Nice to see the big city folks checking out what’s what in the ‘burbs

It’s a good sign that we haven’t updated our website in quite some time. The reason? We had an outstanding holiday season! We want to take a minute to thank ALL of our amazing customers for staying local and supporting not just Howard & Marge but all the other great businesses in the Burien area. We truly appreciate you!!!

We also want to thank you all for continuing to support us as we head into 2012. The staff at Howard & Marge are VERY enthusiastic about what’s in store for the new year. One of the  first things we have started is our Customer Rewards Program.  Customers will earn $5 for every $100 spent in the store. You can use your credit on your next visit or accumulate your $$ for future visits, but it must be spent within 90 days of issue.

In February, we will head down to Las Vegas for our big buying extravaganza! We are really looking forward to stocking the store with fabulous Spring merchandise. If there is clothing items or products you would like us to carry, we would love to hear your thoughts at howardandmarge@comcast.net.

In order to make room for our new items, we are  having a Rockin’ Rollin’ Rack Sale!!! Stop by for items 40%, 50% and 70% off!! Don’t wait, style and sizes are limited. All sales final.

We wish you all a healthy and wealthy New Year!!!!

Olde Burien will sizzle with a Summer Street Party on Saturday, July 16th, with a full day packed with fun diversions ranging from ice-cream (and sausage) eating contests to live music to a drawing for a $500 shopping spree to a live wedding onstage and much more.

From Noon to midnight, the Olde Burien Block Party will also feature a sausage-eating contest, a fashion show and a drawing for a $500 shopping spree, plus a live wedding onstage. The free event is a thank you from the Olde Burien merchants to customers and community for their support.

Be sure to enter the drawing to win a $500 Olde Burien shopping spree. Every time shoppers make a purchase at participating businesses that day, they will be entered in the drawing. The shops will offer special deals, so it’s an ideal time to shop the unique wares of Olde Burien.

Until 10 p.m., catch live entertainment on an outdoor stage while savoring the food and drink of various Olde Burien eateries in their extended outdoor seating. Don’t miss the live wedding onstage of a member of Uncle Ernie. Or become part of the action by competing in the ice-cream-eating and sausage-eating contests.

In the street party’s entertainment lineup are:
