PERHAM

— Prairiegrass Home Decor and Gifts celebrated its re-grand opening with members of the Perham Area Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, May 8.

The business officially opened its brick-and-mortar store, located at 125 W Main St. in Perham, on March 15 but customers can also browse their inventory and make purchases online at

“I always wanted my own store,” Prairiegrass owner Stacy Chesley said. “I enjoy when people come in looking for an idea and I can help them with that. It’s always nice to see that appreciation from a person and hear them say, ‘I really like this.’ I get a lot of satisfaction from that.”

Prairiegrass offers a number of different items customers can’t get anywhere else because they are made by Chesley herself.

“Most of our stuff is wholesale, but I paint signs and custom make lazy susans and table runners out of wood, as well as coasters and other unique things like that,” Chesley continued.

“We also have a little gift side of the store as well, so people can come in for their own homes or a quick gift,” she said. “There’s a little something for everybody.”

Chesley also keeps customers up to date on new inventory and deals on the store’s Facebook page, which can be found at
