Howl with Laughter

Southbridge store features gags, magic, and Halloween costumes galore By Rita Schiano

(PRWEB) September 13, 2004 -- With Halloween just around the corner, make a point to stop by Four Eyes Joke Shop at the corner of Main and Central Streets in Southbridge, MA. Four Eyes flagship store located, ironically, in the "Eye of the Commonwealth," is housed in the very same building where William Beecher first made spectacles in 1833. A bit eerie, dont you think?

Speaking of eerie, at Four Eyes Joke Shop youll find hundreds of costumes to choose from. As a proud member of the National Costumers Association, Four Eyes is committed to providing quality costumes to meet any budget. Youre sure to find something that suits your spirit and make people howl with laughter.

As you can tell from the stores name, youll find more than costumes at Four Eyes Joke Shop. The Four Eyes family--Val and Al, and their fun-loving kids Alex and Kat--have worked hard to create a fall-on-the-floor-laughing atmosphere inside the store. They offer old-time joke favorites as well as thousands of gag gifts, practical joke and prank props, and magic. The focus of Four Eyes is good humor and fun for everyone. Surprisingly, a lot of our customers are people in their forties and fifties. Maybe its because they remember what it was like to have a good laugh when they were younger," said Val.

The Four Eyes family is one fun-loving bunch of folks. Their mission is to make sure that every visitor to Four Eyes Joke Shop leaves feeling good, feeling a little bit brighter and happier for having come into their shop. Four Eyes creed? If the soul made a sound, it would be LAUGHTER.

So plan to stop on by Four Eyes Joke Shop for all your any time, any kind party needs. Costumes-theyre not just for Halloween anymore!
