Former Staples employees Kassandra Wood and Gary Francis turned a campfire idea into Prints Charming Repair, a new downtown shop bringing affordable, hometown printing and repair services back to The Dalles.

Renovation has everyone talking in The Dalles about a new clothing retailer. Everyone but company officials. Nevertheless, the renovation sends a clear message that a new store is coming. But which one?

“We do have a tenant about to sign a lease but I am not able to talk about it yet,” said Darren Dickerhoof, Manager of Riviera Enterprises LLC and Dickerhoof Properties based in Corvallis. “It’s a national clothing chain that I think the town will like.”
