The grand opening is just a couple of weeks away for the new Roses Express on Halls Ferry.

The highly successful retail chain has expanded its operations to Vicksburg and have moved into the old Fred’s building. Fred’s closed down at this location July 6. Earlier this week, Fred’s announced it will be closing all of its stores nationwide.

Roses inked a deal with property owner Jack Branning almost immediately after Fred’s departure and began the process of a store in Vicksburg.

Fred’s General Manager Barry Bingham was retained by Roses Express to operate the new store. Roses management has indicated that most of the staff from Fred’s was also retained.
