North Adams Clothing Store Moving to Larger Space

Staff Reports Print Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Label Shopper is moving across the parking lot to the former Peebles location in April.
 
The discount clothing store has been located in the downtown's L-shaped mall downtown since 2009. It replaced Fashion Bug, which had been in that spot for 24 years before closing in 2007; the company liquidated in 2013. 
 
Label Shopper is part of Peter Harris Clothes, established in 1970 by Peter Elitzer. Starting as a single store in Latham, N.Y., offering brand-name apparel at discount prices, the company operates more than 70 stores throughout the Northeast and Midwest.
 
The store is set to close on April 6 for the move and reopen on April 9 in the former Gordmans, according to signage. 
 
Gordmans briefly replaced Peebles in the former Kmart until the parent company of the two brands declared bankruptcy and closed its stores in 2020. 
 
At 17,250 square feet, the Gordman's space is at least double the size of Label Shopper's current location.

Haskins Wins School, Select Board Seats

Staff Reports
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — Voters put Daniel Haskins back on the Select Board and also on the School Committee on Tuesday. 
 
Some 60 voters turned out for the low-key election at the Community Center that had no races on the ballot. 
 
Haskins was on the ballot for a second full term on the Select Board. He'd indicated he'd serve on the School Committee if elected, and polled 19 write-in votes to do so. 
 
Laura Wood, School Committee chair, declined to put her name on the ballot for a third term but did poll eight write-in votes. 
 
This isn't the first time someone has done double duty on arguably the town's two most important boards. Jeffrey Levanos first ran for School Committee in 2008 and then for Select Board in 2012. At one point, he was chair of both boards. 
 
Also winning on a write-in was Richard Lefebvre, who earned two votes — beating four other candidates who got one each — for Board of Health. It's not clear if Lefebvre wants or will accept the seat. 
 
Daniel Tanner was elected to Planning Board and incumbents Sarah Hurlbut and Joseph Bushika won re-election to the library trustees and War Memorial Committee, respectively.
