New Airport Mall store

Marshalls Inc. of Framingham, Mass., will hold a grand opening Oct. 23 for its new store at the Airport Mall. The 30,000-square-foot store departments include men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, gourmet food, giftware, lingerie, luggage, shoes and domestics. The store will offer Bangor area shoppers brand name fashions and home decor products at prices 60 percent below department and specialty stores, officials said.

“We look forward to introducing Marshalls to the Bangor market and expect that out great selection of family fashions and home accents will have tremendous appeal for value conscious shoppers,” said spokeswoman Jennifer DeBarge-Goonan. “At Marshalls you’ll find the same great trends found in department and specialty stores at a fraction of the price. This includes brand name fashions for the whole family and home accents for every room in the house.”

Marshalls has 650 stores in 42 states and Puerto Rico.

Store hours on opening day will be 8 a.m.-10 p.m., then 9:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday. To learn more, call (800) MARSHALLS or visit www.marshalls online.com.

Bonair Pella donations

Bonair Enterprises, a Pella Windows franchise, donated truckloads of windows and doors to two local Bangor charities, The Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity. The Salvation Army held its annual harvest auction Oct. 3-4, where the windows and doors were auctioned. Proceeds will help fund continuing services to the less fortunate.

Mary MacKay, project director for the Salvation Army, said, “The Salvation Army depends upon companies like Bonair Pella. With their support we’re able to deliver high quality social services to Bangor area residents.”

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Bangor sold the Pella windows and doors at its annual yard sale and netted $2,200.

Monique Gautreau of Habitat for Humanity, said, “The Bangor area has a larger-than-average underserved population and with all that this entails, it is a challenge for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Bangor to build more than one house per year. The proceeds from the Bonair Pella donation is a significant amount and will be used towards purchasing materials for the 2004 housing project.”

Habitat for Humanity is accepting donations and applications for housing, and may be reached at 942-8977.

“Bonair Pella Windows and Doors is committed to building strong relationships with its customers, communities, and associates,” said Jesse Stevens, president of Bonair Pella.

“We’re proud to provide Pella windows and doors to The Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity and we’re eager to support other nonprofit organizations throughout the Bangor region that are committed to enhancing community quality of life.”
