Not your average lab: Retail project opening on High Street
MORGANTOWN — A new store blending fashion, education and community held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday on High Street, just in time for the doors to open for First Friday. The Retail Lab is the creation of Elizabeth Shorrock, a West Virginia University fashion design and merchandising professor. The space is more than a storefront, as it also is a place for hands-on learning. WVU students are given the opportunity to have real-world experience in the world of fashion. 'This is a lab for our fashion and WVU classes,' said Shorrock, who led the two-year effort to bring the space to life. 'Students can see the entire process, from visual merchandising and community engagement to the research behind fashion and working directly with customers.' Inspired by a concept shared by a student who studies abroad in Italy, The Retail Lab follows a system that combines a luxury resale store in the front and an educational space in the back. The store will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and will feature high-quality consignment fashion, workshops, artist talks and rotating exhibits by students and local creators. Shorrock emphasized that the store will not accept fast fashion items. 'We do not take any fast fashion clothing,' she said. 'We pick through everything; we want good-quality clothing.' This space is an example where community meets campus. All items in the store are consigned, with the highest commission rates reserved for current fashion students. But the Retail Lab also accepts consignments from alumni and local residents. Daphne Carroll, who graduated from WVU's fashion program in 2024, now serves as store manager. 'It's exciting to be part of something that connects students to Morgantown in a meaningful way,' Carroll said. 'I think there's a disconnect sometimes, and this space helps bridge that gap.' In addition to retail operation, the store space will serve multiple purposes for the community. A career closet is available for all WVU and community members to borrow professional clothing for interviews, headshots, and events. Future plans also in the talks of launching a rental program. This could be used for special occasions such as sorority events, prom, and even banquets. The Retail Lab will also host community workshops, artist lectures and classes for the public. The space can be rented for private events or entrepreneur projects. The store reflects WVU's broader effort to provide students with accessible, practical resources while also engaging the local community. 'Our students have access to so many amazing resources,' Shorrock said. 'Retail Lab ensures they continue to use them post graduation and also gives the community a chance to benefit from those same tools.' The Retail Lab is located on High Street in downtown Morgantown and welcomes shoppers, consignors, and community collaborators beginning this Friday with a grand opening in September.

Council to fill Arthur seat
May 29—Mayor: Village has received multiple applications for South Point council SOUTH POINT — The South Point Village Council is scheduled to fill an open seat on the body at their next meeting. Mayor Jeff Gaskin said an agreement was made at the council's May meeting to wait until the June meeting to appoint an individual to the seat left vacant by the death of council member Marlene Arthur. Arthur, who had served three decades on council, died April 29 at age 87. Gaskin said the council will appoint a replacement to the seat, but, if that is not done, the duty falls to the mayor. Gaskin said the village has received multiple applications for the seat and he expects the council to name someone to the seat. In other news, Gaskin said representatives of the village made a trip on Friday to pick up the newest truck for the South Point Fire Department and bring it to Lawrence County in time for Monday's Ironton-Lawrence County Memorial Day Parade. He said the truck is about "95 percent finished" and, after the parade, they will return it for completion. The $987,000 vehicle is a 2025 Sutphen truck and will be paid off over 15 years, Gaskin said. He said the purchase was made after voters approved a fire levy increase in November 2024. Gaskin said the newest truck was set to appear in the parade with the village's oldest truck, a 1928 model, which was returned to South Point a few years ago and restored for use as a show truck. That truck is making its third appearance in the parade this year, he said. Gaskin noted that the antique truck will be 100 years old in three years. The next meeting of South Point Village Council is set for 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 3.
