Lincks Clothing and Shoes is the place to go for sporting goods, as well as every day wear. Rita and Rick Lincks have owned the store since 2006. The store is located at 15 Public Square, Salem.
On Thursday, Aug. 8, they held their Educators Appreciation Night. All educators received 25% off anything in the store from dresses, shoes and spirit wear to support their schools. They were also treated to refreshments and gift bags.
Rita Lincks said she likes to do it every year, but of course Covid messed up the cycle.
She also had meal cards from Salem Apothecary worth $10 for a “buy one, get one free” for those spending over $50.
Rita said, “It’s a way to thank our teachers who educate all the kids.”
Many items in the store were marked down, from 35% for summer wear and shoes for 50% off.
Rita’s friend, Geilee Hunt, was selling permanent Peralinx Jewelry by Bloom. This is Gerilee’s retirement job after retiring from First Harrison Bank.
The jewelry is stainless steel and can be wore all the time. Items include necklaces, ankle chains or wrist bracelets.
Gerilee can be reached by calling 812-844-0163 or email
