An Open House on Fri, July 27, 4 to 6 pm, marks the official opening of CC Hardman Co. at the new shop, 33 09 Line Ave, Shreveport.

"We were way overdue to move," admitted Ralph Hardman, 4th-generation owner of CC Hardman Co. Having been on Texas St for some 75 years, the building in which Hardman has been located was purchased by architect Kevin Bryan, said Cynthia Hardman.

The new Hardman Co location is the former site of Earthereal Restaurant. Chef John and Katie Koellen recently retired and closed the landmark eatery.

Hours are 9 to 5:30, M - Fri. Sat is 9 to noon. Telephone remains the same: 318 221 5189.

Let it be noted that the safest and most capacious parking area is at the back of the shop.
