RIBBON CUTTING HELD FOR GOOD RESIDENCE
Local resident and entrepreneur Marsha Siso recently celebrated the ribbon cut
ting and grand opening of her latest local business venture, Good Residence Vin
tage Sales & Service shop on Loganville Highway in Winder. The grand opening
event was held with the Barrow County Chamber of Commerce and attended by
dozens of clients and guests of the vintage shop. Siso opened the vintage shop as a
means of honoring a legacy — the recent passing of her father due to COVID-19 —
and pays tribute to him while offering a “unique, cozy place to shop and discover
one-of-a-kind items.” For more information, go to www.vintagesalesandservice.com

date you want to attend and then complete the
necessary information. When you have com
pleted the purchase, you will receive a confir
