BRUCE VARIETY ADVERTISES IN FRONT OF RIVAL'S STORE (PHOTOS)

Bruce Variety had a sign man stationed in front of competitor Bradley Party & Variety's yet-to-open store in the Bradley Shopping Center Saturday.

Of course, if you've been following the dime store soap opera in Bethesda over the last 5 months, you know that BP&V's store is the former home of Bruce Variety. One of the signs carried by the man alerted shoppers and passing motorists that Bruce Variety is now open at 8011 Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda.

It will be interesting to see if Bruce's brings the sign man back to Bradley Shopping Center when their competitor opens.
