PayLess Variety Popular
Pay Less Drug made its debut
in Hermiston last July and has
established itself as a popular
attraction at the Hermiston
Plaza Shopping Center.
"We're pleased with the pub
lic's response," said Mike Farrar,
manager, who was on hand for
the opening of the approximately
35,000 square foot facility.
The most popular feature of
the store, said Farrar, is the
"variety" of merchandise it car
ries. Pay Less has developed its
store around the "mall-in-one"
concept with separate depart
ments for cameras, toys, sport
ing goods, hardware items, auto
motive parts and accessories, pet
supplies, garden and plant supp
lies, major appliances, records
and cosmetics.
There is also a well-stocked
pharmacy with a pharmacist on
duty during the store's regular

operating hours, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Monday through Saturday and
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Farrar said the store employs
two full-time pharmacists and
one that works on a part-time
basis. Mike is also a pharmacist
and is capable of filling in when
the need arises.
Farrar said the store was
"tailored" to the area's needs.
"We want to be a local store and
a part of the community," he
said.
Mike is starting his seventh
year with Pay Less. He managed
a Pay Less store in Klamath
Falls for about Vt years before
coming to Hermiston. He is a
graduate of the University of
Montana.
Assistant manager is Bob
Kuhn who was transferred from
the Pay Less store in Lewiston.
He's been with company about
nine years.
Shari's Offers 'Dressy Decor'
Shari's, Hermiston's newest
family-style restaurant, has
been doing a brisk business
since opening at the Hermis
ton Plaza Shopping Center.
"We've been completely
full" at times, noted manager
and part-owner Marty
Briones. She remembers one
Saturday when each booth
was used about four times
during the lunch hour.
She feels one of Shari's
biggest drawing cards, in
addition to its "excellent
location," is its atmosphere.
She feels it has a "lot more
dressier decor" than the aver
age family restaurant.
High, raftered ceilings help
project a "warm, open feel
ing," she says. But the indiv
idual booths are situated to
allow diners to relax in rela
tive privacy.
The exterior of the hexagonal-shaped
building and
surrounding landscpaing also
projects a stylish image. The
landscaping includes small
shrubs and trees. An instant
lawn was planted with strips
of sod.
The restaurant was de
signed and constructed by
Hermiston resident Ron Berg-
quist, who named it after his
wife. He plans to use the same
name for other restaurants he
hopes to build.
Construction of the second
Shari's should begin in Sher
wood, near Portland, within a
month. Two others could be
built this year also. Having
five or six restaurants open
within a few years has been
discussed, according to Mrs.
Briones.
Shari's menu, which in
eludes dinners featuring
steak, seafood, chicken and
pork chops, is priced to fit a
family's budget, she says. The
prices will allow "the whole
family" to enjoy a restaurant
meal more often, she adds.
Families won't have a hard
time finding a place to sit.
None of the booths seat less
than four people.
Booths for two aren't really
very comfortable, notes Mrs.
Briones. Most couples would
rather have a larger table, she
feels.
Although Shari's doesn't
have a banquet room, some
booths can seat eight to 10
people. One can handle 15 to
20. Total seating capacity is
about 120.
The kitchen is designed to
accomodate two cooks when
necessary.
Shari's is open for business
24 hours a day, seven days a
week, holidays included.
Mrs. Briones has about 15
years of restaurant experi
ence, including three years as
manager of the Blue Bucket.
She has worked in Seattle,
Portland and San Francisco.
