Clothes retailer restores former Christmas Barn
BETHLEHEM TWP. | A Danish clothing retailer will open a discount outlet this fall at the former Christmas Barn on Easton Avenue, company officials announced Tuesday.

The store will open Sept. 13 to sell 5,000 to 7,000 items in the newer of the two red barns, company officials said.

Its collection also includes multiple shades of indigo-dyed knitwear. "We cater to a middle-age demographic (with) comfortable designs, comfortable natural fibers," Martin said.
