Last Tuesday Imagine Gift Store held a ribbon cutting celebrating the completion of their exterior renovations, which began earlier this year and prompted the store to reassure loyal customers and fans that they were not going out of business; and in fact, quite the contrary.

“We are thrilled to reveal our new look and celebrate this achievement with the community,” said Michelle Santiago, Owner of Imagine Gift Store. “This renovation is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to provide a unique and enjoyable shopping experience while preserving the charm of our historic location.”

Santiago said the new appearance marked a milestone for the shop, and thanked the support they have received from the community during their tutelage of the historic former Lyric Theater, which was built in 1916.

“The recent upgrades have transformed our exterior, restoring and enhancing the beauty of our historic building while creating a fresh, inviting space for our customers,” Santiago added. “This celebration is not only a showcase of our new look but also a testament to our resilience and dedication as the largest gift store in New England.”
