retail business. Judy worked in El Dorado County as a Deck Hand for the Real Mc Coy Ferry for 5 ½ years and Tom still works for Caltrans as a Draw Bridge Operator. Tradin Post is open Monday thru Saturday from 10-6. Their Grand Opening Celebration will be Saturday January 29 all day long. They will be serving hot dogs and soda. The store will offer Grand Opening Specials. Don’t forget to come by. For more information call 925-584-7677. Happy Shopping
