We are always excited to get involved in our community and local schools and have partnered with many local events, schools and organizations to promote reading and hand out FREE children's books.

Who inspired you to read? For us, it was our families. And for that, our business is named after the big red barn on Amy's grandparents property. When it came time to name our business back in 2004, a photo of this barn was staring at us during a brainstorming session. At the same time we had recently found the book "Big Red Barn" by Margaret Wise Brown. The local hospital here gives a board book version of this book as a gift to newborns and their families. What an inspiration! Encouraging families to read together and reaching out to our community are two of our primary goals. And so, while our business has never been located in an actual red barn (maybe someday!), the barn remains a symbol of inspiration for us in the form of our name. This barn was re-built many times over the life of the family farm. In much the same way, a business needs to grow and change and re-build itself over the course of its lifetime. We will always strive to meet the reading needs of our customers and our community and we pray that will be an inspiration to you as well. |

From Route 30, Greensburg: Heading East on Route 30 (coming from Greensburg/Jeannette/North Huntingdon), you will turn right at the stop light onto Old Route 30, just past Westmoreland Mall. Boston Market & Casual Male are located on the corners or Route 30/Old Route 30. At the mall stop sign you will go straight. We are located approximately 1/2 mile on the left in an historic (red brick) one-room school house. Heading West on Route 30 (coming from Latrobe/Ligonier), you will turn left at the stop light just before Westmoreland Mall, onto Old Route 30 (between Boston Market/Casual Male). At the mall stop sign you will go straight. We are located approximately 1/2 mile on the left in an historic (red brick) one-room schoolhouse. *The entrance to our parking lot is angled toward the direction of the mall. The easiest way to enter is from the directions above. However if you are coming from the opposite direction on Old Route 30 (in which we would be located on your right), you may want to pass us up and turn around in order to make an easier entrance. If you attempt a right turn into our lot, be advised that it is a sharp right turn and may require some backing up! We have plenty of parking space and large trucks enter and exit daily with no problems! |
