MT. VERNON — Two new Gordmans locations have officially opened in Centralia and Mt. Vernon.

The Centralia location at Fairview Park Plaza held their grand opening Wednesday night and the Mt. Vernon location at Times Square Mall officially opened Thursday morning.

Karen Heise is the store manager of the new Gordmans location in Mt. Vernon. She has been at the store for over twenty years, and she says this store and the Mt. Vernon community mean a lot to her.

As a part of the grand openings, Gordmans is donating $1,000 to both Centralia High School and Mt. Vernon Township High School. MVTHS Principal Rowdy Fatheree says he’s happy to see a new member of the Mt. Vernon community.

Gordmans will be open at both locations from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and on Sundays they’ll be open from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
