From cowhides to cast iron: Dally’s Thrift and Variety Shop has it all
Flipping second hand items online turned into a brick-and-mortar endeavor at Dally’s Thrift and Variety Shop in Bonifay.
Business has been good at the shop owned by Clint and Kay Long and co-owned by Tammy Blankinship since its soft opening Jan. 7. They finally cut the ribbon Feb. 10 with the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce.
“I started out doing cowhides, cow horns and whiskey barrels,” said Clint Long. Clint was in the business of raising and selling cows and sold out when the market turned down.
Those on the hunt for cowhides and cow horns can still find some at Dally’s, along with a wide variety of housewares, luggage, tools, jewelry, toys, baby items, bedding, home decor, clothing, dishes and much more.
The Longs order items wholesale, buy overstock and grab up storage units when they are available. They also do their market research to keep their prices super competitive with local chain retailers.
“If it sits here too long, it goes,” Kay said.
As for the shop’s moniker, that comes from the couple’s flatline retriever, Dally.
