Marion County has created within itself a brand new happenin’ place!

The new Tygart Commons houses Rue 21, The Donut Connection, Sally’s Beauty Salon, Game Exchange, U.S. Cellular, Shoe Show… and there’s just one more to add!

This “one more” has been a secret for quite some time, but it’s finally on its way! Rommie’s will be coming soon!

Rommie’s is an addition to the already bustling Donut Connection. Soon to be serving frozen yogurt and delicious ice cream only a short walk from donuts, coffee and bagels. What a fabulous combination, a match made in Marion.

The Commons brings all these cool places to shop together in one location. It’s located at Tygart Street in Whitehall, smack dab between the Tygart Valley Cinemas and Wal-Mart, just off exit 132 to South Fairmont. Easy to find, convenient to go, and fun to be there!
