Scott and Kelly Jerew and their children Gus and Hurley have opened a new business in Richwood. Known as G & H Threads, the family-owned operation specializes in custom shirts, hats, jackets, uniforms, signs and banners. The business is located at 16 ½ N. Fulton St., and shares accommodations with the village Woodworker. According to the owners, the business’ name came from Whirlpool’s DOTT-line employees. Since it’s a family enterprise, name the business after Jerew’s Children, Gus and Harley, seemed more than appropriate.
