HAMILTON’S with JESSIE HAMILTON Jessie, tell us in a few sentences a little bit about you, your family, and your relationship to Brownwood.

The Hamiltons (Bill, Jessie, and three daughters) moved to Brownwood in 1980 for my husband to continue his career in banking. As our daughters started at Baylor, I started working a few days a week for Pat and Gene Arthur at their dress shop. Ten years later, my husband and I had an opportunity to purchase the business. We were both quite active in the community at the time and felt led to make this commitment.

When and where did “Hamilton's” get started?

In November of 2003, Pat and Gene's closed their doors in what is now the Lyric Theatre, and moved two blocks down, to our newly renovated building at 500 Center Ave. The store reopened the next Monday as Hamilton's, a high-end specialty shop. This past June we celebrated our 54th year in our present location.

Your building is iconic in the downtown district tell us a bit about its history.

Once in the 60's, the former Bettis and Gibbs building was referred to as the “Neiman Marcus of Central Texas”. The restoration was a huge undertaking. It was a total renovation from the roof down and literally reconstructed the inside to the exterior walls, necessary due to a fire during the previous ownership.

The building had been boarded up 8 years due to litigation.

You have a variety of items from clothing to furniture in your store – how would you characterize the shopping experience.

Our shop is full of hometown friendliness and a wide variety of items not found in Brownwood.

6 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

What do you think sets local successful stores like Hamilton's apart for the big box variety or the online shopping trend?

It’s our customer service, hands-on approach, and knowing our customers.

You have a loyal base of shoppers – what do you do to keep them coming back year after year?

Special events, special sales, promotions, and the smiling faces of our associates.

Here's your chance to tell us something about being in the historic downtown area of Brownwood and what makes that special.

We moved our business 2 blocks to stay on Center Avenue in order to practice what we believed in; supporting downtown retail, and the restoration and preservation of Historic buildings. Selling our former location, we feel was a winwin for Downtown. T his has enabled our community to now enjoy performances in our newly restored Lyric Theatre.
