Hinsdale Clothiers Reopens After Repairing Flood Damage
A grand reopening is planned for Saturday; the business was closed for six weeks' repair after June storms sent a transformer pole through their roof.
Hinsdale Clothiers (777 N. York Road) reopened on Monday, six weeks after suffering massive damage to their interior and stock in flooding near the end of June.
The clothes store will be having a celebration of their grand reopening on Saturday, Aug. 10 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and beverages along with 20 percent off all stock.
“When Mother Nature decided it was time for us to ‘reorganize,’ we rose to the challenge,” the business wrote on their website.
