Session To Discuss Future Of The Village Mercantile

A group of Saranac Lakers are preparing to pitch a new future for The Village Mercantile on Sunday. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, two months ago, the board of the only community-owned department store in New York publicly stated that it’s been struggling financially since it opened in 2011 and revealed that they were considering dissolving the corporation. On Sunday, Mercantile shareholders Lindy Ellis, Valerie Trudeau and Regina Derzon will be back at the Cantwell Room holding a pitch session from 2 to 4 p.m. It will be open to the public to attend.
