Have You Heard?

WICHITA — And now for the last bit of Delano news for the day.

All Things BBQ will have a soft opening later this month at 615 W. Douglas west of the clock tower.

The specialty retail shop will carry smokers, grills, fuel, sauces, rubs and everything else associated with cooking out. Eventually, it will have cooking classes as well.

“We have a pretty extensive list of things we’re going to be offering,” says Don Cary, who is opening the store with his wife, Kathy.

She’s who convinced him to open the shop and put it in Delano.

WICHITA — Another new store is joining the mix in the already colorful Delano.

The Yellow Cat will open Aug. 1 at 613 B W. Douglas just west of the clock tower.

“It’s going to be a big collection of a lot of stuff,” says owner Ginger Jones.

That includes used books.

“It’s kind of been a dream of mine to open a bookstore,” Jones says.

But she also will sell new decorative items, antique collectibles, art and furniture.

The store, which may have a soft opening in late July, will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays.

“Somebody told me those are barber hours,” Jones says.

She’s excited about the range of items she’ll carry.

“I’m hoping to have something for everyone who walks through the store.”
