PROFFITT'S
Various locations
What do towels, tank tops, ties and tablespoons all have in common? Sure they all start with the letter "T." Give up? Proffitt's sells them all, and a lot more.
Since 1919, when the first Ellis-Proffitt Co. opened its doors in Maryville, Proffitt's has been selling its customers everything from footwear to underwear. If you're looking for a color scheme for your bathroom, Proffitt's can help you redecorate. If you're doing some last-minute Christmas shopping, Proffitt's has gifts for the entire family. There's jewelry for your wife, more clothing than your teenage daughter will ever wear and even a crystal picture frame for Mom.
So whether you want a birthday gift or need to set up your wedding gift registry, Proffitt's has got what you need.
And not just the things that start with the letter "T" either.
