ELLSWORTH — May is for milestones at The Grasshopper Shop, which is embarking on its 30th year of business under new ownership.
The sale of the store was finalized Tuesday. The new owner is Elizabeth McMillan of Lamoine, who has a professional background in marketing and human resources.
“It just feels like it’s time for some new blood — the next generation,” longtime owner Ken Schweikert said Monday.
The store will continue to operate under the name The Grasshopper Shop of Ellsworth. Current staff will remain on board with the addition of a new store manager, Carrie Strauch.
The Grasshopper will continue to carry an eclectic mix of more than 18,000 products, including clothing, jewelry, housewares, toys and music.
“The persona of the store is not going to change,” McMillan said.
Ellsworth native Cyndi Wood is the new media editor at fenceviewer.com. She began her reporting career in 2007, when she joined the staff of The Ellsworth American.
