A Merger and a New Home

Hands moves to 128 E College Street, across from where Martini’s Bar is today, and then merges with and quickly acquires O. Startsman at 109 E Washington Street, Hands’ current location, all in the same year.

Hands & Thornberry

John Hands acquires a partner, becoming Hands & Thornberry. The partnership is short-lived, and the store moves to 108 E College Street, next to the Federal Building (Wells Fargo Bank) and (former) Raygun store.

Another New Location

John Hands moves his jewelry store to 9 S Dubuque Street, where Masala Indian Cuisine is currently located.
