They also have some great prices on jeans, dress pants and footwear. I bet they have better deals than the entire Grove City outlets. Next you need to visit the Pechin Marina. I was there when Mr. Pechin stopped for his lunch. Cheap steak dinners with all the fixin's. There are people that buy hamburgers there every day to feed their dogs...cheaper than dog food. BTW, it's not the City of Pechin, Pechin's Shopping Village is in Dunbar, PA. The marina is in Denbo, PA. I think Mr. Pechin has a few other business scattered throughout the area and I also believe he has a large part in the Pizza Outlet franchise. I also understand Mr. Pechin is a decent fellow, at least I like to think he is. http://www.pechin.com/ Mary wrote: > Saturday I was attending a meeting in Uniontown when a speaker mentioned a > place called "Pechin."
