The Conrads Blog

On September 1st, 2019 Conrads Easton opened its doors for the first time. 3 years and one worldwide pandemic later, we are on the move again, this time for good.

We are happy and proud to announce that Conrads will be moving into our new home and flag ship location at {REDACTED}. All jokes aside, we are not able to announce our new address just yet, but we can tell you our new store will be the largest Conrads to date. 

Our hope is to open the doors before the season kicks off on September 3rd. However, Conrads will still be open at Conradsosu.com and at our gameday location in front of Riverwatch Tower during all Ohio State home games.

During our move we will be offering online deals and specials that will change every week. We will also be doing free local delivery (within 30 miles of Easton)  on any purchase over $15 and free shipping on any purchase over $20. 

We hope to also offer a local pickup option soon as well. Stay tuned for more information!

Come join Conrads as we go to the Franklin County Fair and Ohio State Fair. Conrads will be setting up a booth at two fairs this summer. 

Franklin County Fair: July 18th- July 24th 

We will be set up in the Dellinger Building.

Ohio State Fair: July 27th- August 7th 

We will be in the middle aisle of The Shoppes at North Commercial Building.

One of the founders and proprietors of Conrads, Rob Cohen passed away on April 2nd from pancreatic cancer. Conrads is actively working to remember Rob while also raise money for the Wexner Medical Center and the James Cancer Hospital in his honor. In the meantime we've invited those of you who knew Rob to leave comments below on the page with your memories.

The 2021 global supply chain delays are impacting every business that ships items to customers. We want to let you know that items shipping directly from manufacturers may take an extra week or two to arrive.

Because of this, we suggest ordering early so you can try to beat the delays. This is a global problem, so we don’t know when it will end, and whether any delays will get shorter or longer. If we have any new updates, we will post them here.
