New menswear store opens

Owner Tim Slusher cut the ribbon on Van Wert’s newest menswear store, TAG Menswear, 112 N. Washington St., on Tuesday. The new store, whose name comes from the first initial of Slusher’s first name, as well as those of his sons, Avery and Grant, offers a good selection men’s clothing, including big and tall sizes, and also offers gift cards. Hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays, although Slusher said that could change based on demand. Looking on are store employees and board members of the Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce. (Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
