Gift shop opens in Mercantile Building
4 Sep 2020
A gift shop that recently opened in Beatrice’s Mercantile Building is aiming to offer something for everyone.
Blue Bulldog opened earlier this year in the building that also houses a clothing boutique, cigar shop and brewery.
Owner Kelly DeBoer said the idea to open the store, which offers many locally-sourced items, came after she was looking for gifts for her daughter’s teachers and had trouble finding unique items locally.
