Down South Store Now Online!

Kudzuville (March 2, 2009) - At long last the event a lot of readers have been asking for -- Down South finally has an online store!! Now readers and fans alike can buy Down South merchandise and other southerly goods.

The decision to open an online store was made largely in response to readers and fans of the comic strip who have been asking where to buy goods and merchandise of a southerly nature.

The store officially opened on February 23rd along with the debut of the new and improved Down South website. That debut marked the first anniversary of the comic strip on the web.

Currently, the store has only a few items, but more will be added in the days and weeks to come. Merchandise will eventually include clothing from the folks at Y'all Magazine, Down South T-shirts, drinkware, art prints, original comis strip art, books, CD's, DVD's, and more.

All items in the Down South store will be MADE IN THE USA. (No foreign-made goods.) We'll readily admit it...we're prejudiced! Down's South's intention is to only sell goods that are American-made, with a preference for products made in the American South. It's our little contribution to the effort of keeping American workers employed and money in their pockets.

The Down South website will be moved to a secure server in a day or two, so as to protect credit card and other personal information of all our shoppers when they place orders. We will post a notice on the site's front page to let you know when that happens.

Meanwhile, we all hope you enjoy the new store. If you don't, you can blame our marketing guy, Keith. It was his idea.

Once again, thanks for a great year and for reading Down South!
